1. Unless you do not want to have your manhour determine your durations use fixed durations and units/ per time
if you want to use earned value you have to use physical % complete or you can use duration % complete then after every update run a global change where physical % complete is greater than 0
then duration % complete = physical % complete
2.same as answer #1
3. same as answer #1
Abubaker,
Gosh, I could write a book answering your questions!
Firstly, another question. What do you want to do with expended/timesheet/actual hours? For example you estimate a job as 100 budgeted labour hours. You are 50% duration % complete. BUT you have booked 100 actual labour hours to do half of the job. Do you want to record those actual hours in P6, so that we can see a CPI of .50?
