UPDATING SUMMARY
A. Updating Tools
- Spotlight or Filter – to select activities to be updated for the period
- Format Columns – to encode statusing data on the Activity Columns
B. What to Update?
Activities
- Actual Start
- Percent Complete (or Remaining Duration)
- Actual Finish
- Optional: Suspend and Resume Dates
Resource Quantity
- Actual This Period
- To Complete
Cost
- Actual This Period
- To Complete
C. After Updating…
- Reschedule – F9
- Store Period Performance
D. Review Performance
- Project Overview – are we going to finish on time?
- S-Curve – Are we going to finish within budget?
- Layouts and Reports for Performance Review
When you put in a PCT, P3 will estimate your actual (quantity and cost) this period (ATP), actual to date (ATD), and estimate to complete (ETC).
If your ATP, ATP or ETC is different from that P3 computed, just type in your value. No need to edit the resource percent complete as this will require that you compute for this. So forget about resource percent complete.
Just follow the list above and youll be ok.
Please tell me if this doesnt work.

Do you mean that the quantity progress (actual physical) should be related to each resource seperately.example concrete progress in cubic meter is 20 out of 100,therefore 20%,do you mean I use 20% for each resource(forman,labor,rectifier..)seperatly to find overall progress of activity.
example:
forman budget for this activity is 100hrs== 1000$=>weight=0.25
labor is 200 hrs=2000$=>0.5
rectifier is 10 units==1000$=>0.25
then the qty progress is 0.2
thus 0.2x0.25
and 0.2x0.5
and 0.2x0.25
then I add the three answers to get the overall progress of the activity.
As this your idea is clear but how to enter this in Primavera?Any ideas gentlmen

Gentlemen,
There are many ways in doing this, i will share to you some;
1- First prepare your schedule as detail as you can doing it 1 resource per activity.
2. Doing your progressing or % computation in any tracking sheet i.e using excel , dbase etc. then update PCT, ETC, QTD etc.....
3. Using hierical resources i.e MH* for MH1....MH1000??? what ever is easy for you.
More Power,

Dear Friend,
I agreed with you, for input to p3, you have to specify Resource percent complete for progress of each resource.

We consider the Costs for weithing system if we have 2 or higher resources in one activity with different type of quantity.
for example:
We have 3 resource :
Supervisor 1 person with "Man-hours" type of quantity
foreman 2 person with "Man-hours" type of quantity
Rectifire 1 unit with "unit" type of quantity

Hi,
In my opinion update the % progress based on the quantity of work accomplished upon the total qty for a given activity.
If your programme is not detailed enough and if you have several resources on one activity then you assess the remaining duration to complete .

Thanks for reply.
Yes I have many resources like carpenter ,steel fixer..etc.
and another question ,when do you think we base our weights on cost( for progress purposs) and when on mhrs.

do you have more than one resource in one activity?
