IFS 10 update 11 regarding dates. I noticed that the duration on the work task originally sets the planned finish date after the planned start is entered. When you update the duration longer, the planned finish will recalculate based on that, but if you update the duration to a shorter time it does not update the planned finish. Is there a reason for that functionality or am I missing something in my data?

Duration was at 4, entered planned start date/time of 10:00 AM and it ended at 3pm with the hour of lunch calculated.

Duration changed to 20 and get a pop up which pushed out the planned finish.

When you bring back to 6 hours it doesn’t re-calculate again.

Hi,

 

Looks like the application only changes the Planned Finish value only when extending the duration, as the duration will be within the planning period. But if you delete the current Planned Finish date in the task and then update the duration to a lesser value, then it will update the Planned Finish date accordingly. If you have a specific requirement to get the planned finish date align with duration, you may raise a support case for further investigation/correction.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best Regards,

Yasanthi
