Problem: How do I run a Global Change to set Planned Dates equal to Start/Finish Dates?
Fix:

Note: As with any Global Change, Primavera recommends that you have a current backup of your database.  As an alternative, export the project(s) out in XER format before running the Global Change.


Note:  Please be aware that the planned dates are used in many areas of the software and that changes to these dates should only be made if the impact of such a change is fully understood.  Any or all of the following fields may be affected if the planned dates are changed:



Original Duration
Baseline Start, Finish and Duration
Baseline variance fields
Earned Value.


Set up one Global Change as follows:

Then Planned Start = Start



 


Set up another Global Change as follows:



Then Planned Finish = Finish



Alternatively, a single global change can be created to change both the planned start and planned finish at the same time, as follows:



Then Planned Start = Start
And Planned Finish = Finish



View the Global Change Report to identify all affected activities.  Committing changes cannot be undone.


Note:  Finish Milestones cannot be altered for the Planned Start global change.  Start Milestones cannot be altered for the Planned Finish global change.  This is as designed, since Start and Finish Milestones do not have Planned Finish dates and Planned Start dates, respectively.
