why my Baseline & Actual units showing different after assigning the current project as a baseline ?

dear all,

i encountered with the problem which seems something unrealistic : means u update my schedule & than i made a copy the current schedule as a my baseline.

here when i am looking @ my units its showing different for past month. whereas it should be the same asplanned.

please check the attachment for reference.

thanks…... [[wysiwyg_imageupload::]]

Hi,

Replace planned start with start and planned finish with finish.

Try the GC;

 

If Planned start is not equal to blank

Then Planned start = start

And Next 

If Planned finish is not equal to blank

Then Planned finish = finish

And Schedule the project.

Pl share if issue persist

Irfan,

 

I communicated this issue with oracle, no way to fix it with p6 for now, hopefully they consider it for future enhancement.

The only way that you have in your schedule is to divide in progress activities to 2 activity, and finished the first one on data date with a budgeted unit equal to actual, then you can assign the remaining unit to the second activity.

Dear Irfan,

 

What option have you choosen there? If you choose "at completion value with current date" it should be Ok.

I tried that in many projects and it works.

If you like send the xer file to my email [email protected]. I will take a look.

Dear Irfan,

The simple solution for your problem is that you need to chnage the default setting of EV calculation as follow:

 

admin menu ----->  admin prefrences---------> Earned value tab-----------> Earned value calculation tab-----------> change the settings to one of this option : "At Completion Values with current Dates" or "Budgeted Values With Current Dates"

 

Regards,
