(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 get this error in my schedule log and i cant determine what relationships are invalid in my plan, wondering if this is a common error in p5 and how best to fix this, any suggestions.

It happens when you have a finish milestone with a FS relationship to another finish milestone. This should be a FF relationship. Its a similar fix with start milestones etc.

it depends if it is a start milestone or a finish milestone, you have to assign corresponding relationship for start and or finish, ask yourself if it is valid to assign a FF for a start milestone?

If you have FS relationships with in the mile stones this is displayed as invalid relation ship in schedule log/report.

This is one of the cases.

Don’t worry! For milestones not all relationships are available. If an activity had a different type before you may have assigned an not allowad relation. For scheduling start or finish of a milestone is the same. Until now I never found a susequent error to this one. Just ignore it.
