Dear Colleagues,
recently i joined a new company as a planning engineer. i was assigned to handle a project originally established by P6 version 7.0.
my company currently using a licensed P6 version 6.0 so i had to import the project XER file from version 7 to version 6.
after importing was successful. i found out a massive negative floats. i cross checked all activities relationship, calendars, duration type, activity type and every single parameter which may be responsible for the issue but all was as same as the schedule in version 7.
the weird thing that some of the activities are not driven by any of their successors.
even i made a user defined field to calculate the float with hours and i figured out some of it are not divisible to 8 hours taking into consideration that assigned calendar is 5 working day/week, 8 hours/day
i am done trying to solve the issue as i did the exercise several times using different versions of P6.0 but all were useless and time consuming as well.
if any one encountered the same and manage to solve. the advice will be much appreciated.
thanx,
