Peak Units

[rhcp]

I am see an interesting situation where peak units is displaying very high,
1,000%+ and would like to know how the tool is calculating the number. I am
assumming that it would be work/duration for that given point in time on the
task but my manual calcultion does not match the display.

e.g. work entered is 8.55h for a standard 8h day I would expect to see 168%
but it is displaying a 98,100%. Total work for the task was 68.72h for a
9day period (each 8h). Work for the time period was entered as:
8.55h 7.27h 7.27h 7.27h 7.27h 7.27h 7.27h 6h 7.27h 3.27h

The work contour is set as Flat, using Project 2007 with Server 2007 where
resources are entering time trough My Task on PWA.

Any insight to how the peak is being calculated would be of great help.

Thank you,

Thank you for your reply Trevor,

It is bad practice to assign resources to summary views and the resource was
only assigned to this task on this plan at that given time when the 98,100%
displayed. His max allocation is 100% and his underlying assignment vaule is
100%.

I'm assumming that the resource may have time entered time elsewhere in the
system. With that being said I have also reviewed in PWA what his
Availability was during the below time frame and he was not assigned to other
project at that time.

What I am interested in, is knowing what formula is being used and/or how
the tool maybe importing resource information from other plans and/or admin
timesheet and if unpublished plans also play a role.

Thank you,
rchp
