Material ressource - usage at the start of task

[Ludo]

Hi,
I have the impression the following is a stupid question but I don't find
the solution by myself...

I have a ressource with type "material". Let's say this ressource is "steel"
and my project is about building a car.
The car is built on let's say 3 weeks so I would like the "steel" material
usage to change during the 3 weeks: eg: 1 ton used the 1st week, 1 ton used
the 2nd week, 1 ton used the 3rd week ==> like it is for a ressource of type
"work".

Currently, the 3 tons are allocated to the 1st day of the 3 weeks task
"build car". I checked the "accrue at" property and it is set to "prorated"
so I would expect the 3 tons to be allocated on 3 weeks rather than 1 day.

Where am I wrong ??

Thanks in advance
Ludo

Ludo,

A question is never stupid ;-)
In the Units cell of the Assign Resource dialog, in front of your material
resource, enter 1/w to say 1 ton/week
