Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Can anyone shed some light on why occasionaly and randmly all my summary level of effort tasks show an actual start and an actual finish when they have no physical progress  recorded and none of the tasks they are spanning have actuals?  They all have logic of SS and FF so the point that level of effort tasks will show 100% complete if no logic is applied does not count in this instance.  Any advice help would be appreciated.

This would appear to be my issue one of the planners must have the "ignore relationships to and from other projects" ticked in there schedule options.

Therefore when they schedule their Lv3 plan with the summary / control plan Primavera does as it's told and ignores the links and the LoE's activities which have drivers from the other Lv3's go to zero remaining duration.
