Normally Budget quantity was based on the man-hours(budgeted). I want to include the budget qunatity also interms of materials. How Can I Show This in the P3? I have tried to load it once but then, it will add up to the budgeted man-hr, I want to have a seperate Budget for Man-Hr and Quantity of Materials and Equipment

Yes Doroteo... If you don’t mind clarifying your question "How can I show it in P3?"

Do you want to show it graphically? or do you want it in tabular form?..

Regards

Christian

Brennan,
there is such thing as the physical volume (quantity) of work. I suspect that Doroteo asked about this. Physical volume of work can be measured in different units and sometimes it is measured as the quantity of materials (concrete as an example). Different volume units are used on different activities and so what? It does not prevent to estimate the physical quantity of the work for each activity (budgeted, actual, etc.).
Of course there may be many materials that are used on each activity. It is not a problem if to show them in the different columns.
I understood the question - if it can be done in P3?
Maybe Doroteo will clarify if the question was understood.
Regards,
Vladimir

Hi Doroteo,
Yes, U can create your own calculation to get budget quantities using global change, by creating another column using custom data item.

Hi

When you define a resource you can define its unit of quanitity as well. So you can define as No/Unit/or Hrs.

Budget Manhours can be displayed in a column using custom data items.

you wouldnt bother displaying budget quantity of materials in a column due to mixed units.
