Actual Resource Curve not fixed?

In the Open Standard

Good day Gentlemen,

I am having difficulties trying to show an actual resource curve. It seems that every time I update the schedule, and enter new actuals for the resources, the curve changes. It seems to be taking the total actual units that I have chieved upto date and then use the resource curve assigned to it. As a result, I have an actual curve that resembles to the planned curve but with just less or more quantity.

ex:
OD = 10 days
Budgeted units = 1000 (evenly distributed)

Update: Day 2
Actual Units: 100 (100 less than the planned)

Update: Day 4
Actual Units: 400 (300 done within 2 days)

The actual resource curve will show that I have been on time and performing as planned since the beginning.


I hope this is clear enough.

Regards,
Brian

    You need to read up about "Store period performance", which will let you keep a separate value for each period rather than a to-date value which is always spread from actual start to the data date

    Where can I read on this topic?
    Would it be in the reference manual?

    Yes. "Store period performance" is what to search for

    Good day David,

    I’ve read on the "store period performance" and tried it but it still does the samething. My actual curve just takes the to-date quantiy and links it to the start of my activity regardless of the past updates.

    Hi Brian,

    This may be a solution to your problem...

    When you are showing these curves you need to select either the Activity or resource usage options (depending on what data you’re viewing) then from the data tab, select the Display Actual and Earned Value using Financial Period data check box
