Carry unfinished work into the next week without duplicating it

Move the same remaining task identity and retain completed units in the prior week’s record.

Close the week on actual completed units

Synthetic batch T-H has ten units. Seven complete this week and three remain. Next week has capacity for two of those units. The local tracker uses one parent task with dated allocations; moving the remainder does not create a new ten-unit batch.

Carry only the unfinished three

  1. Confirm seven completed units
  2. Retain three on same T-H
  3. Assign two next-week slots
  4. Keep one visibly unscheduled

Copying the whole ten-unit batch into next week would duplicate the completed seven; use a linked allocation rather than a new parent task.

The next-week plan has two planned units and one unplaced unit, all belonging to T-H. This week’s seven remain credited once in the historical completion record.

Next week completes its two assigned units. How many of T-H are complete and still open?

Show the worked answer

Nine complete and one open: seven plus two, out of ten.
