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.

I think it’s a good idea, send email to primavera with this enhancement request and they will put it on the list.

Cheers

I understand and i’m agree.

But I think that the ideal should be P5 to allows user to choose which calendar wbs consider.

Yep that’s the case.

I don’t see how it could work any other way, because how would you treat grouped activities with multiple calendars? (not just by WBS, but also any other (combined) grouping)

H.T.H.

PRIM2849:

The original duration in the WBS summary bands is calculated as the following:

Latest Planned Finish - The Earliest Planned Start.

Project Manager uses the default Global calendar to determine the number of timeperiods based on the above calculation.

********************

This means that if your project calendar and the default global calendar are not the same, you can have deviations.

Hope this helps,

Niek.
