Notes:

Right-click the planned order and select Resource Requirements; note

Start Date, End Date, and Resource Hours.

Notes:

Note whether Resource Hours meet your calculated resource load.

If calculated resource load does not match resource hours, it may
be because of efficiency and utilization factors (Adjusted Resource
Hours and Touch Time). A mismatch also could occur when a plan
schedules in days and modifies the resource hours by the
calculation 24 / Total Available hours, for example 24 / 16 = 1.5.

Return to the Planner Workbench Navigator.

Highlight, and then right-click the resource in organization M1 under

item AS66311. Select Resources > Resources.
