This article was previously published under Q137088 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, when you enter nonworking days on a resource calendar
for a resource assigned to a task, if you enter delay for the task, the
start date for this resource may be incorrectly delayed.
CAUSE
This problem occurs for example if one of the resources assigned to a task
has calendar exceptions that cause the resource to start on the task after
the task start date. If you then enter delay on the task, the resource
calendar exceptions are added to the delay, so that the resource is not
scheduled to start the task when they could. The task delay is added to the
calendar exception and behaves like a resource delay.
For example, if a resource assigned to your task has calendar exceptions
that delay the from starting the task by two days (assuming another
resource can start the task on time), if you then delay the task by two
days, the resource is not scheduled to start work on the task until two
days after the task Start date, even though these are working days for the
resource.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.
