Lag settings

Question

I have two calendars set up one with a standard week &amp; another weekends only. I want to add a lag for a task which is a weekend activity with the standard week calendar and not the weekend only calendar. Is this possible?&nbsp;

Bkirby88 --If you want the task to occur on a weekend, you need to apply the weekend work calendar to the task.  Does that help?  If not, please follow up with additional questions.  Thanks!

Hi,Not quite.For example:Task 1 - Issue purchase order to supplier ( Weekday calendar )Task 2 - Complete work ( Weekend working ). I want to add a 60day Leadtime from the purchase order until the start of task 2 but it used the weekend working calendar, but the 60day lead time is during the normal working week.

BKirby88 --I can confirm the odd behavior you are seeing.  Yes, the Lag time amount is measured according to the Weekend calendar schedule and not the schedule of the Standard calendar.  I would recommend that you do the following:1.  Break the dependency between task IDs #1 and #2.2.  Create a new task ID #2 named something like Wait for Delivery and set the Duration to 60d.2.  Link task IDs #1-3 with a Finish-to-Start dependency.I think the above will solve your problem nicely.  Hope this helps.

BKirby88&nbsp;The lag between Tasks 1 &amp; 2 should be 24 days.&nbsp;&nbsp;60 days in Standard calendar equals 12 weeks. 12 weeks in Weekend calendar is 12 x 2 days = 24 days.&nbsp;=jerome@PlannersPlace&nbsp;
