Dear All,
I want to assign a hammock activity to cover the site cleaning activity from the start of the project to the end of the project.
I have already done this, but now i want to load it with a resource - Unskilled labor for cleaning of the site and assign 100 units( hours ) each day. This i want to do
for working days only , now my problem is that when i assign this resource and put 100 units per day and schedule it it doesnt give me the actual spent till date( considering my project started in Feb 2007.
Moreover the total budgeted quantity field is also not automatically filled & and once i put the actual start date as 1st feb 07 and schedule it on todays date the percent complete field as well is not coming.

Please advise what is wrong , or if you have any better idea of doing this.
regards
Deb

    Hi Ravi
    Why shouldn’t you just put BQ as your intended Units per Day x Duration of Hammock activity? P3 uses BQ to calculate BC & QTD etc rather Units/day to calculate BQ and BC etc.

    Hello Sajid,
    I dont want to put BQ because the duration of the project will vary and i want the BQ as well to vary accordingly.
    kind regards

    Hello Sajid,
    ya floating BQ dependant on the Duration.

    Wish is a variable ,for me a fucntion of time.
    My great grand father wished a Gramphone and that was the normal , my grand father wished a radio , my father a hi-fi system , my wish for the time being you know.
