Primavera P6 R7.0.0 Duration Request (showing instead of Original working duration the real calendar duration)
Fri, 2012-08-10 19:07
Hello,
I have a question: If somebody helps me I will be appriciated.
Sample:
Activity Start Date: 31 August 2012
Activity Finish Date: 25 February 2013
The Primavera defined duration from the defined calendar is showing me: 145 days.
but the real calendar duration from the start date to finish date is: 179 days.
In P6 our Employer's request is to show on the schedule the real duation instead of working duration. Also in the summary of the work schedule is showing in total 750 days instead of 912 days.
Is it possible to show the real calendar duration (total days) in the summaries of the work schedule.
I will be happy, if somebody from the friends here can help me, if they had before some request like that in the past.
Thank you very much.

Dear Adnan,
In P6 Rel 7, the duration for the summary at WBS level is calculated in the following two ways:
1. If all the activities lying under a WBS follow the same calendar then the duration at the summary level is calculated based upon that calendar only.
2. If the activities lying under a WBS have different calendars assigned to them then the duration at the summary level is calculated based upon the Project's Default calendar (the one that is assigned under the Defaults tab of the Project window).
So, the only solution possible to your query is the same as suggested by Mr. Raymund before that is to create a dummy activity for every WBS and set its activity calendar as 7 days. Then mark the 7 days calendar as the Project's default calendar under the Defaults tab of the Project window.
Regards,
Kaif

Raymund,
Thank you very much for your supoort. But still the durations are showing only the working days durations. Also by total project, if you filter the critical activities and hide in "group and sort" the emtpy summaries ("hide if empty") , the duration is showing only the working duration days.

Adnan,
All Calendars are intact.... it will not be affected by making the 7 days calendar as default.
It will just show what's your requirement is.

Hi Raymund,
Thank you for your response. But to give in a big schedule for every WBS code a dummy activity is not easy. Under every group will be an empty activity. I hope my friends can find another solution in our forum.
Thank you again.

Hi,
Create a dummy activity for every WBS and set its activity calendar as 7 days.
Then mark the 7 days calendar as the default calendar and you get what you requires.
