Actual Resource Usage

Why is it that in Activity Usage Profile, P3ec does not reflect the actual hours used by a Resource. Instead it distributes the hours used equally.
As an example:
Activity "A" with Resource ID "PF" assigned:
Budgeted Units=200hrs spread equally in 4 weeks (50hrs/wk)
Act type = Task Dependent
Dur type = Fixed Dur & Units
% complete type = Physical
When progressing activity "A" using the following actual values:
Week1 = 25hrs; Week2 = 75hrs; Week3 = 40hrs & Week4 = 60hrs, the Activity Usage Profile shows an actual hours usage of 50hrs/wk (total=200hrs) as if activity ’A’ has progressed according to plan with respect to planned hrs/wk.
Are there any settings or options in P3e that I missed for me to get the correct Usage Profile.
Thanks for all the help.

Answer your question - in Version 4.1 P3e or ec or teamplay
They do not have the function of Save Period Performance
This is one of the most important function in order to print out the exact Labor Histogram + Earn Value Curves.
Forturnately , this long loss function is now available in Version 5.0 which just lanuched two weeks ago.
In order to save the period performance you need to apply the actuals then save PP just link P3
HTH
Cheers
Alex - 0Conrad Arellano ·Thanks Alex for the quick reply.
I’ve spent many nights figuring out what I’m missing. I thought that using the "Period Closeout" function, P3e will automatically record the actual resource usage.
In my opinion, this is really an important function in terms of monitoring resource loaded schedules.
Now I have a good reason to tell my PM to upgrade to the new realease :-).
Thank you again.
