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.

Hi everyone,

I am using Primavera PM6 to manage the coming workload of our team.

We have about 95 projects in progress with 4 to 9 activities in each project.

My problem occurs when I open many projects at the same time, the remaining units of some tasks are offset later in timescale and when I try to change the finish date, I get this message :

"Remain Finish Date cannot be earlier than Remain Start Date."

If anybody experienced the same problem, I would appreciate your help.

Thank you

Jean D

Hi

Insert two columns

1. Early Remaining Start & 2. Early Remaining Finish.

For any Inprogress activity, ensure that Early Remaining Start < Early Remaining Finish. If not do it manually by selecting the customize date.

PS: dont forget to move data date after applying the actuals, its cause such kinda problem.

I also get this error when I have only one project open. In addition, I get another error that referes to the Remaining Start and Remaining Finish: Remaining Start cannot be Null; Remaining Finish cannot be Null.
