another easy solution

run a global change to

OD = OD /8
BQ = BQ /8

Hello,

The reason for this conversion is because while P3 planning base was daily, P5 is hourly.

Therefore as default any resource without unit declared in P3 will be multiplied by 8.

But this situation can be solved if you enter a resource unit in the resources window, then if you state a unit like h, hr, etc P5 during normla importation will consider that these resources are already in a hourly base and will not multiply.

This is the best solution that I can give you at this moment. I am checking the posibility to consider blank units as hourly units through modifiying the PrmConvert.ini file. If a get something I will post it here.

Regards

Miguel
