Differing task Types

[Steve Scott]

I have an Integrated Plan with approx 20 sub-projects linked into it. I have
noticed that these plans are a mixture of Fixed Unit default task type plans
and Fixed Duration default task type plans. Is this a problem when the
Integrated plan performs its calculations?

Hello Steve,
No problem. These settings are used task by task to drive the way Project
will equilibrate the equation :
Duration x Units = Work
.... when you change one of the three members.

Hi Steve,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Not that I'm aware of. It is a task-level setting that Project takes into
account when you change the assignment of resources on that task. Should
you do so, then it could result in a recalculation of all the projects in
your integrated plan depending upon how they're linked. Ditto if you level
resources after making the changes.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on
