(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,
I think I am having a mental block, but cannot seem to understand how to solve it.
I have got a level of effort activity spanning a duration of approximately 13 months. I have assigned an expense resource to where I budgeted in values based on the documentation I have the distribution is lsimilar to:
November 30k
December 22k
January 0
February 235K
March 300K
Etc.....
Level of effort task is set to Duration % Complete and Fixed Duration and Units.
WBS has box "use resource curves / future period buckets" ticked and ETC computing technique is set as PF=1.
I have tried different combinations of these settings, but with no luck.
When Scheduling a a project I get PV of 52K (Correct) and EV of 94K.
When I ran an ETC report it shows values spread evenly for the duration of activity. So instead of 535K till the end of Financial Year I get a figure of over 1M
How can I get PV and EV to be calculated from Future Periods and ETC to show same story?
Thanks
Nikolay

What i have Understood from your discussion is that you need to use Financial periods for progress updation.Primavera uses Weekly/monthly span and distributes the cost evenly over that specified interval of time.If you need to show your EV with accurate figures then you must use financial periods for storing the performance.
For Planned value follow the instructions of Raymund de Laza

Hi,
I would suggest to allocate the budget in to a material resource type and assign a modified resource curve in accordance to required distribution within the duration.
