Applying Progress to a Level of Effort Activity

In the Open Standard

Can anyone please advise.

I am trying to update the ’Actual Units’ to a Level of effort activity in P5. Units go in ok, and Remaining units & percent complete do change accordingly, but when the project is re-scheduled, Actual units go back to zero.

I have Duration Type set to ’Fixed Duration & Units’ & Percent complete type set to ’Units’. There is no curve applied to the resource.

Regards

Phil

    Phil,
    actual units and level of efforts does work in P3e. There should be a mistake.
    Some questions:
    - LoE has no fixed duration, because its duration depends from other activities, so either fixed units or fixed untis/time - but this doesn’t produce your situation.
    - Did you create correct relationships (SS then FF)?
    - Did a resource report actuals as well - via Timesheets?

    Sorry, no answer, just more questions

    Check your Project Preferences under the Calculations tab. If you are entering Actual Units manually you need to make sure that the "Recalculate Actual Units and Costs when the duration % changes" is unchecked.
