I am progressing a schedule in P6. Activity Bars that have started before their baseline early start now have a gap between the data date line and the start of the remaining work bar. Is there a way to default the remaing work bar to start at the timeline? I have tried some of the scheduling options but none fix the problem for all the affected tasks. Any help appreciated.

    Hi Omar,

    1. Try to check your calendar assigned to these activities, if there is a Non-working.
    2. If you are trying to update (F9) and the option is in "Retained Logic" Try to check the Relationship, Predecessor if this is FF.
    3. Solution, go to view -> Bars -> Bar Settings, under the Bar Necking Setting untick the "Calendar nonwork time".

    HTH.

    Hi Omar,
    I experienced that kind of problem,if im not mistaken your scheduling option is "Retained Logic"(as Arnold previously mentioned).This can be solve by fixing your activity relationship or if you can afford to schedule it as "Progress Overide".

    Best regards,

    Hi All,

    Can someone explain in brief what is the main difference between Retain Logic, Progress Override and Actual Dates for scheduling a programme in P6?

    Cheers,

    Hi Mohsen,

    Can you tell what your solution was? I am having a similar problem and have set my Schedule option for ’progress override’. However, I still show gaps in my activity bars. If I click on the above link, it says the article is no longer there.

    Would appreciate any input you may have.

    Thanks

    All,
    The reason why activity bar show gap after entering actual from data date is because of wrong logic or wrong sequence of activities. Sometime if will be fixed by progress override if only one predecessors constraining the successor but more often not because if you trace the logic you find that the predecessor is not yet started or finish. It is common for wrong sequence of activity or successor started earlier than predecessors or to another predecessors.

    The best solution is to trace backwards your logic and correct the link or logic to remove the gap.
