The main Progress Tracking screen allows you to look at the Progress Tracking objects and their events one at a time. For a broader overview that shows you all the data for each Progress Tracking object in one screen, you use the complete view for Progress Tracking, or the Evaluation screen. This provides you with an overview of your Progress Tracking data and enables you to compare and analyze it in more depth.

The evaluation screen is split into two parts. The selected networks and activities, or purchase orders and purchase order items are displayed in the left tree structure. The components/schedule lines with their events and their subitems, plus the events of the subitems, are displayed in the right tree structure.

In the right tree structure:

• For each event, the dates are underlined in red or yellow in the case of variances, according to the settings in the Progress Tracking profile
• Each event is assigned an icon whose color represents the worst variance (green circle, yellow triangle, red square).
• The events are flagged in the right tree structure with:
• Each subitem or component/schedule line is assigned an icon whose color represents the current worst variance of the assigned events (green circle, yellow triangle, red square). The subitems are flagged with: .

To provide the most informative representation possible, the following rule is used for displaying the aggregated variance per component/schedule line and subitem:

• The variance of an event is only taken into account, if there is no logical event following it, in terms of rank in the sorting of the events, for which an actual date is maintained and whose variance is evaluated as being weaker than the variance of the current event.

By using this rule, the degree of variance for an event can be made relative or be completely resolved by the completion of a succeeding event or adjustment to its execution time.

In the left tree structure, the aggregated variances of the component/schedule line are identified per subordinate object as a colored icon (green circle, yellow triangle, red square).

You can call up the Evaluation function:

• By selecting one or more Progress Tracking objects in the Component/Schedule Line Overview on the main Progress Tracking screen and then choosing Complete View.

• By choosing Logistics ® Project System ® Information System ® Progress ® Progress Tracking Evaluations (transaction ACOMPXPD) or Logistics ® Materials Management ® Purchasing ® Purchase Order ® Reporting ® Progress Tracking Evaluations (transaction AXPD)

By double-clicking a node in the left tree structure, the related subtree is expanded and brought into focus. All other substructures in the right tree structure are collapsed accordingly.

You can switch the complete screen on or off by choosing Full Screen On/Off, above the left tree structure.

Using the toolbar in the right tree structure, you can filter according to objects with a particular color of variance by choosing:

• Display (Show Red Events)
• Display (Show Yellow Events)
• Close All (Display Objects Only)

You can also create a more detailed filter for the evaluation screen, in which you filter according to events, variances, priorities and intervals, by choosing Filter View.

By choosing Statistics, located above the left tree structure, you can call up statistics for objects in the evaluation. In addition to the total number of objects, the quantities and percentage of open or overdue objects are also displayed:

• Open means that there are still events without actual dates

• Overdue means that there are still events without actual dates whose planned and baseline date have already been exceeded by today’s date

Unlike the main Progress Tracking screen, where you can only print the individual ALV overviews, here you can print out the complete view by choosing Print view.

You have the choice of printing out the current view or the entire hierarchy, with a print preview option for both of these.
