Just change the variation tasks into milestones to show the situation prior to the event and then set them to their as built duration to show the delay effect.
if the new activities remain in the schedule how can I asess their impact on the schedule?
As of my knowledge, after adding the delay activities into a schedule and linking them to impacted activities, then you need to compare the result with the schedule prior to impact to see the EOT.
If I dont remove the activities in the schedule and just move it to fragnet schedule and ajust the duration to its actual duration, I can not get the real EOT by comparing it with the scheule prior to impact as they are already axist in it.
The new tasks for the variation are part of the delay analysis event fragnet - they should remain in the programme but moved into the fragnet section of the event.
Code them to suit the Event Nr.
If the duration of the new tasks was first estimated the durations should be changed to the actual duration.
The progress update should then be set just before the date the event impacted.
Thanks for your response. The problem is we are at the back end of the project and this discussion related to something that happend about 5 months ago. I can asess the next updates to see what the result is.
The other problem with this asessment is, as per client request, we should use the next updated schedule for the EOT asessment. However, in the next updated schedules some activities have been adedd related to that delay in the schedule ( as new scope or variation) and impacted activities have been pushed out, but at the point of time that planners adedd that activities ( for extera grouting for equipment) there was no proper forecast for activity duration.
For EOT asessment on the next updated schedule, first I have to remove the activities for that delay ( that have been adedd as a variation or new scope of work) and then asess the real impact again. Is that right?
In fact the question is should I select the most updated schedule prior to the last start date for impacted activity or start date of impacted activity? if the it is the most updated schedule( current schedule) prior to the start date of impacted activity ( which I belive that is the case), how should be my position for arguing with client? what is my best shot?

Hi Ellie - Welcome to planning planet.
You have a classic suspension of work situation.
The simplest way to demonstrate the effect is to put non work days on a calendar and apply this to all the tasks affected by the stoppage.
Your progress update shoud be set just before the work restarted - not when it stopped - but if all the work stopped it wont make any difference.
I hope this helps.
