Future Period Bucket Loading on Level of Efforts, EV and ETC

Hi,

I think I am having a mental block, but cannot seem to understand how to solve it.

I have got a level of effort activity spanning a duration of approximately 13 months. I have assigned an expense resource to where I budgeted in values based on the documentation I have the distribution is lsimilar to:

November 30k

December 22k

January 0

February 235K

March 300K

Etc.....

Level of effort task is set to Duration % Complete and  Fixed Duration and Units.

WBS has box "use resource curves / future period buckets" ticked and ETC computing technique is set as PF=1.

I have tried different combinations of these settings, but with no luck.

When Scheduling a a project I get PV of 52K (Correct) and EV of 94K.

When I ran an ETC report it shows values spread evenly for the duration of activity. So instead of 535K till the end of Financial Year I get a figure of over 1M 

How can I get PV and EV to be calculated from Future Periods and ETC to show same story?

Thanks

What i have Understood from your discussion is that you need to use Financial periods for progress updation.Primavera uses Weekly/monthly span and distributes the cost evenly over that specified interval of time.If you need to show your EV with accurate figures then you must use financial periods for storing the performance.

For Planned value follow the instructions of Raymund de Laza

Hi,

I would suggest to allocate the budget in to a material resource type and assign a modified resource curve in accordance to required distribution within the duration.
