Progress Analysis

In the following steps you can configure progress analysis.

An isolated consideration of costs, resources or dates is not sufficient for successful project control. Useful statements on deviations from objectives can only be made in connection with actual performance values.

Progress analysis supports these tasks. It is suitable for both internal progress control as well as a progress report to a customer.

For individual project objects , you can calculate a percentage of completion or derive it from information already available in the system. You can summarize these values using the project structure by means of an appropriate weighting factor, for example, planned costs.

The system uses a base, such as, planned costs, in calculating earned values from the percentage of completion. In addition, you can derive key figures and see deviations to objectively monitor your progress and control your project. The development of these values over time can also be seen.

You carry out progress analysis for an progress version as part of period-end closing. You can take these values and design your own lists to display them in the information system or display them graphically. You can use earned values in results analysis and billing.

Standard Settings

Measurement methods, fields and defaults are provided with the standard R/3 System and you can use them to carry out progress analysis.

In addition, you can define an individual measurement method and assign it to an object.

Further Notes

If you were using progress analysis before 4.5 and want to continue using the parameters and estimated POCs, you must execute report program R_CNEV_EVOF_EVFG_2_EVOP_EVPOC.
