About Task Constraints in ProjectTransit

Microsoft Project includes several task constraint types that are not supported in Changepoint PPM (As Late As Possible, Finish No Earlier Than, Finish No Later Than, Start No Earlier Than, Start No Later Than).

To handle this difference, ProjectTransit maps PPM task constraints to Microsoft Project constraints in the following ways.

Mapping Changepoint PPM Tasks to Microsoft Project Tasks:

PPM Constraint Type	Microsoft Project Constraint Type
As Soon As Possible (PPM Default constraint type)	As Soon As Possible (ASAP)
Must Start On	Must Start On (MSO)
Must Finish On	Must Finish On (MFO)
None	Start No Earlier Than <date> (<date> = PPM task Planned Start Date)

Mapping Project Tasks to PPM Tasks:

Microsoft Project Constraint Type	PPM Constraint Type
As Soon As Possible (ASAP)	As Soon As Possible
Must Start On (MSO)	Must Start On
Must Finish On (MFO)	Must Finish On
all other constraint types	None
