Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear Sir,

I am in a very tragic situation with the schedule tracking with regards to the remaining early start date. In my schedule the remaining start for certain activity shows equal to data date. But as per the pratical situation at site, the actvity will not be done on this date.

  • Activity - footing concrete % complete (duration) is 88%, remaining start is 1st June 12 (datadate) and remaining duration is 2 days.
  • Actually at site we need another 15 days to complete the activity, it should show an end date of 17th june,
  • if I change the remaining duration, the % complete changes.
  • Is there anyway I can keep the end date as 17th june without altering the % complete, please help.

Thnaks in advance

Sridevi

Sridevi,

 

Change the % complete type to physical. Then when you ammend the remaining duration, the % complete will not be adjusted.

Best practise is to use physical % complete by default for all activities, and only to use duration % complete when there is a direct relationship between % complete and remaining duration (which is rare).

 

Cheers,
