You are correct, Mohd.
This is a deliberate feature of the physical % complete functionality, and is in my view best planning practise.
I think if physical % complete, the remaining duration should be updated manually.
Dear Planners,
I tried to use the physical % but the remaining duration is calculated wrongly. You have to update the remaining duration which is not logic and realistic.

Nickie,
Yes, physical % complete in P6 is like the "link/unlink remaining duration and schedule percent complete" autocost rules option in P3.
If youre allowed to change percent complete type to "duration % complete" then you can do it easily by using the Global Change option in P6.

It is upto the meausement progress of your project.
If you use physical% complete that shall be calculated by progress measurement step/milestone or actual work BQ, and remaining duration is calculated by remaining BQ and current productivities rate. I think, this method is realistic than update progress by duration% complete.
