Thanks Dieter,



First it didn’t help, but then I remembered that it was originally an MSP-file, then converted and worked on in Pertmaster and finally for the last 2 months in P6.



Made a copy of the programme, deleted the "secondary, doubled" WBS summaries, ran a reschedule and now only 2 warnings: 1 activity w/o pred. (start) and 1 w/o succ. (finish).



Thanks,



Bo

Bo



This is from the P6-Help: To indicate that the activity’s duration is dependent on the activities assigned to the same WBS level, select WBS Summary. (end of quotation)



You can link WBS, but the link will be ignored by the software.

You can use WBS-summary for overhead costs or resource assignments, e.g. a secretary you’ll need for construction phase; or in reports to display overhead activities instead of the summary bars.

While importing from MSP P6 automatically adds WBS summary. In general I delete them.



Hope this helps



Dieter
