Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

While using the Physical Percent Complete, the actual units is not getting updated automatically during the progress update(activity % complete). If duration percent complete is used, actual units will be updated automatically.

Is there any option to get the actual units updated automatically, using the physical % complete. The tab of " Auto Compute Actuals" is on.

Regards

Kannan

Hi Kannan

As follows is from the P6 RefManual Chapter 4:

"Update activities with Physical percent complete type

In the Activities window, select the activity to update and display the Activity Details Status tab. Enter the physical percent complete and the remaining duration for the activity. If resources are assigned, you must also update each resource’s actual regular units. "

Hope this helps.

Regards

Dieter
