Prog analysis

Question

Hai
Need solution for the following scenarios:-
1) by seeing the Project Planning board - Bar chart /gantt chart can see that project is in progress or getting delayed . This is again based on confirming the actual with respect to planned only. In the bar chart will not tell that remaining activity hours /days is still remaining . How to get /see the remaining activity in the bar chart itself instead of doube clicking and entering into that activity?
2) gone through the Project Progress analysis - notes . In the activity Tab - what is the Progress ? how this will be used exactly in PS ? How effectively POC can be used for Project Progress for Workcenter activities
   I have seen one of the earlier post but not very clear.
Regards
PP

Hi Pratap,
1) Please check the requirement specified in the text boxes. You get only the relevant values for a specific objects. For example if you specify that you want :basic date", then this is applicable only for WBS element. Obviously this field will not be displayed against the activity. Similarly "Work" Field will get displayed only for the activities.
You should have a look at the <b>SAP Note 363103 - Setting "Time bar labels" not effective</b>. For your convenience, I am replicating a portion of the note here
Symptom
The time bars of the project planning board cannot be labeled and saved user-specifically. However, changes you made in the settings dialog box have no effects.
Cause and prerequisites
The interactive user guide is not clear.
Solution
You find the corresponding dialog under "Settings --> Options..." in the planning board on tab page "Date bar text".
Here, the set text type controls which values should be displayed at the time bar:
•If you want to display only a single labeling, set one of the proposed options as a text type ("Description", "Start date", "Finish date", "Start & finish date" or "No heading").
•If you select option "Variable description" as a text type, you can specify up to five different values for the display. For allowed options, refer to the respective field help.
Also Have a look at a Note 500933 - Proj.plng board: Recomm., additional information, consulting.
2) CNE5 does have option to display actual Duration and remaining duration. Just select the "Actual duration" and " Remaining duration" from the field selection and you will get the required field in the report.
Hope this clarifies your query. Please recheck the required parameter and I am sure you will get the result.
Hi Ranjan,
As regards to your query on time based progress analysis. Well, the "% duration" and "% work" in CN41, give you the actual POC for network activity.... If you are using Confirmations in the network activities.
Also have a look at the Progress version. Here you can define the basis for POC.... Whether its Cost plan, Budget, Work or based on Weigtages. ( Select the progress version- Go to "Settings for progress analysis-Select your controlling area-- and double click.)
As regards to S-Curve. I am not sure on this, but please go to CNE5 and select the graphical representation. You may get what you are looking for. Try for select all the date relavant fields and see the graphs ( Total curves, Correlations etc ).
Hope this helps.
Warm regards,
