Copying and Pasting a workplan into the master

[vidita]

Hi,
I am trying to do the following:
I am copying and pasting about 300 lines from one workplan to another.
The master plan has 17,000 hours and when I was trying to copy and
paste the 300 lines from a new plan (lets call it plan A) into the
master, I am loosing 1,500 hours. When I did a contrast of the master
before and after the pasting, I notice that it messes up the hours on
certain resources on only certain deliverables.
Could you please advise what the issue could be? Plan A was created by
another team member, so is it something in his settings that making me
loose the resources and the hours?
Thanks,
Vidita.

Without actually looking at both plans, it's hard to say. Maybe he's assigned resources to summary tasks and you didn't copy a summary task; maybe he's got specific settings in the resource calendars, task calendars, or project calendars; maybe the tasks are fixed durations and the resources in one project have Maximum units established.

Why don't you open PlanA copy and paste it into a blank plan? If the blank plan matches PlanA then you know you are picking up all the appropriate information. If they don't ... well, we can deal with that later.
