Start & End date not matching Scheduled in Graphical Scheduler

Question

Hi Team,
I'm a newbie to using the graphical scheduler and i've run into an issue. as shown in the attached some of my records have a mismatch between the start / end dates and the schedule start / end date. I've tried refreshing, committing etc. When I try to edit them manually I'm not allowed. It also shows a blank in the resource, however when i got into the individual work order I have a resource committed. Any ideas?

Answer

It sounds like you have two or three different issues.
1. "Start / end date" is the planned duration for the work order. Depending on the work type, (PM) it is probably set by a Planner from the Job Plan or PM application.
2. "Scheduled start / end date" is the time the work order has been scheduled to be done. Probably set by the Scheduler.
3. Depending on your role, you may or may not have privileges' to change / modify the dates in the PM or Job Plan record because it is an approved record.
4. If your resources field is blank, then it sounds like it is a PM work order that was created from a Job Plan that did not have a labor resource identified.
5. If a resource is committed to perform the work, then that could possibly been done by your scheduler / supervisor.

Graphical Scheduler and Assignment Manager is designed to accommodate several roles. In most cases, each role is focused on either planning, scheduling, dispatching or supervising. If you are a System Administrator, you should have the necessary authorization and access to make any modification to an approved work order. If not, then making changes to approved work is going to be difficult.
