To use earned value related dataIf you want to generate a planned value (PV) for a project with the Generate Time-Phased Budget (tpptc5200m000) session, you must assign earned value method related data to the activities in a time-phased budget. The planned value or BCWS is calculated for the leaf nodes and aggregated through the activity structure. Earned-value-method data in a version can be maintained only for those activities for which a budget amount is present in the version. With earned-value-method-related data you can apply performance measure techniques generating the EV, and the actual cost. The following sessions are used to define earned value. The sessions all start in the Earned Value Method Related Data (tpptc5511m000) session by selecting the Details EVM... option on the appropriate menu:
If activity data is stored in a version which is not the current version, you can use the menu option Copy to Current Version in the EV Start/End Percentage Related Data (tpptc5112s000) session and the EV Maximum Percentage Related Data (tpptc5113s000) session to copy that data to the current version. This is only possible if the status of the current version is Free or Actual and the project status is Free or Active.
