Understanding Hours Worked

Hours worked can only be exported from PeopleSoft to Primavera P6.

Hours worked is the total amount of hours for the activity ID, for all resources on that activity. They are not hours per resource, per activity.

When exporting hours worked from PeopleSoft to Primavera P6:

  • The hours worked is sent as an accumulated total amount of hours, to date, by activity ID.

  • The hours worked is an attribute of the WBS (summary level) and activity (detail level) to which it belongs.

  • When synchronizing existing projects, if the activity ID does not exist in Primavera P6, then a message is created in the synch log stating that the hours for the activity failed and the synchronization process aborted for that activity.

    The system continues synchronizing the remaining data.
