Hi Naveen,
You can have a "Planned Start" date and a "Must Finish By" date when you create a new project.
The "Must Finish By" will lead to have a negative TF if the activities passed this date.
You cant have constraints for the WBS Summary activity type but since that the WBS summary is a roll up of activities under it, then you can assign the constraints dates for these activities.
Regards,
Karim
Hi
Its been quite a while, But what I think is u would have to start your project sectors or WBS structures with a Start mile stone. That would we sufficient. Then after you pull in your programme to the required Must Finish date that is, with out giving any constraints!!!.....,,,,, then finally put the Must finish on date which in P3.0 is in the Project over view and in P5 it comes in the start itself.
The sole purpose, I think of this must finish date is to get the float in your programme from this particular date else, the programme calculates dates from the Early start which normally during the updation stages of a programme goes out of the Must Finish Date.
Hope I am right. :)
