The Plant Management Exception Report allows users to view late tasks that caused a negative shift in the job schedule. A task only appears on the report the following criteria is met:

• The job must be late.

• A task on the late job must be a critical path task.

• The critical path task on the job must be late.

• The late critical path task must have at least one duration change or start date change recorded on the job schedule change table.

• If the net effect of these changes has a negative impact on the overall job schedule, the task appears on the report.

• Tasks that have a duration change where the current duration is longer than its previous duration, but that does not necessarily have a negative impact on the job schedule.

• Additionally, any task that is designated a certain schedule change reason also appears on the report regardless of the criteria mentioned above.
