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.

I am a newbie in P6 and I would like to know the differences in the following % Complete:

1. Cost % Complete
2. Duration % Complete
3. Expense Cost % Complete
4. Labor Cost % Complete
5. Labor Units % Complete
6. Material Cost % Complete
7. Units % Complete
8. Activity % Complete
9. Performance % Complete
10. Physical % Complete
11. Schedule % Complete

Do I need to provide progress to each item in updating the progress?

Ernani,
Generally it refers to Actual % complete.
1. Cost % Complete = % of Actual cost entered to activity.
2. Duration % Complete = % of Actual duration complete entered to activity
3. Expense Cost % Complete = % of Actual Expense cost entered to activity
4. Labor Cost % Complete = % of Actual Labor cost assigned to activity
5. Labor Units % Complete = % of Actual Labor complete assigned to activity
6. Material Cost % Complete = % of Actual Material Cost complete
7. Units % Complete = % of Total Actual Units (labor + non labor)
8. Activity % Complete = refers to any activity type set to activity (i.e. Duration %, Unit % and Physical % type)
9. Performance % Complete = Activity % complete with summary.
10. Physical % Complete = % of physical effort (manual input)
11. Schedule % Complete = Planned % complete based on Baseline assigned. If no baseline assign by default it use current project.

Planner are subject to progress only on the settings correspond to those Progress complete type when updating the progress. Majority of those percent complete synchronize on the settings and automatically updated except for Physical % complete type.
