Tracking Revenue & Dealing with Changes

In the Open Standard

Hi,

 

Currently we track revenue [what we can claim from the client] by assigning a  value loaded Non-Labour Resource to each activity, this is fine for measuring individual values per activity, but for overheads [Security/Welfare etc..] we assign them to a WBS Summary bar.

Now my question is, if we had a project that lasted 10 days, and the Value is £10 per day, today is day 5 and I have updated the schedule and we have claimed £50 but now we have a delay and the project is going to take another 7 days [so an extension of 2 days].

When I now update the project the Actual Cost [what we should & have claimed] will now drop and the remaining cost will rise, but obviously we have already claimed 50% so how do I get primavera to stand its ground on the actuals?

 

Thanks

 

Harry

    Harry,If it is not

    Harry,

    If it is not scheduling...it  should not go in schedule.

    Do it in Excel.

     

    My two cents.

    HarryIMHO your claim

    Harry

    IMHO your claim terminated the activity. The new delay should lead to a new activity. It's difficult to mix planning and accounting. They are different.

    Regards

    Thanks for the replies it just confirms what I was thinking. I said to management that its [P6] not designed for this but they were adamant that I give it a try.
