Task Manager - Weekends

[lbawden]

In Task Manager, we are trying to set up task durations so that they skip weekends. For example, if we have the first of the month set to work day 0, then in March, a task with duration of 7 days would be due on March 10th. Currently, it is due on March 8th.

Is this possible without the use of day maps? That seems like it would be a lot of maintenance for something that should be relatively simple.

I think you can add to the holiday calendar, too

I wish I could more help but here is how we used to do it prior to it breaking. We are currently using PV630 SV101 and we set up as follows. The holiday profile can be easily uploaded and notice the weekends are identified and offset days are either skip 1 or 2 days to not count the weekends. Specific holidays would work the same. Let me clarify that this method worked for a long time and then broke for us due to an update. You could always give it a try in your sandbox to see if it works for you. We are now converting over to "Explicit Day Map" which not ideal for us either.

Thanks for the reply. We ended up using a day map since we didn't just need the end date to be postponed due to weekends, we also needed weekends to not be included in the duration altogether.
