Time Units in Primavera P6??

Hello Planners!

I had a doubt regarding Time Units in Primavera P6.

What is the difference between Unit Format and Duration Format i have attached the screen shot of that. It would be helpful if explained with short example.p6.jpg
 
Thank you well in advance.

The next steps would be :

- define the relationships between your activities (predecessors and successors)

- Set the start date of the first activity

- Set the durations of each activities

Rajesh,

The units represents the level of effort you put on an activity ex : 4 hrs/day or 8 hrs/day.

It is basically the units that will appears on the invoice and is usually "hour"

The duration is the elapsed time since the activity was started.

For axample if you work 4 hrs/day during 5 days you have 20 hours spent (units) and 5 days elapsed (duration)

Hope this helps.

Jean
