Global Change Resources retaining "Budgeted Units/Time"

Good Morning, I am trying to do a Global Change to change some resource Name ID's to a new set of resources.  When I do my original Duration on the Resources tab is retained but the "Budgeted Units/Time" value changes back to the default of 1.  Is it possible to preserve the duration and budgeted units/time when I change reseources?

 

Thank you in advance

Hi David,

Check your setting on User Preferences --> Calculation Tab. Make sure that "Preserve the Unit, Duration...." is tick. See below:

Hi Jose,

Usually it happens if the Material or Non-Labor or Labor resource ID is already existing on the other users P6 database but diferent resource name. If the option for import XER resource is set to Keep Existing instead of Update Existing then this will not overide the existing resources.

make sure that the duration type is set to fixed duration and units/time 

the other option is to export them to excel run your global chnage and then import them back in
