Baseline Types are just a method or recording effectively a note from a restricted list against a Baseline and does not affect calculations.

You need to be sure you are displaying the correct Baseline Dates and I have just posted an article on my website under technical articles titled "What Baseline Bars am I Displaying" explaining why and when P6 displays Baseline Planned Dates and not Baseline Early Start and Finish Dates as one would normally expect.

Dear Muhammad,

I think that the titles assist in categorizing the work. But Rodel might have more indepth info if the program actually is doing something else at these stages besides saving a copy of the schedule (snap shot) and giving it a title.

With kind regards,

Samer

Haresh,
Baseline type is very helpful information to specify what types of baselines are saving. Using this P6 function planner/ user can assign or specify what type of baseline as a reference.
Ex: Customer Sign-Off, Initial Plan, What–if analysis or Last Period Performance.

Planner/user can define the type of baseline in Admin-> Admin Categories-> Baseline Types tab and can assign or specify the type of baseline at Maintain Baseline.
