The user does not have the authority to run the rolling wave process. The calendar is not advancing across period end dates. Rolling Wave Calendar The following options are available when a rolling wave calendar is assigned to the project: Periods prior to status date: Use this option to enter the number of periods prior to the status date that you want to expand. The default value is 1 period prior to the status date. Periods following status date: Use this option to enter the number of periods following the status date that you want to expand. The default value is 3 periods after the status date. Update the rate sets used with FTE result codes: Use this option to update rate sets used with the result code F. This allows full-time equivalents (FTEs) to be calculated correctly when looking at sub-periods versus period data. You can update FTE rate sets even if you do not have write access to the rate file as long as you have permission to advance the calendar.
