S Curve From P6 Cost Integration

I am aware there is ample information out there to create an S Curve via P6 without entering total manpower for each task (I do not know how to currently do this, but will do the research to save people from having to post informaiton that is already out there). What I cant seem to find is if I can enter project cost into P6 if I don't tasks #'s assigned to each cost line item. For example, if task 10 in my schedule is "Abatement", in excel do I have to add a column that labels abatement as task 10?

Update Baseline Option

K
Kannan CP 👤 Member for 18 years

Hi,

While updating the schedule, I did some modifications in the activity relationships. In order to incorporate the same relationship changes in the Baseline Schedue (to do some analysis), I tried the Update Baseline option. I succeeded in getting the modified relationships of updated schedule to the baseline schedule. The issue is that the existing relationships of the baseline activities still remains there, and duplication of links happened.

Change Management in P6

I'm looking for a solution for a centralized "Change Management Log".  We have several PM (I'm the project controller) as well as several ongoing projects.  The problem is, even though we have a change management process each PM seems to manage change is his/her own way which in turn makes it difficult for me to manage project to project.

I'm wondering if there is any centralized log in P6 to help with this situation. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  How do you manage change on your projects and what tools to you use to keep everything organized.

J

I have a client that is looking to buy Contractor, even though it has not been updated since version 6.2.  Can anyone confirm whether the XER's created within Contractor will cleanly open in the latest versions of P6?
