Time Off - Standard Activities

Question

We have an issue when putting time off for individuals - Lets say two weeks in July.  Any assignment they are assigned doesn’t respect this time off. If just doubles the hours.  If they are mark as already having 100 utilization as being off, why does the system just add 40 hours to this any time the task is adjust or if they are assigned something new.  As people schedule for vacations it just puts them as over everywhere in the system.  Any thoughts on how to make this easier.

HelloJennifer,Based on the context provided, I understand your issue is with AdaptiveWork's resource allocation during vacation periods. Let me explain how this should work and suggest some potential solutions.According to the system design:AdaptiveWork's Resource Planning functionality should automatically adjust resource availability when time off is scheduledThe system should account for vacation periods and prevent overallocationThere are specific settings that should help manage this situation:Here are some recommendations to address your issue:Verify that "Enable Resource Planning" and "Enable Capacity Planning" settings are properly configuredUse the "Enable Resource Utilization Reporting" setting to monitor and identify overallocation issuesDouble-check that the time off is properly entered in the system as vacation periodsIf the system is still doubling hours and creating overallocation:Review how time off is being entered into the systemCheck if the resource's base calendar is properly configuredEnsure that the automatic adjustment features are enabledFunctions for Task AssignmentSystem SettingsAdditional steps you can take:Confirming all relevant resource planning settings are enabledWorking with your system administrator to verify the configurationIf the issue persists, considering reaching out to AdaptiveWork supportas this appears to be functioning differently than intended
