Assiging more than one labor of the same type
When I am assigning labor to my activity, for, say, concrete pouring, I have 5 labors that have exactly the same cost. So do I use 5 separate concrete labor assignments to that activity? So in the resource sheet I go as Concrete Labor CL1, CL2, CL3, CL4, CL5 and so on and assign them separately? Or I just have one CL resource in the resource sheet and assign that CL to the activity but in that case how do I show 5 labors will be working on it? |

It's up to you. If you have 5 Concrete laborers who all have the same rate and you don't care to track vacations, create a Concrete Laborer resource and set the max units to 500%.
If you need to say that one of the laborers is on vacation for two weeks, then setting CL1, CL2, etc is likely better. |

ok actually another question just came to my mind about this...
if you assign 500% to represent 5 labor, then doesnt it create an overallocation problem? I mean you wlil have to level resource later this way no? although you have 5 people available working, you are telling ms project as if one worker works at 500% capacity... |

One worker cannot work at 500% capacity. If you have 5 of the same resource, enter 500% in the max. units field for that resource. If you exceed 500% assignments, then the resource is overallocated.
