Correct Schedule Errors

How Do I... Correct Schedule Errors

There are three types of schedule errors:

Conflict - A Resource is scheduled for more than one job on the same date. Dates with conflicting Resource schedules are marked with a "C" the Job Schedule entry form, and listed in the Schedule Conflicts section of the Job Schedule Errors report.
No Resource - An item is scheduled with no resource. Dates with no resource scheduled are marked with "nr" in the Job Schedule entry form, and listed in the No Resources section of the Job Schedule Errors report.
Cost Not Scheduled - An item with a cost has not been scheduled. This is a problem because all items with costs appear on the Draw Schedule. If an item with a cost is not scheduled, then it will automatically be added to the first draw period, regardless of when it is completed. In order for an item to appear on the schedule, the Schedule box must be checked in the Job Edit Job Estimate form.

You can see a list of all schedule errors by printing the Job Schedule Errors report.

To correct No Resource, or Conflict schedule errors, follow these steps:

Open Job

Select a Job in the drop down list at the top of the main window.

Print Schedule Errors

Click on Schedule in the shortcut menu, then click on Print Schedule Errors to view and print a list of job schedule errors.

Right-Click Flagged Cell

To correct schedule errors, right-click on the schedule cell for the item and date with the error. This will display the Resource Schedule Update form. The Resource Schedule Update form displays a description of the schedule conflict in the "Conflict" box, and allows you to change the date and/or the Resource scheduled for that item.

Click OK

Once you have completed making changes to the resource schedule information, Click OK. This will save your changes, and re-display the Job Schedule form.

If you corrected a No Resource error, the "nr" flags should be cleared on all the schedule dates for the item you clicked.

If you corrected a Conflict error, the "C" flag should be cleared on the date for the item you clicked.
