Hello all,
I have a project schedule (in P6) which already has weeks of progress % on some activities. I need to make a baseline schedule based on my "Current" schedule.
I made a copy of the schedule and link it to my current schedule following the "Maintain" and "Assign" baselines steps.
After the process, I expect the "BL Project Start" & "BL Project Finish" should equal to all the "Start" and "Finish" dates from the current porject, which turns out to be not the case.
All the 0% progress items dates are alright, but activities with % progress have different dates than the "Start" & "Finish" dates.
Can any one help to explain why Primavera does it this way and if it is correct to "Not" set the baseline dates to the current schedule "Start" and "Finish" dates.
Or give me some insight what Primavera is doing ?
Also, is there a solution ? (I am currently using user define dates to store the dates inorder to print the bars and list the "base dates")
I understarnd why the BL Early & Late Start & Finish dates would be different than the Current Schedule "Start" and "Finish" dates, but not why the "BL Project Start" & "BL Project Finish" should (not be the same).
Please comment. Thx
Ross
