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.

Hi To ALL,

I have a Project scheduled on P6, I made WBS for Shopdrawing, Material sbumittal & Approval and Construction.
Then I add resourcs manpower to Construction (WBS) only.

when I start updating i noticed that Scheduled and Performance % complete roll up are showen for Construction (WBS) but for shopdrawing and material (WBS) remain Zero.

I tried to add Labor resource to S.D & M. (wbs) but still the problem is the same.

Can Anyone Help ???

Hi,

I write an article regarding How does Primavera P6 summarize data in the Summary / Grouping Band

You can find out How Schedule % complete and Performance % complete are calculated in Summary band.

Kindly read it here https://doduykhuong.com/2017/07/10/how-does-primavera-p6-summarize-data-in-the-summary-grouping-band/

Hi guys,

 

I do have a problem with the Performance % complete in P6 which are not being rolled-up.

Non of the above solutions worked for me. Still in the summary I'm getting zero percent while all of the child activities have been completed and actualized. 

Can anyone please help me with this issue?

 

Cheers,

Payam

Hi folks,

I'm just a little confuse on how exactly Performance % Complete behaves when it rolls up.

I have all my activities resource and cost loaded but it doesn't rollup. Below are my current settings:

Calculations Tab: $1

WBS: Activity Percent Complete

Advance Scheduling: enabled recalculate assignment

Group & Sort: show total

Any help would be very much appreciated.

thanks.

Don

Riad,

Remember there is a switch at the project level in the "calculations" tab, where you can assign all uncosted resources at £1.00. This is good practice if you do not use P6 for resource costing...

Very well done David, I forgot that I’d also experienced the same issue due to a lack of $/unit associated with the resources. Pretty certain that the same issue applies when trying to view the resource usage on the web application

The answer is (expert here) that performance % complete is based on money NOT manhours. So all of your resources need costed. If you price them at £1.00 then performance % complete is the Manhour liquidation.

In addition by default primavera does NOT recalculate assignment costs when scheduling by default (you need this) so either recalculate assignment costs under the "tools" pull down, or switch it on under scheduling options (recommended)

If you have added/deleted activities since creating the baseline, you will get the problem of performance & schedule % complete not rolling up. I would suggest updating the baseline to capture any new activities/deleted activities.

You should check the technique for computing performance percent complete set in the earned value tab of your WBS settings, it should be Performance % complete based on activity % complete

% complete should roll up the in the performance % complete column (But not Activity % complete)
