Dear all,

I'm currently using live programme(may add/remove activities follow site situation on monthly update basis) for status update with submission programme as baseline. However when doing statusing, the summary does not capture the performance % complete for new added activity with status. 

Then i tried to restore the baseline and reupdate the new added activity, and it does reflect in the summary level

can anyone help on this as i must put the submission programme as baseline?

 

Regards,

Kai Pyn

    You have 2 options:

    1) When adding new activities to the live programme, add them to the submission baseline as well.

    2) Use the WBS milestones option to calculate performance percent complete (admin > admin preferences > earned value > "Use WBS Milestones"

    Are you using the Physical %?

    Are you using the Physical %? and Is the Activity % complete is base on activity steps? If so, then you need to load a resource with cost.

    When you have "Baseline Program" assign to your current program, Performance percent complete will compute the percentage base on baseline cost, if you have no same activity with same cost in baseline program, P6 unable to calculate the percentage. This give your current result.

    As what Gary proposed, you have to add the additional activity with resource to the baseline as well. You might category this additional activity in your baseline program using WBS or Activity Code for your easy reference later.

    Pyn;

    If you just want to know your actual status, just change your project baseline to "Current Project" (Go to Project Tab>Assign baseline>Project Baseline). By using this you cannot use your schedule percent complete because it calculate the date base on floating date (shiftable date).
