SYMPTOMS

When opening the project worksheet, the left column of the project worksheet contains a warning for some task assignments:

clipboard_e6933794eb1a328fcaa5a33c451cfa693.png

Some effort is distributed to nonworking days and will be removed when the distribution for the item is changed. This will reduce the total effort. To retain the total effort, change the total effort or start/finish date to re-distribute the effort to working days.

REASON

This message means that planned effort is currently allocated to a period where there are no working days for the resource. This might be because the resource has been unassigned or because vacation or other nonworking days have been added. Now there are no more working days for a certain time period where previously the project manager had planned some effort.

RESOLUTION

To solve this, please lock the task and review the planning for the task assignment in question.Then save the project. If at that point in time there is still effort allocated to a period without working days, this effort will be removed and the effort for this period will be set to 0.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In case the issue persists and the warning remains despite having changed the task and saved the project:

1. Check if the project has the RollupInProgress flag set to 1

  select name, RollupLastDate, projectid, RollupInProgress from project where RollupInProgress=1 

2. If so, set it manually to 0 in the database (make sure that nobody is editing the project at that point in time).

3. Rollup the project:

  exec rollupProjectForAllBillingOffice '<fill in the projectid>'
