Please note that you should prorate it only on the activities moves on that cut-off period and not for all activities. Also make sure that all previously completed activities are not included on your update so it will not change the previous actual units when you done the update.
I was pretty much expecting that reply.. good idea about prorating the actuals though.. a bit fiddly.. but i suppose the best way.. if only I could convice the company to use the timesheet function!!..
The simple answer is “NO” but you can create a WBS summary activity and have it resource to that level so you can track actual man-hour per WBS summary. It will produce same normal report as you required such as S-curve and tabular.
If your have resource your programme down to activity level, another option is to export your data into excel format and update it from your downloaded accounting data and prorate it against your assigned units as your weight factor. Then import it back to P5 to update your programme. This will gave same result for WBS level point of view.
