Hi Guys, 

Please provide me with your opinions for the problem stated below.

I have a baseline schedule which is resource loaded, but not cost loaded.

The "% complete type" adopted is "duration % complete" . 

My primavera schedule is detailed till activity level only, further under activity level - 'objects' and then next level 'opertions' are tracked separately in another in house software.

Update is done at operations level on inhouse software (similar to steps in P6) based on input from site, and i get a roll up to activity level based on objects (quantity basics weighted).

My concern is the value i get from inhouse software is basically 'physical%complete', my P6 schedule is duration%complete.

So what is the best way to integrate these.

no you either have to choose physical % complete or duration % complete

however if you choose physical % complete you can run a global change to set the duraiton % complete equal to the physcial % complete which will update your remaining druation

here is a link my my detailed instructions

Hi

Please advice me on the matter stated above.

Will i be able to update both physical % complete (from my inhouse software) and duration % complete (in status bar) at the same time in P6.

Will i get a roll up in P6 to WBS levels for both of these?

 

Thanks in advance

Arun
