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.

PRIMAVERA v6.7 Completing Tasks When Performing Updates with Data Line

Hi,

I have been experiencing this problem for a while now and have not found the solution.

 

When I perform the updates to the schedule:

 

Select New "Data Date", and then Apply

Some activities that should still be in progress seems to have been completed automatically. 

And it is completed on a past date.

 

This is a big problem as I have to go and check all the activities after the update and when busy with a large program this is not very good for business.

 

Does anyone have this problem, do you have a solution?

 

Thank you

When you say activities that "should still be in progress", what do you mean?

 

The update progress option tells Primavera to apply progress to all selected activities as if progress between the previous and new data dates has happened precisely according to the current plan.

 

So long as you have hit F9 before you use the update progress function, none of the dates should change.

 

Personally I think the whole idea of using update progress is dangerous. -I have never worked on a project where everything has gone precisely to plan from one update to the next.
