Registering project progress

Infor LN allows you to register the progress of the project 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 project progress to determine the quantities and performed costs and process the invoicing. You can 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 update the progress for a range of elements, activities, specific cost types, or all cost types. You can register progress based on the generated control data. If your generated control data is based on elements, you can register progress on elements. This is applicable only if:

• The control budget is based on elements
• The project budget is based on elements, but the control budget is based on activities (the control data considers elements and activities). However, if the generated control data is only based on elements, you can only register the element progress.

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

• The control budget is based on activities.
• The project budget is based on activities, but the control budget is based on elements (the control data is based on elements and activities).
