Doing schedule update through import "Update Existing Project"

Dear All,

I am facing problems updating the schedule through import command "Update Existing Project". Whenever i update my schedule, it duplicates resources by adding it in the resources thus doubling the budgeted total cost.

Kindly suggest.

Razwan 

to prevent double duplication of resources go to the projects directory 

make sure that your project is highlighted

then click on the resources tab

on the lower right hand side make sure that under the resource assignments that 

the box is NOT checked which says Resources can be assigned to the same activity more than once

 

also during the importing of the xer file you can modify what and how you import certain elements of the xer file 

when you get to the 6th screen that reads Update Project Options select modify

under the Data Type Activity 

in the Activity Resource Assignments select update existing

Dear Rizwan,

This is happening because your import file might have a resource with the same resource name but different resource ID. 

If you are importing from excel to primavera, just check and verify your excel file for resource IDs against activity IDs. You can verify by using filter in excel for resource IDs.
