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.

I am receiving an xer for the schedule update from the Contractor. The percent complete used for progress is the Cost Percent Complete. However, when I inserted the baseline into the schedule, the values on the Cost Percent Complete changes. When i removed the baseline, the Cost Percent Complete return to its original values. Does anyone knows the reason behind this? Thanks

Hello Zoltan

Thanks for this information. I recently moved to a new P6 database and forgot to change this default setting. Cost me hours to correct. Paul Harris also published this particular setting in the Admin.

Regards Johannes
