The baseline functionality of the "Expand Forward" field in the PM Action screen calculates the 'Latest Finish' date based on the combination of the "Expand Forward" and "Due Date" fields. In my case, I need to exclude weekends from the "Latest Finish" date, but when generating the maintenance plan, the weekends are still being included, which is how the baseline functionality works. Is there any way to modify this or exclude weekends from the "Latest Finish" calculation?

setting expand forward days

 

Latest finish including weekends 

 

Hi ​@Chaithanya Kumar Bodula ,
I tested this in version 25R1, and it appears that weekends are being excluded from the 'Latest Finish' field as expected. Could you please check whether weekends are defined as non-working days in your calendar configuration?

When Expand forward= 4
 

Friday has been taken as the Latest Finish


When Expand Forward =5
 

Next Monday has been taken as the Latest Finish

Thanks,

Hi, Thanks for the reply ​@Nethmini Kosvinna  ,Yes weekends are defined as non-working days in your calendar configuration. But we are trying in 23R2 version to exclude weekends in “Latest Finish” and it does not work in this version. Do we need to change any other parameters to make it work ?.
