User Preference in Primavera P6 EPPM Complete Look Through
Select from one of the following options to calculate performance and earned
value information. Calculate Performance and Earned Value Information lets you choose whether to
display earned value information, performance indicators, and indices based on cost or labor units.
For example, when you display earned value information on the Portfolios Performance Status tab,
you will see either Costs or Labor Units data, depending on how you set this preference.
Cost: Select to display earned value information, performance indicators, and indices
based on cost.
Labor Units: Select to display earned value information, performance indicators, and
indices based on labor units.
1.f. Display actual and earned value using financial period data
Display actual and earned value using financial period data lets you choose to
view information based on past period actuals data that has been stored for custom financial
periods. This option applies to the histogram and spreadsheet displays in the Portfolios Gantt Chart,
Projects Team Usage view, and Resources Usage view.
When you choose this option, stored financial period values for actuals are distributed evenly
from the start to the finish date defined for a financial period and earned value calculations are
based on these stored period quantities.
If you do not choose this option, actuals data is spread evenly from the actual start to the
data date or actual finish date of the activity or assignment.
Note: If you choose this option but period performance has not been stored, total reported
actuals display in the timescale period representing the data date. For more information, contact
your P6 administrator or Project Management Office.
If projects are summarized by financial period (which is controlled in Application Settings in
P6), this option is ignored. When projects are summarized by financial period and you display a
financial period timescale, the profile displays past period actual values if performance has been
stored for a financial period; for financial periods that do not have stored performance, the profile
displays all unit and cost values in financial period intervals.
