Splitting a P3e Schedule

Adre,

Yes you can do the same thing in P3e by creating two projects on one enterprise then open the enterprise and not just the project alone.

Hi,

The problem in P3e is, it will perform scheduling for first project as separate schedule and second one as separate schedule, eventhough u link the first one with second one.

It is accepted by Primavera and promised to perform as a single schedule in future

Hi,

Yes it’s true but you can set the data date in the Project View before scheduling to have the same data date.

Cheers,

While you are in the Dates tab in the Project view also set the Must Finish By Date for the shorter project equal to the overall project completion date. This will allow Primavera to calculate the backward pass in inter-project links correctly.
It is a bit of a workaround but it works.

Create a new programme file/stub (for want of better words!). Open both together and drag ’n’ drop the activities from the first programme into the second. Relationships will be maintained. If both need scheduling just open both together.

Emma Seaton is correct. The dragging and dropping can also be done in the WBS view. This will move the WBS level plus all sub-level and their activties into the new (or established) project.

Hi Emma and Jim,

Good day! Your suggestion works!

What i did was, copy File A to File B. At File B, i deleted all activities. Then open both files. From WBS of File A, i Cut and Paste the the EPCM portion to File B and retain FS portion from File A.

All EPCM activities were moved to File B while maintaining their inter relationships with File A.

Jim suggestions must be followed as well. A "Must Finish By" Date should be assigned from File A (or FS) so that backward pass will properly work.

Thanks to you Guy and Gal. Excellent!

Cheers Mates!
