Update progress in P6

Hi Naveen

1. Update progress is used to calculate planned percentage of completion for the project
2. Applying Actual will produce as buillt status of the project 
3. Using planned and actual % you can track the progress of the project 

Thanks Mr.Badhusa..I got it...

Hi marieta basila

You can do in two ways

 1. Using Resource Usage profile icon present below the menu bar

 2. Using Resource Assignment option,filter the resource you need to produce S-curve and then copy the same in Excel followed by  selection of graph option from XL {doing manually for S curve .}

Dear Planners,

I just wanna make sure that I understood it well, can we conclude it as:

Update progress is used to calculate planned percentage of completion for the project: which is PV.

Applying Actual will produce as buillt status of the project: which is EV.

Omer,  you have been given incorrect information.

Update Progress is used when activities are progressing on schedule.  This function directs the Project Management module to estimate progress for all activities as of the new data date you specify.   Early Starts and Early Finishes are turned into Actual Starts and Actual Finishes, as appropriate.  Remaining Durations are estimated.

Apply Actuals alludes to the process of processing timesheet hourly information to any schedule or a group of schedules.  Activities may or may not change their non-resource status, depending upon settings.

Good luck!

Dear Ronald,

Thanx for explaining and that is way I wanted to make sure that I got it right, as the phrasing is really problem some time.

Thanx again.
