Cannot save a task assignment in RMW due to "The demand item is allocated on a nonworking day" error

The ability to allocate effort to nonworking days was introduced in Changepoint 2017 and is supported only in the project planning worksheet (PPW) and resource scheduling worksheet (RSW). Effort cannot be allocated to nonworking days in the resource management worksheet (RMW) or the project worksheet.

The "The demand item is allocated on a nonworking day" error appears in RMW when a demand item that has a manually distribute loading method has effort allocated to nonworking days. The manual loading method prevents the effort from being reallocated automatically.

To clear the error, you can do any of the following:

  • Manually remove the effort from the nonworking days
  • Change the task to use an auto-distribute loading method
  • Use the resource scheduling worksheet (RSW) or project planning worksheet instead (PPW)
