| Problem: | Duration changes when importing a new project |
| Problem: | Duration is different on different machines/computers |
| Problem: | Duration is different when importing from P3 |
| Fix: | Go to Admin, Admin Preferences and look at the Time Periods tab. Make sure that the Hours/Day setting matches the setting from where the project came from. In the case of importing from P3 projects, if the planning unit is Days, then set the Time Periods to 8 Hours/Day. |
| Fix: | In P3, you are allowed to make the Original duration and Remaining duration different for Not Started activities. When they are imported into Project Management, it will set the Original duration to match the Remaining duration by design. The P3 user must either update the remaining duration to match the original, or set an actual start on that activity in order for the durations to match what is in P3 |
