    The original duration in the WBS summary bands is calculated as the following:

    Latest Planned Finish - The Earliest Planned Start.

    Project Manager uses the default Global calendar to determine the number of timeperiods based on the above calculation.

    ********************

    This means that if your project calendar and the default global calendar are not the same, you can have deviations.

    Hope this helps,

    Niek.

    Yep that’s the case.

    I don’t see how it could work any other way, because how would you treat grouped activities with multiple calendars? (not just by WBS, but also any other (combined) grouping)

    H.T.H.

    I understand and i’m agree.

    But I think that the ideal should be P5 to allows user to choose which calendar wbs consider.

    I think it’s a good idea, send email to primavera with this enhancement request and they will put it on the list.

    Cheers
