Manhours and BOQ (Resource) Assignment

Ali,

The subjects you are asking is nearly all course content of PM-102. The course book is hundreds pages.

If you are migrating from P3 you need to study because; Duration Types, % Types, Baselining, Export&Import and reporting (Especially reporting) are quite different and complicated from P3 in first glance.

My recommendation is take at least PM-102 (3 day course) in order to familiarize with software.

Thanks Safak, I have already gone through P6 102 & 106 courses.

This query popped up because while I assign manhours & qty the default unit/time and budget unit time shown in % is this ok?

Thanks,

Ali

Ali,

As far as I understand you want to have basic setup as P3:

- Actual to date = % * BQ

- Link remaining duration with % complete.

So when you enter % of activities after scheduling you can have actual values equals to earned values. Also having single earned value / Baseline S-Curves.

You should use Fixed Duration & Units and also make Duration % same as Units % (or you can update Actual QTY as BQ * % Duration). This will give you earned values and zero variance remaining quantities that you can have S-Curves projections in earned values and monitor SV. Be informed that this way you cannot monitor CV.

I hope I understand your need and help it.

Thanks Safak, More response please.

Ali,

I think I do not understand your questions. I am not thinking that you are asking about; “from which menus or items you are going to assign resources change calendars and export loadings at P6”.

Sorry I cannot help you.

Look for Converting P3 Projects to P6 chapter in the following reference, it might be of help.

In particular page 123: Verify each resource’s unit of measure in P3 and how it will convert to the PM module.

Thank you. My question was where to assign them in P6 under different resource category of same type of resource i.e. labor I have to assign budgeted manhours and quantity of each activity. Later extract progress and earned value & quantity.
