I have an activity for 22.5 days in P6 and MSP. Both have calendars that are 6X10 with Sunday non working. In P6 I get the dates 3/27/20 to 4/16/20 and in MSP 3/27/2020 to 4/24/2020.
There is a need to use the MSP plan as an overall roadmap and the detailed P6 file to feed it.
Anone have any ideas??????
Have a missed setting something in the setting in either product
it all has to do with hours, calendars and durations
why are you using factions of a day as a planning unit.
Usually frations of day are hours and are generally used for a very granular schedule like in an outage schedule
Hi Ron
How are you transferring the data from MSP to P6? Try using XerTransfer to import between MSP and P6 and see what you get. XerTransfer is an add in to Microsoft Project and you can open an XER file in Microsoft Project and save a Microsoft Project file as and XER file for import back into P6. XerTransfer will translate your calendars correctly between both platforms so if you still get the same issue after using it you can rule your calendar out as the issue. You can download a trial copy from here https://xertransfer.com/ .
As far as the date variance it could be any number of things and its hard to comment without seeing your file. Other than your calendar (most likely the culpret), the other thing to check is that your MSP file has been statused properly and there isnt any retained logic in MSP that P6 accounts for when you F9.
Happy to have a look at your file and provide comment if your interested. You can email me at [email protected] if you are interested.
Kind Regards

Hi Ron,
It looks like you’ve missed something in both tools, or there’s something else you haven’t told us.
Good luck, tom
