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.

Load only whatever cost added to remaining activities. Forget the cost for all completed activities, it is considered a sunk cost. Planning is iterative so while the project is progressing you need to replan, catchup the schedule and recompute the remaining level of efforts needed to complete your project. Make original durations intuitive equal to remaining.

Hi Irfan,

Agree with Raymund reply, total cost to be loaded and remaining shall show whatever balance per activity from data date.

Regards,

Sri

hi Irfan

I think you should load total revised cost .  I am new to P6, so it's just an advice.
