Merging Activities to retain logic

Hello,

I would like to merge a repeating sequence of activities so that a single activity would have the predecessor and successor logic of the five constituent activities.  I am not concerned about retaining any conflicting activity code, WBS, calendar, or resource assignments.  The purpose is purely to consolidate 5 concurrent activities that make up each cycle of work, but retain predecessor and successor logic.

Display resource allocation cost in Euro and GBP

Hello Planners,

Working with P6 8.4 on a France / UK project, I need to display the resource daily rate and budgeted cost in Euros for the french resources and in GBP for the english ones at the same time

I mean, I cannot answer the project director's needs with the P6 functionality of displaying all the cost in Euros or GBP according to the View currency in User Preferences.

Basically, I would assign only one € resource and one GBP resource to every activity.

Progress monitoring

G
Gowhar Mir 👤 Member for 8 years 1 month

I am working on this prog that was made by someone else. I, don't assign cost or labor units to engineering activities such as submissions and approvals of materials, drawings etc because often these  activities have a lot of float so they end up messing the percentage values (as I have noted that scheduled percentage values are calculated from early start date. Hence despite having a total positive float the project lagged behind in the percentage leading to tussle with the client).

G
Gowhar Mir 👤 Member for 8 years 1 month

Hi there.

I am working on a project and I used the columns Budget at completion, Earned value cost, Planned value cost and suddenly they are showing exactly twice the data that is there in the resources tab. Any solution?

 

Thanks

Primavera 6 ver17.**

Hello Guys,

Just like to know if some of you guys experience what we experience with the latest version of P6.

We migrated from v8.4 to v17.12.2 and everything has been okay, but when we import our native .xer file and send it to a client with same version, once opened the labor and materials resources and some cost on the project went missing. We have tried this on differernet PC, different p6 project files and other clients just to check, but the end result is just the same.

Summarise milestones date

Good morning colleagues,

I have some challenge which I haven't witnessed before...

I added milestone summary in my WBS to enable users glance through the first page and understand the schedule but I just observed it wasnt effecting the date as supposed.

Example, I have summarised project approval as a finished milestone linked it to the last activity under project approval but the date remains the project start date....it happened to all.

Pls kindly advise me how to resolve this.
