Hi, good day,

Please can anyone help me to add the BOQ to see that I have a cost-loaded schedule and get my payment by the percentages applied to activities during prgress.

    Sorry but I do not know what BOQ stands for but what may help is by default Primavera projects are setup using Duration as the ’Percent Complete Type’. If you are updating percentages on duration based progress and want the Earned value to be calculated from this percentage then on the Project screen select the ’Calculations’ tab and tick "Recalculate Actual Units and Cost when duration % complete changes".

    Or try the following might also help

    To calculate activity, resource, and expense actuals according to the project plan, rather than hours, units, and completion percentages reported by resources, mark the Auto Compute Actuals checkbox for each resource (in the Details tab of Resource Details) or nonresource cost (in the Expenses tab of Activity Details).


    Cheers

    Thanks,

    Please note that BOQ means Bill of Quanitities and in any contract we do have the value of the contract broken down into items of the BOQ.

    To load the BOQ you can
    First set up the CBS activity From the contract items breakdown CBS - Cost Breakdown Strcuture

    Then load the CBS activities with the resource unit and cost from your BOQ.

    Then breakdown the WBS in accordance with the actual works that need to be preform. (Sometime CBS is not always WBS)

    Once this is done, then you update the WBS each month and using the EV from the WBS and update the CBS activities that loaded with the BOQ

    Never use auto-complete if you relate your earn vaule with your BOQ

    Good Luck
