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.

Arun,

How did you update the program? Manually or some external application such as excel or SDK?

Maybe it is because WBS duration is a calculated value (*) and not a fixed entry is why it behaves in this way.

I can think of two workarounds.

Use global change and store original duration as a user defined field, in this way it will be frozen at the activity level as well as at the WBS level, verify on this as I am not a P6 user, I am applying what I recall from my previous use of P3e, P3 and SureTrak.

Store your initial job as a baseline and on updates display baseline original duration next to current schedule original duration.

Hope this helps.
