hi I have a problem in primavera
I need to put a weight for each activity
the weight is combined of resourses and cost
but I dont have any recorses or cost
in other word each activity have a specific weight so the hole project will be 100 %
I can add a field named weight but i need it to be changed with the persent complete
so if 50 percent of some activity that weighted 1.8
the remaining weight will be .9
and the perpous of the use of it is to calculate the money we should pay every month to the contractor
I know that look stupid you will tell me to define a resorces and there cost and we will have the cost
BUT
that how the boss wont it

Oldest first- 0Karim Mounir ·You can make a dummy resource (for example called "activity days"), then assign all of your activities with this resource.
The BQ of this resource will be equal to the OD of each activity.
After that when u update your schedule, the actual units will be updated automatically which will give u the overall actual progress % (u can generate a tabular report for this). - 0Prabin Kumar ·In my opinion , you should add a resources called ’weight value’ to your project. The BQ for any perticular activity will be same as ( or multiple of any constant like 100, 1000,.. etc as per your convenience ), what weight value you want to assigned that perticulat activity.
Make sure that all the required link is marked in ’Auto cost rule’, so that p3 will calculate the ’actual to date’ & ’actual this period’ as per OD & RD.
As, Mr Karim said, it will be updated automatically in regards of ’Actual to date’, ’To complete’....etc after each updates, and u can produce your reports in terms of desired weight value.
thanks,
Prabin Kumar
