Documentation

Definition

Specifies that if there are constraints for both the start date and the finish date of an activity in the SAP system, the constraint for the start date is transfered to the MPX file.

Use

In the SAP system an activity can have constraints on both the start and finish dates.

However, in an MPX file only one constraint can be set per activity.

You use this indicator to decide that a constraint on the start date is more important than a constraint on the finish date.

Note

Since the constraints Finish from confirmation and Start from resource planning are not defined in MPX format, they are ignored for the transfer to a MPX file.

If one of the dates does not have a constraint, this indicator is not relevant.
