How to register progress

You can register project progress for:

• Elements (element, element/cost type, element/cost object).
• Activities (activity, activity/cost type, activity/cost object).
• Extensions (extension/cost type, extension/cost object). You can use the progress to determine the quantities and performed costs and carry out invoicing. Use the registration of progress at the element and activity levels for project invoicing and for performance measurement. At the other levels you can use the registration for monitoring.

Element progress You can globally update progress for a range of elements, activities, specific cost types, or all cost types. You can register progress based on generated control data. If your generated control data is based on elements, you can register progress on elements. This is the case if:

• The control budget reads elements
• The project budget reads elements, but the control budget reads activities (the control data will read elements as well as activities). However, if your generated control data is only based on elements, you cannot register the activity progress.

Activity progress The progress of activities can be derived from the planning progress. You can register progress based on generated control data. If your generated control data is based on activities, you can register progress on activities. This is the case if:

• The control budget reads activities.
• The project budget reads activities, but the control budget reads elements (the control data reads elements as well as activities).
