Manually Set Project Task Due Date

edited Nov 28, 2019 12:24PM in Accounting / ERP 1 comment

Howdy!  We're working with Project Tasks to plan out our project work.  NetSuite's default behavior seems to require (1) Allocation %, (2) Estimated Hours of Effort, and (3) the Employee's Work calendar (ie: hrs per day available to work).  With these inputs the system arrives at a calculated Due Date. 

This doesn't work well in a lot of cases.  We have scenarios in which:

*  The End Date is fixed; it must be done by this date

*  The task may only require 10 hours of work, but will be spread inconsistently over 5 weeks

*  There may be multiple people Assigned to work on a Project Task, each with varying levels of effort.

Howdy, Stranger!
