Question

Dear Mr Shiwari,

I use Primavera for scheduling purposes, we are not specifically into detail of resources,we have direct given budget cost for each activity, so we can achieved total duration versus contract amount, this is not the aim of using primavera? S-curve and barchart is attainable in this data,,do we still need to segrefate the resources separately,like (materials, labor, Equiptment) how to achieve productivity rates for the activity. please share how it works?

Answer 1

If you are given the total budgeted amount, then the case is very simple. Talking of P6, you have to insert the value of total budget in the Total Budgeted Amount text box and you will see that Budgeted Amount/Unit will automatically be calculated. Make sure that Duration type should be FIXED UNITS AND DURATION
