ORIGINAL DURATIONS

[ismail Ajimir]

explain me what is the reason that, in some schedules the total original duration for the project is not reflecting the same number of days by the the differance between start and finish dates.

total duration should be = (start – finish)+1 , but showing less number of days

Dear Ismail,

This problem may arise because you assigned different calendar working hours to project than the scheduling working hours for the primavera software.

For Example : Activity A has 4 days with calendar 10 days —–> this equal 40 hours for the activity

although the default for the primavera from the admin reference says that the day contains 8 hours

so in the start and finish date you will see that the activity

Start : Day(1)

Finish : Day(5)

Duration : 5 days , instead of (4) days

you can change this form the admin preference as shown in the attached photo , and this will match the dates with the original duration.

I hope the answer is clear for you and if you have any comments or more clarification , please don’t hesitate to reply.

Thank you ,

Regards,

Mahmour Omara

thanks for your comments, but still i have the issue, say for an example if we have more than one type of calender how we can change the settings in this admin preferance

I have one trick for you. Just change the default calendar in your project to 7 working days and you should have same duration(start – finish)+1

Check this out and tell me if it works 😉
