Hello - At our organization, we have team members in two locations. One set
in Michigan, the other set in California. The Michigan employees are
supposed to be on the standard calendar, the California residents are
supposed to be set up with the California calendar. We've discovered that
some of the CA employees were inadvertently set up in the enterprise resource
pool with standard calendars instead of CA calendars. As a result, when they
are scheduled for tasks, the system is scheduling them to work during times
when their office is not working. I thought that if i went into the
Enterprise Resource Pool and corrected their calendars that would fix the
problem - that did change their calendar appropriately, however, Project did
not make any adjustments to the existing schedule as a result of the
resources changed calendar. It also did not notify me that any changes
needed to be made to the schedule because resources were scheduled during
non-working days. So, I thought perhaps if I'd remove that particular
resource from the task, then add them back, this would resolve the issue.
Again - didn't work. I thought of removing the resource from the resource
sheet, then adding them back, however, this particular resource has a number
of tasks already completed in the schedule, so in order for me to remove the
resource, I'd have to do some fanagling with the tasks they've already
completed in order to be able to delete them from the resource sheet. Can
anyone else think of a way I can get the schedule to automatically udpate the
schedule based on the resources new calendar without having to perform a
number of manual tasks????
