Hi, 

I have a question, please help me. 

I revised durations in a schedule at P6 regardless of remaining units and remaining duration and submitted to HOD. 

The original budget available and duration type already defined by previous planner is fixed duration & units. 

The client asked to revise the budget and add the revised budget in P6 and then from P6 take the weekly planned budget. 

How can I revise the budget unit without changing the duration and date?

If I add the remaining units, the remaingin duration will change, so current completion date also will change. 

Please support me how to revise the budget units without affecting claimed completion dates and how to extract weekly budget unit from p6, same what we defined in excel in terms of weekly man-hour histogram????
