How IFS PSO works with base value of activities which are split into more visits? Does each visit have its own portion of base value based on the duration of the visit from the total amount of base value we've assigned to activity or visits start with the exact same amount of base value we've sent with activity?

For example scenario 1:
Actvity with 12000 base value and duration 12 hours is split into 6 visits, each visit has base value 2000 and duration 2 hours.

For example scenario 2:
Actvity with 12000 base value and duration 12 hours is split into 6 visits, each visit has base value 12000 and duration 2 hours.

Can anyone please clarify which scearios is DSE in IFS PSO using? 

Have a look at Scheduling Concepts - Split Activities, chapter Controlling behavior. If you use a single activity, it will have a base value of 12,000, visits themselves don’t show something like a sub-value, as PSO optimizes the total cost of scheduling for the activity.

You can define whether PSO is allowed to split and what the minimum split duration is (could be 2 hours in your case). There are additional parameters such as split cost. If this would be 6,000 in your case you would see a maximum of 2 visit, because a 2nd split would lead to a negative margin.

What are you ultimately trying to achieve? And is this PSO standalone or with FSM or IFS Cloud?

Thank you for your answer! I’ll have a look at the documentation you mentioned. This is PSO standalone. We are just trying to get to know the whole concept of base value to set it up in a right way.
