Planned Dates, Duration & Scheduling in P6

I seek help from the forum members on the following:

 

When I schedule P6, the non progressed activities acquire the data date as their Planned Start Date and the Original Duration also changes. I guess some setting may be wrtong, but I couldn't locate the wrong setting. Can someone please guide me?

 

Thanks in advance.

Splitting activities in P6

Hi

The normal form of splitting activities is to use the 'Suspend' and 'Resume' functions in P6. However I find that this does not work in my P6 system.

The activity does not indicate a stop and restart date in my Gantt chart.

Is there something I am doing wrong.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Planning guide for re-measured contract

Hi Friends,

Baseline Approved base on the Contract BOQ. Since its a re measured contract, monthly my quantities vary.

Please suggest me a proper way to monitor the progress, provide Plan % progress (Is it base on the Contract BOQ) then how about for the actual % progress? theres a new and deleted activities as well. I prepare the remaining quantities base on the contract BOQ however, still not accurate because of the changing quantity.

 

Hoping for response.

 

Thanking you,

Daily Qtys - P6

L
Luke Charet 👤 Member for 16 years 10 months

Morning All,

Is it possible to add daily qtys into P6. Our engineers enter daily qtys into a spreadsheet and I would like to track it in P6. I am currently focused on tracking of crushing - I update the programme weekly and P6 spreads my qty evenly as an actual however I would like to add my daily qtys manually. Not sure if you can do it and some will argue is it worth it. However it sits on the critical path and I would like to manage it more closely.

Thanks
