Progress checking as Physical

Hi,

I have a problem in the progress checking in P6.  I have selected the physical progress and duration type as fixed duration & units.

After updating an activity with 50% progress, the peformance percentage of the activity can be calculated with EV method. but the problem is, if i change the finish date of the activity (based on site forecast), by keeping the same data date, the actual labour units will turn to zero, accordingly the actual labour cost. But still the physical progress of 50% and EV calculation remains the same. How to keep the actual labour units as it is even with the change in finish date. because of this actual and remaining cost column is affected.

Please advise, if i miss something to make it correct.

Thanks

Kannan

Hi,

At Project level (Calculation Tab) uncheck the Recalculated actual unit and cost when duration % changes

Hi Kannan

Maybe i can help you. I am not sure that i understand you question. 

As you would like the budgeted units and the actual units to remain the same during updating then you select fixed durations and fixed units.When you update the schedule, using physical percentage complete type, you use the following procedure:

  • Leave the data date as is
  • Set the spotlight to the new data date
  • Fill the check box for the start of the activities and set the exact start date.
  • Note the physical percentage complete if not 100 %
  • Note the remaining duration of the activity
  • If 100% complete note the exact finish date

This has to be done for every activity. When this is completed, set the new date for the data date and hit the F9 and schedule.

So now the schedule has been updated and you can now run analysis you see fit. Suggest to compare the scheduled % complete versus the performance % completion and the schedule variance versus the assigned baseline.

Trust this helps

Regards Johannes
