Good morning, 

 

 

i have problem when primavera 6.7 calculate the duration at summary level -wbs

as i have to change admin preference - time period

and this affect other projects

how can we let  primavera calculate duration at WBS level  for each project according to project's calendar

as example now - wbs first activity start on 2-Nov

last activity finish 2-dec

so duration should be 30 days

but it shows only 10 days

i don’t know how

hi, all

    When P6v7 calculate the duration of a WBS element, if all the activities under this WBS element are useing the same calendar, P6v7 will use this calendar. if not, p6v7 will use the default calenar.

Best Regards

check your assigned global calendar

p6 summary duration are based on global calendar (not project)
