Effective Date field

The date that the corresponding units/time period and rates go into effect for the resource.

Max Units/Time field

The maximum work units per time this resource can perform on all their assigned activities

For example, if the selected resource is one person, a reasonable value may be 8 hours (units) per day (duration). In this case, the Max Units/Time would be 8.00h/d, or 8 hours of work per day. Similarly, if the selected resource is a department with 5 people, then the Max Units/Time may be 40.00h/d. This means that 5 people can perform 40 hours of work per day, rather than 1 person performing 8 hours of work per day.

Price/Unit fields

The non-overtime rates expressed as a series of price per unit values for the resource as of the effective date.

The rates are used to compute resource assignment costs for activities. You can define up to five rates for a resource for a time span starting on the effective date. Your organization can define text titles for each rate type as part of enterprise data.

For example, enter 54 as a Standard Rate, 49 as an Internal Rate, and 64 as an External Rate. The application will automatically format the rates per unit of time, for example, 54/h.

Shift Start Hour field

The start time of the assigned shift.

Shift start time is a value in a shift calendar assigned to a resource in P6 Professional. If a shift calendar is assigned to a resource, then the fields in the Units and Prices detail window are disabled. If a shift calendar does not exist for a resource, this field is disabled.
