In P3 for monthly planned manpower required was generated from Tools-Tabular reports-Resourse - Loading -Total monthly usage- modify to which resourse required and Run.
Which is the equivalent report writer in P6.

Similar after updating every week for earned value, - Tools -Tabular reports-Resourse - Earned value -RE01 - modify change to cash loaded in resourse and RUN.
which is equivalent in P6.

Also for resourse (L*)we can see the required resourse monthly in P3 in table below. but what is option in P6

    You can use the resource usage spreadsheet to see required resources per timescale.

    Ajeej,

    To use resource usage spreadsheet click resource usage spreadsheet icon or select View-> Show on Bottom-> Resource Usage Spreadsheet then click the resource on the bottom left and it will display resource spread per timescale. To see all resource, highlight all resource. (see sample below)
    Resource Spread

    In P3 you cannot define labor, non-labor or equipment and materials but you can name it as define labor, non-labor or equipment and materials and define a cost type. Meaning all of them are just labor therefore when imported to P6 all are recognize as labor.

    You can produce earned value report using activity window (activity module) or tracking window (tracking module)
    To use activity window click activity usage profile icon or select View-> Show on Bottom-> Activity Usage Profile. Then right click on the profile and select Activity Usage Profile Options and tick Earn Value, Plan Value, At Completion or anything that you wanted to show on the profile. (see sample below)

    hai,   I have a recovery

    hai,

     

    I have a recovery program and the activities have some actual start dates. The activity duration type assigned is fixed duration and units.

    Resources assignments have - Preserve units, duration and units/times assigned.

    but when i check the resource usage spread sheet, in updated activities,  the Actual units  + remaining units doesnt match to budgeted units. i have assigned resources as budgeted units.

    Can anybody help me out

     

    regards
