I have assigned certain resources to activities and i plot budgeted units graphs with the data.But when the activity gets an actual finish before the early finish of the activity, the budgeted units still are shown on early dates only.My question is that when i plot the graph for forecast of budgeted quantity, primavera is including the quantities of activities that have already finished hence a wrong forecast of required quantities.What fields do i need to use to represent the correct data or do i need to change any settings???

    Hi Amit
    There is a difference between budgeted, remaining and actual units. I assume remaining units will display what you want to show.
    After an activity started, the budgeted units remain as they had been before the start.
    After an activity’s finish, actual units will show real life whereas budgeted still shows the situation before the activity’s start.
    In the "Resource Usage Profile Options" you’ll select actual and remaning units, and you’ll get what you want.
    Hope this will help.

    Hi Dieter,

    The problem here is that the graph shows remaining early units and remaining late units, which are equal to the planned start and planned finish of the activity. And the planned start and planned finish dates have been tampered by my client while updating the schedule. Now the only choice with me is to use global change to set planned dates equal to early dates but i am still not sure of the results it will have on my schedule as a whole.

    Regards

    Hi Dieter,

    I found a way to remove the budgeted units after the activities get actuals at a previous date.What i am trying to do is to run a global change where i make planned start and planned finish equal to actual start and actual finish. Since the resource allocation is distributed along planned dates and these do not change to actual dates.Hence now when i view the profile the actuals come when the activity has actually finished.I would like you to suggest if there are any pitfalls in this particular method.
    Any suggestions are welcome.

    regards
