Hi All,
I have a strange problem in P6 related to rebaselining the schedule using the current actual status as basis.
Following example illustrates the problem:
At data date planned percent complete for BL rev 0 = 50%, and actual percent complete = 30%.
While rebaselining, we decided to keep the BL 0 finish date, but would like to have P6 to re-distribute the remaining 70% of budgeted cost on the remaining 50% of the duration !
I would expect to see the new BL rev 1 with Schedule % (planned percent) complete = 30%, But P6 keeps displaying Sch % to be 50% because it still uses the duration % as basis !!
Anybody has had similar experience & has a possible workaround ?
Thanks
Sue
Hi Andrew,
Somehow I can't view the snapshots you have attached. Could you please email me the solution at [email protected]
Thanks

Hi Susan.
That's how Primavera Calculates Scheduled Percent completion to date:
The Schedule % Complete specifies how much of the activity’s original duration
has been completed so far based on the baseline dates.
PV = BAC * Schedule % Complete
You can slightly shape the distribution using the resource loading curves but if you need the precise % on certain date - the only way I used is Future Buckets. Basically you have to manually distribute the units across timeframe:
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:859:]]
Then select to use future periods under WBS
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:860:]]
Now it's ready - you can attach it as new baseline. Here is my example:
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:861:]]
Hope it was helpful.
Regards,
Andrew
