Dear All,
Thanks for your help. I also tried admin settings and any other setting of the software but seems like there is no solution for my problem. In my opinion P6 has some annoying and peculiar new featues full of nonsense. Of course there are so many improvements (interface, ease of command, works faster, better reports etc.) but some features cause problems. For example if you are working on several projects on several diffrent countries (for instance you may have construction projects on Russia and on UAE at the same time) you come across with the calendar problem. In Russia you set Sundays as holidays not Fridays like UAE and also in UAE you have to set your working hours like 7-12 15-19 or something like that which is different from other locations. So you have to assign different calendars for each project. Also there is this global calendar nonsense which might be totally different from these project calendars. And in a situation like this you have strange summary total durations on WBS items.
I just want to stop P6 calculating hours which is very impractical for construction planning :)
Regards,
Ahmet
dear ahmet
al alab is correct. the settings in the admin preferences, user preferences and the calendar that you are using should be the same. ie 10 working hours per day should be applied in the admin, user and calendar. dont use 6 hours (in ramadan) in your calendar as it will affect your schedule.
there is no solution.
there are two methods for alert: -
1. De-link Duration % and remaining calculation
2. Display decimal, if any demical place not is zero, "hour" come back
For Plan Plan,
What is the working hour of the calendar assigned to activities
Mine Works Fine
Below setting User Preferances
Time Units
Unit of Time = Day
Duration Format
Unit of Time = day
Hours Per Time Period
Hours/day = 24
Hours/Week = 168
Hours/Month = 722
Hours/Year = 8760
Remember if you enter data as Hours it will be converted to day when you switch over etc.
Dear Ahmet
I don’t think this is possible
You have to accept what ever in primavera p6
The solution to your problem is to match working hours in calendar with Admin preference working hours
After create your default calendar
Go to admin …….. admin preference …………… Time periods
Please let mo know if you want something else or more elaboration
