Hello All,
I am a fairly new user to Primavera P6, I am running a couple of schedules by using start dates and duration. Percentage complete is set to physical as the time passed on a task doesn't always reflect the amount of work completed. There is also a baseline to record the slippages. I update progress once a week to move the date line and show tasks that have been completed.
I must be doing something fundamentally wrong however, as every time I use "Update Progress", activities start adjusting their dates - activities will reset their start and end dates to match the baseline. This happens when the dateline either passes the baseline finish date or the new reforecast finish date. This is infuriatting as I then have to go through each line item (approx 200 activities!) to check if any of the dates have not reset themselves.
I have made a simplified version below:
1. Schedule made and everything is running to initial dates
2. One week passes, progress updated, everything running to inital dates
3. Schedule slips, dates are reforecast
4. Progress updated, activity "planning" reset's its finish date to that of the baseline!
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
