Generating Progress

Besides manually entering progress you can also generate progress. You can generate progress from related data or you can generate progress from the project plan as defined in the Planning module.

Depending on what you plan to do, use the following sessions to generate project progress:

  • Use the Generate Activity Physical Progress from Element Progress (tpppc1254m000) session to generate activity progress from the element progress.
  • Use the Generate Extension Physical Progress from Element Progress (tpppc1171m000) session to generate progress for the selected extension(s) based on the element progress. Use the Generate Extension Physical Progress from Activity Progress (tpppc1255m000) session to generate progress for the selected extension(s) based on the progress of the activities.
  • Use the Generate Physical Progress from Planning (tpppc1240m000) session to copy the activity progress (that you maintain in the project planning) to the actual activity progress and to the actual element progress.
  • Use the Generate Physical Progress in Planning (tpppc1250m000) session to copy element or activity progress (from production) to activity progress (in planning).
  • Use the Delete Physical Progress (tpppc1205m000) session to delete progress data for a selected project. For example, for a project without data or that has not been maintained since a specified date.

If progress is entered and or generated you can do the following:

  • Create invoices in the Invoicing module on the basis of the progress or unit costs. If a project invoice is printed in the Invoicing module, the revenues for these invoices are automatically transferred to the project accounting module.

Reports the control reports in the monitoring part of the Project Progress module are based on the progress, revenues, and unit costs (only unit rate- and progress invoicing).

Note
  • Unit costs and revenues are posted to the General Ledger module.
  • The performance measurement needs activity progress by activity/cost type when the earned value method is percentage completed.
  • Monitoring looks at the progress at cost object level.
