IJ21981: GRAPHICAL SCHEDULING LOAD SPREAD SHOWS LARGE USAGE ON LAST SHIFT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When one task is interruptible the resource load on it should
  still be spread evenly across the interrupted shifts.    But it
  is not, the first few days will have one value and the last day
  will have a much larger percentage of the load.   For example
  on a task of 32 hours being interrupted on an 8 hour per day
  shift with Planned Labor of 1, days 1, 2 and 3 might have 6
  each and day 4 might have 14 where it should be that each day
  has 8.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Set the skd.laborHours.spreadAcrossTask system Property to 1
  and do a Live Refresh.
  2. Create 4 Shifts
  - Week - 7 days in Pattern, Starting Sunday, works Mon-Friday
  10 hours per day from 7am to 5pm
  - Shift1 - 7 days in Pattern, Starting Sunday, works everyday
  for 8 hours from Midnight to 8am
  - Shift2 - 7 days in Pattern, Starting Sunday, works everyday
  for 8 hours from 8am to 4pm
  - Shift3 - 7 days in Pattern, Starting Sunday, works everyday
  for 8 hours from 4pm to Midnight
  3. Create a Calendar for one year long and apply the 4 new
  shifts to it.
  4. Create a new Craft, name it CRAFTW,with 2 Labor on it.
  Assign the new Calendar and the Shift Week to one Labor and the
  new Calendar and one of the other shifts to the other Labor.
  5. Create another new Craft, call it CRAFTS, with several Labor
  on it.   Assign the new Calendar and different shifts to each
  one.
  6. Create a Work Order with 2 Tasks
   - One of the tasks will be interruptible at WEEK shift and
  have Duration of 40.  For that task add Planned Labor of CRAFTW.
   - The other task will not be interruptible.   Duration 178.
  Planned Labor of CRAFTS.
  7. Create a new schedule in Graphical Scheduling record the new
  Calendar, all 4 Shifts, duration of 60 days and a Query that
  load the Work Order created above.
  8. Click on  the Graphical View tab.
  
  RESULTS:
  In the resource section, you will notice that CRAFTS is spread
  across the 4 shifts.
  The problem is that CRAFTW is not spread evenly and on the last
  day of your work
  order that will be overbooked with a much larger value than the
  earlier days.
  
  EXPECTED RESULT: The spread against the Interruptible by shift
  task with CRAFTW should split evenly according to the load as
  the non-interruptible task does.
  There should not be a larger value on the last day.
  
  REPORTED IN VERSION:
  7.6.1.1 with IFix 003  - reproduced in this version in house.
