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 you’re allowed to change percent complete type to "duration % complete" then you can do it easily by using the Global Change option in P6.



Best regards,



R. Catalan

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.
