update p3 schedule

[alaaalhaj]

Hi every body

I am new planner and I want to ask a question about primavera if any one have answer please advice me.

The question is when I want to update p3 some activity actually not started as in target plan so I have to change both start and finish. how can I make this revise because when I change it manually the od ( original duration) changes automatically and I don’t want to change OD . The question simply how I can update schedule using primavera p3. Please if any planner have detailed answer just tell me I really appreciate that.

I am so happy to be here

... Don't update your target... It's fixed in time. It's a target. You can't hit a moving target....

... You never change the start or finish of a task unless it's started and/or finished actually. You can change the remaining (or original) durations of the task or its predecessors so as to move the start or finish date (after you reschedule [F9]), but the whole concept of a scheduling program is that you tell it what and how long, it tells you when.
