Physical progress

The physical progress is the progress of a project expressed in amount or percentage. Infor LN allows you to generate and calculate the physical progress for all cost types and cost objects in a project based on:

  • Element
  • Activity
  • Extensions

This allows you to measure the progress and success of the project. Infor LN also allows you to copy the progress from the activity (planning) to the activity and element progress (production).

Physical progress can be generated for the project only if in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session:

  • The Project Status field is set to Active.
  • The Register Progress check box is selected.
  • The Control by field is set to Activity and the project is controlled by elements and activities.

The physical progress is maintained at the cost object code or cost control code level. You can use the Physical Progress by Element/Material (tpppc1520m000) session to maintain the physical progress for the combination of the element and the material cost object in a project. Equivalent sessions exist for the other cost types.
