Why might my resource be over allocated
I'm just going through the schedule to level my resources, and one is showing as overallocated on one week, when he isn't. and under allocated where he isn't. I've checked to see if he had a pers...
- David,
Max unit value isn't in hours per week, it is expressed as a percent or a decimal (i.e. 100%) for each resource on the Resource Sheet. Perhaps mean that resource max unit value is 31.6/40= 0.79 (i.e. 79%)?
Change the Bottom Tier on the timescale to Days. Then look at the hours per day for that particular resource. You'll likely find a day when the resource is over the maximum.

Hi Dale
But 12.71h for the week isn't overallocated? And 59.54h definitely is (but isn't showing as so)
And that's all the activities for the individual in the project

dc_27,
What is that resource's max unit value? What is the basis for overallocation set to in your leveling options (e.g. minute by minute, hour by hour, etc.)? Is there a task calendar set for any of the task assignments for that resource?

Hi John-project
- Max Unit Value is 31.6hr per week
- I'm manually levelling rather than using levelling functionality , but in case... Levelling is Day by Day (Manual) - i have also tried clearing levelling suing that function
- No task calendars

JohnAha - and there it is
Two things though
First - not sure why it's not highlighted as overallocated when it's 50+ hrs in the week
Secondly - on the Max Units. I think it should always be hours. % is just based on something else. If it's 95% (rather than 79 as you rightly point out) it could actually be lower than 31.6 hours. Ie if the Calendar Option for the project is 30 hours per week
Is the % based on the Calendar Options for the project ? Just checking i'm understanding that correctly too - Primavera P6 background 🙂
