I have encountered a new problem again!!
let me give you a situation:
Suppose I have an activity of 4 days duration and this activity has a resource say Labour with 3 units per time period. Thus the budgeted quantity for this activity is 12 units.
Now consider the case when this activity actually gets completed in 1 day lets say with 3 units ( yes my planned budgeted quantity was wrong), here the programme gives units per time period as 12 ie 12 units of labour for 1 day instead of 3 units(this can be done by resource loading-resource projection).
Note: I have kept the P3 option" Freeze units per time period" unchecked.
Now my questions are:
1. Should I keep the Freeze units per time period option checked while updating a programme. This will change my budgeted quantity. Is there some methodlogy that I am missing?
2. Should I update the actual resource utilization for every updation as to do this would be like impossible as there are a lot of resources and a lot of activities. and if yes how should i do it.? Is there some way of using import export function to do this?
Some one with experience in Primavera p3 can help me here!!!

Your option 2 is the correct way of updating your resource and yes you can use export/import function (wk* or dbf) to update your resource assignment which you can open and modified it in excel. There are some rules to follow when using wk* or dbf format. For WK* you need to define the range of the column and save as wk*. For dbf you need to define the whole area as database and save as dbf.
Best Regards,
