Hi Jeff,

Be specific with your question. What version of Primavera are you using? Can you explain a little bit in detail.

arnold,

yes...tnx ..im using now P3...this regards to the earned cost cumulative...lets say example...i finished updating the report for the month of july and my earned cost was 3,000,000 then here comes for the month of august i make updating and it shows me the report of earned cost for august is 3,500,000 but my previous month which was july the 3,000,000 becomes now 1,700,000 it reduces so now im loosing the report of consistency this is what the august report shows..

my question here is that why the previous month of july the earned COST reduces why its not remained as iS?

hoping for answer guys,
jeff

Hi Jeff,

My question is, are you sure you stored period performance during the month of july? if yes, then the following cause of this:

1. Maybe you edit the period performance that allows you to change historical actual data stored for Actual Quantity, Earned Quantity, Actual Cost & Earned Cost because these values can be changed during store period performance.

2. Perhaps you change the prices, changing prices after closing out an update period may result in cost variance.

3. Changing of Activity’s base calendar or resource calendar after you have stored performance data, P3 spreads the data based on the new calendar.

4. When you cut, copy or paste activities between projects, the period performance data are retained with the activity.

Hope this help.

Inform me if you find the solution or you can send your P3 files to my email at p3-fer@sixco.ae and I’ll try to solve your problem.

Thanks.
