SS Relationship Automatic Scheduling Problem
Hello,
I'm establishing a start to start relationship between two tasks on MS Project. I'm working with a 6day/wk schedule (mon-fri). Task A starts on a thursday Im setting another task (task B) to have a SS relationship with task A + 4 days. Therefore, I would expect task B to begin on Monday. Task B has a duration of 2 days. Instead of setting task A to begin on a Monday, project is auto scheduling task A to begin on saturday and to end on tuesday. Why would this push back the end date of task A? This is ruining the whole point of having a SS relationship. In fact if I set task A have its predecessor as (TaskB)SS+3days, it also starts on Saturday. I hope I have explained this problem enough so that it makes sense. How can I fix this? Thanks! Recently graduated civil engineer here trying to not be useless at my new job! |

Well, as a novice myself I dont know if I make more damage than help by jumping in here but a few things seems odd in your description:
mon-fri seems like a 5 day/wk to me The +4 days restriction would if nothing else start task b on wednesday the week after (if you have mon-fri as workdays) It seems like you have some other constraints in play, I tried the setup you describe and the SS+4 constraint works just fine for me. |

My bad, I apologize. I meant Mon-Sat.
I wonder what other constraints might be getting in my way here |

With sat as workday you would then in a perfect world get a start of task B on tuesday
Some screenshots could help to point you in the right direction. |

Things are a bit muddled. Is Task A the predecessor to Task B? In the predecessor field for task B exactly what does it say?
If Task A is the predecessor for B and the relationship is SS+4days, then task B should begin on Tuesday not Monday. The lag counts Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday and the task starts on Tuesday.Lag (the +4 days) only counts working time. When Task A starts should have no relationship to Task B. What is the predecessor to Task A? |
