1. Define required unit of measure - if not yet done:
Admin --> Admin Categories --> Units of Measure --> Add ...
2. Define Resource of type Material - under Details.
3. Assign this resource to those activities youll need.
4. To have an overview and the results of your planning: View--> Show on bottom --> either Resource Usage Spread or Resource Usage Histogram. One restriction: you can just show resources with the same unit of measure in the histogram.
All I really need it to do is display how many meters we are are expecting to do each week, and be able to put in actuals throughout the project. The resource schedule looks like the ideal layout, but it edits when scheduled.
Actually there is a need to link a lot of data with these meters (physical quantities of work - physical volumes) - material requirements per each meter, cost per meter, resource productivities in meters per hour, etc. Unfortunately Primavera do not plan physical quantities of work to be done, if you need it try to find some other software. Workarounds do not help.
I think I got it now - they seem to be a little erratic though, as I would like to click on week one and assign 42 meters, then week two and assign 36 meters and so on. but when I change datesand reschedule, the usage changes.

Use the power of AI to create construction schedules that reduce risk while cutting costs and build time. With ALICE, develop the ideal schedule during preconstruction -- or recover projects that are off schedule and over budget.
If u r not getting spreadsheet in ur preview, then go to page set up --> Options --> Check on SPREADSHEET box.
KHALLAS!!!
:-)
Yep, thank you Dieter, Raviraj and Vladimir.
All sorted now... Now all I have to do is print the resource usage chart and the gantt on the same page :-)

I dont really understand your item.
P6 has the resource type "material".
1. Define required unit of measure - if not yet done:
Admin --> Admin Categories --> Units of Measure --> Add ...
2. Define Resource of type Material - under Details.
3. Assign this resource to those activities youll need.
4. To have an overview and the results of your planning: View--> Show on bottom --> either Resource Usage Spread or Resource Usage Histogram. One restriction: you can just show resources with the same unit of measure in the histogram.
Was this your question?

Thanks for your help so far too.

Shane,
Check ur resource levelling options. (Go to Tools --> Level Resources)
Uncheck theses three options:
- Automatically level resources when scheduling, AND
- Preserve scheduled early and late dates
- Level all resources
Cheers,
Rav
Thanks Raviraj,
I think I got it now - they seem to be a little erratic though, as I would like to click on week one and assign 42 meters, then week two and assign 36 meters and so on. but when I change datesand reschedule, the usage changes.
Add a resource and then add budgeted quantity. U can check Resource usage spreadsheet.
Thanks for that... Anyone i know how to do it?
Yes
