Primary Baseline Bar not matching Baseline dates when activity does not exist in baseline
Received a complaint from a scheduler today about the way P6 is inconsistent with Baseline Bars... I understand that when no baseline is assigned planned dates are utilized but it appears when a baseline is assigned, but certain activities do not exist in that assigned baseline, that planned dates are utilized for BL Start/Finish??? The complaint is the bars are not drawn on the gantt based on the BL dates (which in reality are planned dates) for these activities.
This has lead to confusion among people reviewing the schedule. I tend to agree that this is inconsistent and there is no indication that these BL Start/Finish dates are being picked up from the Planned and not the BL.
