Project / Activity Dates

you don't really specify a new start date for each activity that what the logic and durations are for. Progress the activities accordingly with actual start and or finish dates and change the remaining duration if the activity is in progress and not complete. Then move the data date and re-schedule the project.

Hi everyone,

                  In my p6 software dates are not changing for particular activities according to the relation given. The calender assigned is same for all activities. Please help me with your valuable suggestions to fix this.

Which probably means that you dont have any Early Constraints set

Needs to be



SNE EQ

Nothing, all it is doing is removing any existing constraints, as in P3 an activity can only be assigned one type of constraint.

If you are trying to overrule the logic of your schedule, you will need to use Mandatory Constraints.



On the change tab of Global change



If Act Cn "SYS"



Then SNE = ’ Removes any existing constraints

MS = ES - 20





Then re-schedule

To try and phrase your question into english, is it



If

Activity ID Contains "SYS"

Then

Constrain the start to 20 days prior to the current early start ?

SNE = es + 10d





for instance

You could use a combination of activity codes and global change, if you have a lot of changes, but a well constructed schedule is by far the best option.

Thats because the activities placement in time is dictated by the logic in the schedule. If you need to impose a different start/finish, then use constraints or calendars

Isnt that what scheduling is supposed to do ?
