IJ29814: START DATE FOR GRAPHICAL WORK WEEK RECORD IS INCORRECT ONCE CONSTRAINT IS REMOVED AND CPM IS RUN.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a constraint line is removed that connects two task and
  critcal path method (CPM) is run the placement of one of the
  task is incorrect.
  1. Create a work order with 2 child work order, for the child
  work orders add 3 task and add constraints from 10 to 20 and 20
  to 30.  Add a craft for each line, add the other needed
  information and save.
  2. Create a new Graphical Scheduler record and check the more
  information tab to confirm that the preserve scheduled start
  dates is checked.  Add the parent work order and this will bring
  in the children work orders as well as the task and all of its
  dependencies.
  3. On the Graphical View, remove the dependency between Task 10
  and Task 20 under the first child work order, right click,
  delete constraint.
  4. Move the Start Date of Task 20 under the first child
  work order so it does not begin immediately after task 10.
  5. Run CPM for All Rows.  The second child work order moved to
  beginning of first child work order and task 20
  stayed where it was moved.
  6. Repeat these steps and delete the constraint between Task
  10 and Task 20 under the second child work order.
  7. Move the Start Date of Task 20 under the second child
  work order so that it doesn't begin when task 10 ends.
  8. Run CPM on all Rows.  Instead of preserving the Start
  Date of Task 20 under the second
  child work order, it moves the Start Date to align with the
  Start Date of the Child Work Order.
  This is inconsistent with the behavior that I performed for the
  first child work order and not
  what was expected. The Start Date of Task 20 should have been
  preserved since there were no
  constraints and that checkbox was turned for the schedule.
