IJ36494: RESOURCE BAR APPEARS IN RED WHEN THERE IS RESOURCE AVAILABLE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Resource bar appears in red when there is resource available
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1. Create a new calendar for 1 month, e.g. 1 Jan 2022 till 31
  Jan 2022 in EAGLENA Organisation
  2. Create a new 7 day shift (SHIFTA) starting on a MONDAY with
  a pattern with Start Time of 7am and end time of 3pm and 8
  hours duration for Monday to Thursday and no work on Friday,
  Saturday or Sunday
  3. Create a new 7 day shift (SHIFTB) starting on a MONDAY with
  a pattern with Start Time of 7am and end time of 3pm and 8
  hours duration for Tuesday to Friday and no work on Saturday,
  Sunday or Monday
  4. Apply both SHIFT A and SHIFT B to the calendar. You should
  see 8 hours on a Monday, 16 hours Tuesday   Thursday , and 8
  hours on Friday
  5. Pick a Labour (in EAGLENA Organisation) with a craft of CARP
  (e.g. FINLEY) and set his calendar to the one created above and
  his shift to SHIFTA
  6. Pick a Labour (in EAGLENA Organisation) with a craft of CARP
  (e.g. MURPHY) and set his calendar to the one created above and
  his shift to SHIFTB
  7. Create a new work order with a target start date in the
  month covered by the calendar, e.g. 3 Jan 2022, with a duration
  of 5 hours and a planned craft of CARP requiring 1 person for
  the 5 hours
  8. Create a new work order with a target start date in the
  month covered by the calendar, e.g. 3 Jan 2022, with a duration
  of 5 hours and a planned craft of CARP requiring 1 person for
  the 5 hours (you can duplicate the previous WO and Approve both
  work orders
  9. Open Graphical Scheduling and create a schedule for the
  calendar above, both SHIFTA and SHIFTB, for start and end dates
  for the month (1-31 Jan 2022) and restrict to dates
  10. For the work order query set up a query that will just
  display the 2 work orders you created
  11. For the Labour query set up a query that will just display
  the 2 labour records we linked the shifts to
  12. Go to the Graphical view
  13. Labour Availability should look like this for a Tuesday:
  14. Drag the first WO from Monday (3 Jan) to the Tuesday (4 Jan)
  15. Drag the second work order to Tuesday (4 Jan). The resource
  bar on the bottom should not go red. It seems the issue is that
  because a the first shift is 8 hours, anything over 8 hours
  changes the colours to red, even though the hours is less than
  available. It seems the calculation to display the hours is
  different from the calculation displaying the colours.
  
  ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR:  resource bar is red in color
  
  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:   resource bar should be blue in color
  because there is labor available to do the work
