Please note that you can alter the way % earned (i.e. performance % complete) is calculated per WBS element.
Furthermore the activity % complete calculation is driven by the activity % complete type (duration, units, and physical), so there a quite a few combinations to choose from.
The mechanism provides a lot of flexibility but it takes some time to understand how it works.

I think the issue here was the terminology, actually we were expecting to see the %of progress, and %earned.
Primavera Calculates the % of Completions as (Sum OD-Sum RD)/Sum OD, my project was loaded down at the finishing with more detail that at the beginning, that was the reason why my percentages were coming out real low.
% Completion of projects calculation is depends upon the Factors 1) Cost 2) Resources and 3) allocated Duration.
Decide with the consultants on which factor they have to monitor the % completion and Load the factor as the resources . and exports the BQ and give the weitages to activity and % .As the activity progress earned % and total % can be calculated.

Dear Friends,

Juan,
What % complete are you using?
There are quite a few in P3e and not all of then add up. (Duration % complete for instance)
Hope this helps,
Niek.
