Equipment won't Increase Work

[Andrewlevitt257]

How do I assign equipment resources to a task without increasing the work that that task takes, while still taking advantage of work resource functions like load levelling and max units, etc.?

Levelling levels work so "adding equipment without increasing the work" is somewhat contradictory.

Perhaps you could reply giving some specific numbers that you used, the results that you got and the results you wanted.

Could this not be as simple as the equipment needing to be a "material resource" and not a "work" resource? If you add the column "resource type" you should be able to change the equipment to "material" instead of "work". Not sure though.

I suspect Adam is absolutely correct on this but just to be sure I asked to see what Andrew was seeing and expecting.
