Question about Resource management allocation in project and project tasks

[albertomelero]

Hello,

if I have a resource plan which i've created on a demand and it was moved to a project creating a project, now I have a resource plan in the project (silly, but that is .

But, what's the matter if I want to assign the resources to the new project tasks that I've created when I was modeling the project?. I mean, if I have, e.g a resource with 40 ours assigned (hard) to a project in one week, and I create (because I need to create another R.Plan to the new project tasks, don't I ? ) another Resource plan to the new project task, it would mean that I have an overbooked of 40hours (40+40) for this resource.

I don't know if I am clear, but is there any way to do this without having "80" hours booked for this resource.

Many thanks in advance,!!!!

wiki article talks about Over Allocations is allowed, but not to exceed 24 hrs Resource allocation

Are you asking if you need to create a Resource Plan against project tasks after a Resource Plan is created for a Demand and carried to that project? No, you do not need to create another RPLN for that project/project tasks. It's currently meant to be at the more general level for planning. However, if you are looking for easy estimating & tracking at the task level, in the Project Schedule you may want to leverage 'Assigned to' plus the 'Planned' fields like 'Planned Effort'. Then compare that against the actuals for better future forecasting.
