Without the time shown, this is not apparent. If this is not corrected, the original duration and remaining duration can be fractional. Usually, this will happen with the first activity assigned an actual start date. You need to be sure to correct this to the start time of the calendar workday, typically 8:00 AM. Sometimes, when updating progress, Primavera P6 will assign a start date time of 12:00 AM. Figure 5 – Activity dates with Time Shown The start dates should have the start time for the assigned calendar workday and the finish dates should have the finish times for the assigned calendar workday. The date columns now have the time displayed with the activity dates. Figure 4 – Project Level Date tab time settings If you’re applying a “Must Finish By” date constraint, I would set the time as the end of the calendar workday. If the schedule is an update, the Data Date should be set to the end of the calendar workday. IF the schedule is a baseline schedule, the Data Date should also be set as the start of the calendar workday. Figure 3 – Dates are now Displayed in the Project Level “Dates” tabĭepending on the hours you have set up for your calendars, you should set the time for the “Planned Project Start” as the start of the calendar workday time, most likely this is 8:00 AM. Notice the time is now displayed with the date areas in the Project level “Dates” tab. Figure 2 – Select the “Date” tab and the Time Format you like to use Then select the Dates tab and then select either 12 Hour or 24 Hour depending on how you like to see time displayed. Then go up to the Edit drop down at the top of the page. Figure 1 – Select the project and the “Date” tab Then select the Dates tab at the bottom of the page. It is easy to keep this from happening and shows you have a deeper understanding of scheduling and Primavera P6.įirst, select your project from the Projects area. This can also force fractional durations and Total Float values. It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but being sure the time and date settings for the Project Start date, Data Date, and actual activity dates are set in Primavera P6, can make the schedule report a scheduled finish date with date variance of +- a day.
