For example, you have a task that has a work budget of 50 hours - original duration 5 -10 hour days. But during a given week (5 days) the resource can only 8 hours of work per day. So in a duration of 50 hours, the resource can only generate 80% or 40 hours of work. If the task really is 50 hours of work, the duration will be 6.25 days.

Julie; Thanks for the response;
The scheduler developed the view below in P6. What are the tables in MS projects that reflect the Original Duration, Remaining Duration, Budgeted Labor Units and Remaining Labor Units and how can I create that view in MS? Also what is a quick way to assign all resources 80 % and which task type is needed to keep the duration hours the same when assigning less time to the resource? In other words the estimated time that has been provided for each activity was developed by the team with the acknowledgement that there is about 20% fat in the estimated duration. This duration was used as the basis of the estimate. In order to track actuals against cost, what is the best way to setup the resource allocation?
