Hello Ross,
And sorry for late reply... life is not always simple, and we only have 24hours/days.
Regarding your project,
1- In PROJECT view, create a new Project by "Add" under the appropriate EPS level (where you already have your original project) ; change the project IDs (the original one in OLD for ex. and give to the new one the correct Project ID.
2- For this new project (still umpty), change the Planned Date and Data Date ; these two dates should be the same as for the original project.
3- Open both of them
4- In WBS view, select all WBS elements of the original project, and do a Cut/Paste in the new one. That permits not to loose links you could have with other projects.
5- You can then select EV Technics for each WBS elements (and check also ETC Calculation ; during MSP transfer, we encounter same problems for this field as well).
6- Do not forget then to transfer baselines that you have on the original project under the new one.
That should work then.... Good Luck.

Hi Ross,
I am talking about price/unit should not equal to zero because Im thinking that your problem is about the performance % complete doesnt roll up in the summary. Now I know your problem is about the Earned Value Labor Units. Okey..
Did you update your schedule to the New Data Date and put some percentage in your Performance % Complete?
Try to check your Project Detail under Calculation Tab, mark the checkbox next to "Recalculate Actual Units and Cost when duration % complete changes". Make sure also that your Duration Type must be "Fixed Duration & Units".
Or maybe you can send me snapshot to my email [email protected]

Hi Arnold,
To test the sugegstion, I made a copy of the schedule and deleted everything but two activities. Removed any base line schedule reference, so there is only the "Current schedule" to deal with.
I checked the resources Price/Unit from the "resources" tab. Using two different resources, and both are set to 1.0CA$/h effective 01-Jan-2007
Then recalculated assignment cost from Tool menu to update.
The "Earn Value labor Units" still shown 0 hrs after this exercise.

Hi Ross,
Make sure that all Resources Price/Unit is not equal to Zero, for BOTH Current & Baseline Programme (if there is). Otherwise, the problem still remain unsolve.
HTH.
Arnold
Hi, Arnold,
Soory for taking so long to reply.
I checked this patricular schedules setting again. The price/unit is already set to 1.0.
Still no difference to the problem on hand.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Ross
Hi Ross,
Performance % complete is related to money. Even though you have allocated the resources to each activities with Budgeted Labor Quantity without setting the price/unit.
In order to have the value in performance % complete not equal to zero during progress try to set the price/unit equal to 1 or whatever.
Just try this and see what happen.
HTH.
Arnold
Did it work?
Hi Pat,
Thanks very much for your suggestion. I just checked with the sub-C who first set up that schedule.
You are right on!! It was first created in MSP and then imported to P5.

Hello Ross,
Regarding this specific project that causes troubles with EV Technics, is it a project that you created directly in Primavera, or did you make a transfer from MS Project ?
We encounter this problem => EV technic and also ETC calculation formula that you cannot select when the original project was imported from MSP.
The way in that case is to create a new head of project, to transfer all the WBS elements under this new one, and then also the existing baselines.
Good luck.
Patricia
