Substantial Completion Date Change

In the Open Standard

Currently I'm working on a project where I review a subcontractor's P6 schedule and implement their update when I submit mine to the client. When I import their project into my machine, I hit re-calculate and their Substantial Completion date changes by a day from what they report. I do not make any changes to their schedule. I simply import and recalculate. All other dates remain the same except for a few other high level milestones which in all cases move up a day. Any ideas to why this happens? 
 
Their schedule does have multiple calendars, some that are global and others that are project. I was wondering if maybe the issue is in the global calendars but I did a fresh import into another machine that did not have existing global calendars and the same issue arose. 
 
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
 
Thanks,

    so you verified from the sub

    so you verified from the sub what their SC date was showing in their schedule you did this how via emial, pdf file, or telephone ?

    is this the first time that this has happened ?

    1. My first impression is that the default global calendars are different and this is what is throwing you off. Check this first. 

    it is impossible for the other marchine NOT to have a default global calendar one calendar has to be defined as the default global calendar. Whether the project uses the default global calendar is a different story.

    2. also during the importing process make sure to modify the import options and under action choose insert new

    also go

    Admin

    Admin Preferences

    click on the Time Periods tab and make sure thay match the subs

    8 

    40

    172

    2000

    are the defaults 

     

    3. Go to tools schedule 

    click the options tab 

    make sure that you are using the same setting for calcuate start to start lag from

     

    4. Go to tools schedule

    clikc the options tab

    at the bottom where it says Calendar for scheduling Relationship lag make sure that you are using the make setting as the sub.
