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.

When we revising the baseline how we can make earned labour units equal to palnned labour and to bring remaining units as the remaining of earned hours to earn.

My reference is to P3, where, when we have actual data; planned data was getting converted to actuals and the remaining was continuous to what we earned till completion.

Daniel, Thanks for the reply

 

Even after giving the actual dates and re baselining, P6 is considering the Original early start / finish dates to calculate the planned labor units; it is not considering the actual start date.

  •  To prove this I did following example
  •  Original early start- 10 May
  •  Original Early  Finish- 03 June
  •  Budgeted labor units- 1000
  •  Actual start- 20 May
  •  Actual Physical %- 10%
  •  Manually update actual units as 100 and remaining as 900 as I couldn’t find an option to get it calculated automatically from physical %.
  •  Rescheduled with new data date- 25 May.

 

And observed the following

  •  Planned cumulative as on data date- 600 ( Should have been 100)
  •  Earned- 100

 

 My requirement is, to get a curve from P6  showing earned value till data date and values planned for the upcoming weeks / estimate at completion till end date ( Remaining units should be equal to  Budgeted units minus Earned units, and P6 should calculate it automatically, even if we don’t  update actual units manually)

Abilash,

When doing a re-baseline programme, first you need to get approval from the Engineer.  2nd you need to ask why you need to rebaseline? Did the original access, sequence, methodology or logic change? or is it a delay recovery measure? if so, then what new measures or strategy will you propose in order to recover the delay?

When doing a rebaseline, you obviously need to discard your original baseline and make your current progamme as your baseline, the actuals or as-built data then becomes your plan upto your last cut-off date and then do your changes in the remaining activities. Once you get approval from the Engineer, this now becomes you new baseline programme.

Good luck,

Daniel
