Gent,
We use P5 for our projects.
I have inherited a schedule which has the problem of not calculating the “Earn Labor Unit”.
The following are observed …
(1) “Performance % Complete” are all 0%.
(2) “Activity % Complete Type” are all set at “Physical % Complete”.
(3) Technique for Computing Performance % Complete is not “checked”
(4) “Duration Type” are set as “Fixed Duration and Units”
(5) Each activity has a resource assignment and each resource has a budgeted man-hour.
(6) No Baseline Schedule is attached to this schedule, therefore, the “Project Baseline” and “Primary Baseline” are all set as the “Current Project”.
I have tried the following …
(1) In the WBS, “Earn Value” tab, checked the “Technique for Computing Performance % Complete” to equal to “Activity % Complete”.
(2) I then updated the “Physical % Complete” of some activities. However, the “Performance % Complete” for each individual activity was not updated to its “Activity % Complete” as a result. ( I can see that from listing the columns.)
If I close the schedule and reopen it again, the setting in the WBS, “Earn Value” tab remained. However, if I log off from Primavera all together, and then sign in again and open the schedule in question, the setting in WBS, “Earn Value” tab were not saved – ie., it is now shown as "None checked off".
I have other schedules in used for other projects and I have not encountered the same problem.
It seems that the “Technique for Computing Performance % Complete” keeps resetting itself to blank (after log-off and re-log-in) is at least part of the problem.
However, I can’t find where I can fix this “resetting” problem.
I also tried deleting all activities and re-enter new ones. Same result.
Am I missing something here ? Any idea ??
Thx.
Ross
