You're encouraged [migrate your existing resource plans](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QAE91u6ZAbE4khqwOvZmHw "Migrate resource plans to resource assignments and the associated cost plans to attribute-based labor costs of your projects or demands and easily work on resource allocations using Project Workspace.") to work on resource assignments which offers more flexibility and start using Resource Management Workspace.

Role required: resource_manager ## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa You can reduce an allocated or confirmed resource plan only if the resource plan's end date is later than the current date. You can reduce the duration of an operational resource plan only if its state is allocated. ## Procedimento 1. Navigate to AllResourceResource PlansAll. 2. Open a resource plan and select Reduce. Reducing the resource plan end date releases all resources by deleting resource allocations after the new end date. If no actuals are posted for the future in the resource plan, then all the allocated or confirmed hours of the resources will be released when you reduce the resource plan. If actuals are posted for the future, then the resource plan end date is updated to the future date on which actuals are present, and all allocated or confirmed hours of all the resources from the date on which actuals are present to the original end date are released. 3. Enter the new end date of the resource plan in the End date field. 4. Select Yes in the confirmation message. ## Resultado * The end date of the resource plan is updated to the new reduced end date. * The state of the resource plan remains the same. * If no actuals are posted for the future in the resource plan, all allocated or confirmed hours of the resources are released. * If actuals are posted for the future, then the resource plan end date is updated to the future date on which actuals are present, and all the allocated or confirmed hours of all the resources from the date on which actuals are present to the original end date are released. {#reduce-resource-plan__ul_vyw_r32_ppb} ## Resource allocation concerning actuals {#reduce-resource-plan__example_btv_vwn_spb} Say a resource plan was created for 1 FTE from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, and on March 1, 2021, the resource plan end date was updated to March 1, 2021. Then, all the allocated or confirmed hours of the resources on this plan between March 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, would be released. If actuals are posted for the future, for example, May 25, 2021, then the resource plan end date will be updated to May 25, 2021, and all confirmed or allocated hours between March 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 will be released. **Conceitos relacionados** * [Time zones in resource plans](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/m7xN7Pad0V2lEcwrhehO~g "Time zones are important in resource management when the users and groups doing the resource tasks are located in different locations.") **Tarefas relacionadas** * [Create a resource plan](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/tGIQ7oYhqwRM4mRA9aqFSA "You can create a resource plan from the Resource Management application for any task such as demand, project, project task, incident, problem, or change.
