Dear P6 experts,

Acttualy, our consultant dont get the same schedule % complete on his programme,

We took an example for one WBS level, activities have the same activity % complete, same expenses, but we don't get the same schedule % complete on the WBS Level?? My % complete is the same aas the manual calculation.

So the question is, Why his schedule % diffrent ? where is the problem?

 

Thank you all in advance.

Ahmed:

I reviewed how %Schedule and %Performance is calculated.

%Schedule at WBS level is related to your Baseline.

Manochehr wrote "Schedule %Complete at WBS level is calculated = PV/BAC "

PV is Planned Value Cost, related to your Baseline. If you don't have any Baseline assigned, it will take your current project dates as the Baseline. Maybe your subcontractor and you have <> Baselines.

%Performance is related  EV/BAC  (EV of your current project) 

Review all these fields in both schedules

Dears Ross/Manochehr,

As I know WBS WBS Schedule or Performance %=sum of activities %*Acti $/WBS $ Right?

As I said besfore, we have the same activity % complete, activities expenses, How can be the Summary % different?

Are there any preferences on P6 to change the Schedule/Performance % complete on the summary?

Sorry, I didn't answer you yesterday!

Check the following fields in your schedule and your subcontractor's:

  • Original Duration
  • Remaining Duration

Remember that Duration % Complete = (Original Duration – Remaining Duration) / (Original Duration)

Let me know,

Ahmed,

Schedule percent complete formula is different for Activities and WBS :

P6 use below formula for activity level: 

Schedule % Complete = ( [Data Date] – [BaslineStart] ) / ( [Baseline Finish] – [Baseline Start] )

and below one for WBS level: 

Schedule % Complete = PV / BAC 
 
if you have assigned any curves for the resources or there be changes in the calendars it will affect the figures in WBS level.
