For those of you who routinely receive and/or submit P6 schedules, chances are you will eventually wind up with more Global Activity Codes that you can account for.
This is due to importing/exporting P6 schedules that are assigned to Global Activity Codes. If the Global Activity Code does not exist in your database, P6 creates a new Global Activity Code with the same name. Over time, your list of Global Activity Codes can grow to an unmanageable amount. For this reason, many project specifications prohibit schedule submittals containing Global Activity Codes.
In P6, it is exceedingly difficult to determine which Global Activity Codes are used by which Projects. In Zümmer, there is a much more efficient way to determine Global Activity Code usage. From the “Other Reports” menu, select “Global Activity Code Usage by Code/Project”, then either Preview or Print (See illustration below).
To eliminate Global Activity Code usage, open the Projects listed, and then reassign the Global Activity Code to a Project Activity Code. Later you can delete the Global Activity Codes you no longer need.
