why my Baseline & Actual units showing different after assigning the current project as a baseline ?

This is probably the common problem around planned dates

Check out Paul Harris' explanation of the issue, and how to correct:

Dear Irfan,

The simple solution for your problem is that you need to chnage the default setting of EV calculation as follow:

admin menu ----->  admin prefrences---------> Earned value tab-----------> Earned value calculation tab-----------> change the settings to one of this option : "At Completion Values with current Dates" or "Budgeted Values With Current Dates"

 Dear, Manochehr Hosseini

Dear Irfan,

What option have you choosen there? If you choose "at completion value with current date" it should be Ok.

I tried that in many projects and it works.

If you like send the xer file to my email m.hosseini@yahoo.com. I will take a look.

Irfan,

I communicated this issue with oracle, no way to fix it with p6 for now, hopefully they consider it for future enhancement.

The only way that you have in your schedule is to divide in progress activities to 2 activity, and finished the first one on data date with a budgeted unit equal to actual, then you can assign the remaining unit to the second activity.

Hi,

Replace planned start with start and planned finish with finish.

Try the GC;

Then Planned start = start

And Next 

If Planned finish is not equal to blank

Then Planned finish = finish

And Schedule the project.

Pl share if issue persist
