Generating Physical progress

Infor LN allows you to generate the physical progress for a project. You can also manually specify the physical progress. You can generate the physical progress based on the related data or you can generate physical progress based on the project plan as defined in the Planning.

You can use these sessions to generate and manage the physical progress of a project based on elements, activity, project extension or project plan for all cost objects:

  • Generate Physical Progress by Element/Cost Object (tpppc1128m000) session to generate the physical progress for a range of elements in a project. You can also monitor the progress data in the Project Production Control.
  • Generate Physical Progress by Element/Cost Object (tpppc1128m000)session to generate the physical progress for a range of activities in a project.
  • Generate Physical Progress by Extension/Cost Object (tpppc1188m000) session to generate the physical progress for a range of extensions in a project.
  • Generate Activity Physical Progress from Element Progress (tpppc1254m000) session to generate the activity physical progress from the element progress.
  • Generate Extension Physical Progress from Element Progress (tpppc1171m000) session to generate the progress for the selected extension based on the element progress.
  • Generate Extension Physical Progress from Activity Progress (tpppc1255m000) session to generate the progress for the selected extension based on the activity progress.
  • Generate Physical Progress from Planning (tpppc1240m000) session to copy the activity progress (project planning) to the actual activity progress and element progress.
  • Generate Physical Progress in Planning (tpppc1250m000) session to copy the element or activity progress (production) to activity progress (planning).
  • Delete Physical Progress (tpppc1205m000) session to delete progress data for a selected project. For example, in a project without data or that has not been maintained since a specified date.

If progress is defined and/or generated, you can create invoices in Invoicing based on the physical progress or unit costs. If a project invoice is printed in Invoicing, the revenues for these invoices are automatically transferred to Project Accounting automatically.

The Control Reports generated as part of Project monitoring are based on the progress, revenues, and unit costs (only unit rate- and progress invoicing).

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