hi to all experts,

here i am searching a way in primavera which is that how to convert my Original Duration to weight ?

Some details are here :

My manager asked me to load overall project cost only to Construction Phase. But for Engineering & Procurement phases 
you have to measure based on duration.

He wants to map the of % of completion for all 3 phases i.e. (Engineer, Procurement & Construction) separately.

Plz if anyone knows the way, kindly share with me. I will be highly obliged.

thanks in advance…..

    1) Create a zero-cost labour

    1) Create a zero-cost labour resource called "Procurement Weighting"

    2) Add this resource to all Procurement tasks, Budget units = original duration

    3) Repeat for Engineering

    4) Set up a filter for engineering, procurement & construction phases

    5) Filter the project before reporting. Use "Earned Value Labour units" to track progress for engineering & procurement phases & "Earned Value cost" for construction phase. % complete = EV/BAC

     

    NB: If you have any summary tasks or long-duration activities with little work actually being done in the engineering or procurement phases, they will skew your progress figures. Consider ommitting them from the reports by not loading them with resource

     

    Cheers,

    Irfan, I'm not sure I

    Irfan,

     

    I'm not sure I understand your problem? -All the fields you require should be available to you in the activity usage spreadsheet

    -Earned Value (cost), Earned Value (labour), Planned Value (cost), Planned Value (labour), Actual cost, Actual Labour, Remaining cost & Remaining labour 

     

    If you apply the correct filter, you should only get the results for the relevant phase
