Current Schedule has Big Variances When Compared to itself as a Baseline

APPLICATION

Primavera Version 7 SP5 (P6.7 SP5)

DATABASE

Remote concurrent/common work environment through Citrix

What is the ISSUE/PROBLEM?

One of the ten P6 Users reported that his “Copy” and “Assign Baseline” feature does not work properly. As a normal checkup procedure, he creates a baseline of the current schedule and assigned it as a baseline. Then he presses F9.

Result: There were big differences between the assigned project baseline early and finish dates. This should not happen because the current schedule is practically just being compared to itself as a Baseline. There should be no variances. Variance should be zero.
