(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.
I have a question about the production of the daily reports, who has the responsability to produce this document and who is responsable of the distribution during the realization of the project.

I believe Zoltan is correct. For proof to support his opinion, go to the Guild's Compendium http://www.planningplanet.com/guild/gpccar/capturing-progress-updating-schedule and look at the real-life case study from Freeport Indonesia, Figures 7 and 8.
NO one has better, more timely and accurate information than the people on the front line. The challenge we have is how to make it as easy as possible for them to capture and communicate this information back to "project controls" team. The people in the field do not like to do paperwork nor is that their primary responsibility. Meaning we need to keep the paperwork the field does down to an absolute minimum. The Freeport Case Study explains how we were able to do that, producing "real time" progress reports within 4 hours after the completion of each shift, 3 times per day, 365 days per year.

usually the superintendent and or the formen. There is no way that the scheduler knows the detail of every group of work that is going on and the problems encounterd.
In the daily reports you find the quantity that we have realized ? and the responsability is it the scheduler that he must distribute it to each responsable of each disipline or is it the the team of the project manager that can do it ?
As for my opinion and experience, daily report at construction industry must have an internal and external versions. For internal reports (daily reports within the company itself) these are reports consolidated from various departments tackling various issues not only progress-related but also reflects construction issues and concerns, manpower status, equipment status, environmental impacts (if there's any), safety issues which must be discussed and addressed to each department heads for resolutions, mitigations and control. For external reports (to CLient), unlike internal, there are some restrictions on how much information should be disclose for the sake of information control. All of this must be prepared and consolidated by the project scheduler or in my position a sa schedule control.
