In the Open Standard

Gents,

I’m facing a problem while updating the actual resource units to an in progress activity in Primavera Ver 5.0. When ever I’m ’Scheduling’ the actual unit is either showing ZERO or going back to the previous period update actual value. I didn’t store period performance last time.

Example : ’ENWP51079 - Fabrication of Intermediate Tank’ has 2748 manhours as budget. Last update was 69 hrs and this time I want to change to 499 hrs. I keyed in the actual this period hrs. When scheduling The actual is going back to 69 hrs.

Please help.
Regards
Dinesh

    There are many settings in P5.
    I am not sure the Types you select in the general tab for ‘’Duration Type’’ and ‘’Percentage Complete Type’’.

    Dinesh,

    Then it should be correct.

    I think the other thing you have to see is the ‘’ At completion unites’’ some times that will differ.
    What I do is I open all under mentioned columns in Resource tab.

    Budgeted units-Remaining units-Actual unites- At completion Units-unit percentage complete
    Budgeted cost- Remaining Cost - Actual Cost

    Before updating, make actual cost to Zero and see the units. Units should be same in the Budgeted, remaining and At completion. If not adjust it to budgeted units.
    Then enter the Actual units (or units percentage complete)

    Try this and see.

    Dinesh,

    Same time check whether you selected any curve for the resource.
    Then I think P5 is not allowing you to enter actuals in your settings. When you schedule, it will come to the same units what you had earlier.
    Take the curve selection out.

    Try this also and see.

    Regards,

    wasantha
