Dear All,

I am facing problems updating the schedule through import command "Update Existing Project". Whenever i update my schedule, it duplicates resources by adding it in the resources thus doubling the budgeted total cost.

Kindly suggest.

    Dear Rizwan,This is happening

    Dear Rizwan,

    This is happening because your import file might have a resource with the same resource name but different resource ID. 

    If you are importing from excel to primavera, just check and verify your excel file for resource IDs against activity IDs. You can verify by using filter in excel for resource IDs.

    Razwan to prevent double

    to prevent double duplication of resources go to the projects directory 

    make sure that your project is highlighted

    then click on the resources tab

    on the lower right hand side make sure that under the resource assignments that 

    the box is NOT checked which says Resources can be assigned to the same activity more than once

     

    also during the importing of the xer file you can modify what and how you import certain elements of the xer file 

    when you get to the 6th screen that reads Update Project Options select modify

    under the Data Type Activity 

    in the Activity Resource Assignments select update existing
