whenever i fix budgeted units, the original duration remains the same... why?.. lets suppose if there is an activity of 10 days and the working units are 80 Manhours. Now if i appoint a resource and budget it only 40 hours. then original duration must be changed to 5 days and must not remain to 10 days. i am confused, plz help.

Hi Kashif,
First off, that is the way it should be (the default), the duration should be fixed and the remaining units / time is normally the one that P6 calculates, it simply divide budgeted units / duration = Remaining Units / Time. Now if you want P6 to calculate the other way around you should define your duration type to 'Fixed Units/Time and then go to Edit, User Preferences and click calculations and in Resource Assingments you have two options click the bottom one where it says 'Recalculate Units, duration and Units/Time based on duration type'
Let me know if it works.
Regards,
Daniel
