i followed above step on how to remove actual. i have a problem when i am in step #3, there is error that pop-up everytime i click changes.

“error(s) occurred while processing the global change. please review the report before committing the changes”

and when i click commit changes and view result some activities are changes to not started, but most of the activities still same (still completed).

please sir help me with regards to this issue and kindly let me know the reasons why this error pop-up.

thank you and good day.

i followed the steps but when i commit changes on step number 6, error were prompted :

” error(s) occurred while processing the global change. please review the report before committing the changes”

and when i click ok and click on commit changes, some activities that are completed not replaced by not started. however some items changes to not started. can anyone help me on how to resolve this issue. i am using p6 r8.3.

thank you and good day

export the progress in excel before removing the actual and then you can import it back after you removed actual and done with your changes

syed,

make sure you have picked “activities” from the “select subject area” dropdown box as activity type is associated with activities and not activity resource assignment.

you still have some actual resource units or cost for construction activities. ensure that you have followed the steps outlined for removing resource or expense actuals.

kind regards,

can some help please…..

i need to know, how to evaluate the progress % complete by using phyiscal perentage complete foe each wbs.

awaitng your respond.

br.

in primavera p6 after partial planning and trying to enter actual units for cost/time control i found that the resultant actual cost very high!!! where could be the problem?…

following the steps outlined in the tutorial should return actual start & actual finish dates to the start & finish dates before progress update provided the logic relationships are still the same as they were at project start.

how to change actual finish start and actual finish dates, back to orgininal

every thing is ok but what about the logic being changed because of the out-of-sequence activities leads to change the relationships when the progress runs out of schedule

hi sonali,

suggest you take a copy of your schedule and try the steps below (i’ll also try these steps myself tonight & see if it works, i’ll do a blog post for it).

– ensure that the schedule is fully logic linked. i know some people don’t worry about logic links for completed activities, but to achieve what you are after, you need to ensure proper logic are in place and that includes resolving any out of sequence activities

– run a global change to make original duration = actual duration

– run a 2nd global change to change activity status to “not started”

– run a time analysis (f9) with data date set at project actual start (remember to set your definition of critical activities to longest path in scheduling options)

– run a filter for critical activities and fingers crossed, voila you should have your longest path

hopefully,

your information is very helpful.
i am stuck up in a situation.i have to find the longest path taken by a project schedule which is already completed. all the dates are actual. can it be solved in some way by using global change by “removing actual dates”?

thnx

hi jay,

my understanding is that “equipment” is of material resource type and step 4 takes care of this resource type.

on budgeted units. you’ll notice that my global change only affects actual units, so your budgeted units should the same as you had it before assigning actuals based on your duration type definition.

step 6 unchecks the actual boxes for you, so you do not need to do it manually.

hi ab,

unfortunately, i don’t know of a fast way of assigning progress. as mentioned in the blog post, this is the downside of removing actuals from a schedule.

maybe you should explore the use of sdk and see if it will help speed things up.

this info is helpful, thanks,

now, i removed all the progress did my changes and assigned baseline again.

now i have thousand of activities to progress, can you guide how to progress those activities faster? if i progress those manually it may take weeks.

ab
