Lag settings
I have two calendars set up one with a standard week & 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?

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.
