HELP!
Well I thought this problem was taken care of in P6.7, but so far I’m not seeing it. I have a START MILESTONE tied to an activity by way of (FS). My milestone start on 9/15 and its successor should on 9/16, but instead it start on the same day. I’ve even gone under user preferences and set my DATE TIME to show minutes (12 hour) and adjusted the constrained milestone to start at the last minute of my 10 hr work day. Still, no luck.
Lopez,
As far as I know Milestones have zero duration and therefore any successor will start on the same day, if you want it to start your succeeding activitythe following day just put a 1 day lag.
Hi Lopezr,
Select the activity go to
View/Bottom Layout/Activity details/General tab
Select Activity type-It may be
Finish Milestone
LOE
Start Milestone
Resource dependent
WBS Summary
Now coming to ur ? when you select the Start Milestone means Activity will start on 9/15 but you can see in the duration column you cannot add any duration it will be zero. Hence if you put any kind of successor relation it will not work but instead your successor activity will start on 9/15 only. Hope the answer.
IF YOU WANT THE SUCCESSOR ACTIVITY WITH FS ON 9/16
Select the FIRST activity go to
View/Bottom Layout/Activity details/Status tab/Constraints
Select Start On Constraint with date 9/15 in the staus just above constraints and you can see the duration will be 1 day or you can change as you like.
Giving the FS relationship to the Successor activity will start once the predecessor completes ie., on 9/16.
Hope the answer.
Best of Luck.
