Progress analysis scenario

Can some one help me with a sample scnario for Progress Analysis which can help in understanding what events will lead to Cost Variance or schedule Variance and will give me EAC, ETC etc.
I have all the settings done for progress analysis, but I am getting same values for BCWP & ACWP.
Also, how is Plan POC related to schedule/duration/period of the activity?
Regards,
VDS

Dear Rupesh,
please have a look at the SAP online documentation following this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/b4/ba853488601e33e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm
Project Progress -> Progress Analysis:
There you can find a list with the relevant KPI's, formulas and questions they will help to answer.
Project Progress -> Progress Analysis Progress:
There you can find a short scenario with a diagramm which explains the cost variance and schedule variance.
The relation of the POC calculation to values like schedule/duration/period is depending on the measurement method which is used, as every measurement method uses different values as basis for the calculation. So a general answer can't be given on that.
Kind regards,
Dirk

Estimation method of progress Analysis

Hi,
We are having following scenario.
We are creating the project in PS. Then creating the PM order & assigning
the order to WBS element.
We want to use the Estimation method of progress analysis. Hence we havedefined Estimation method as default measurement method (both plan &
actual )for following objects,
1. WBS element
2. Internal processed activity
3. External processed activity
4. General cost activity
5. Order (Other than Network)
For WBS element & all activities we are able to manually maintain planned
POC & actual POC in CJ20n.
But for PM order we are not able to manually maintain planned POC &
Actual POC.
Can you please let me know where we can manually maintain the planned &
actual POC for PM Order.
regards,
Pradip Shelke

I do not think it is possible for order to use estimation method..
Please go for Cost / Time / Work proportional

Comparing Progress analysis data saved in past periods

Hi forum team,
We are using PS in SAP R3 ECC 6.0 system
With the intention to reviwe at later stage, we had saved 'Progress
Analysis' report data (CNSE5)in 'Other selected version' in past periods
i.e.in July, August etc.When we open these reports in November all its
fields (Adj/Nonadj/Agg/Non Agg/PlanPOC/ActualPOC....) except actual
cost shows current period (November) values.
We thought this version copy would be a sort of screen shot but now it appears as a dynamic report.
How can we save this report (cnse5) in ERP database as we save project version for comparision in future?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Mohan Parab

Hi
The standard method is KKA8. But you need to reverse the settlement.
Or you should be able to delete the data from RPSCO with Value type 32.
But once you delete, you will be running the RA again for the last 10 Years? If so will you be settling it again? In that case how do you reconcile this with FI-CO and PA?
Thanks

SKF for Progress Analysis

Hi,
I have successfully run progress analysis using Estimate method . As my understanding after I run CNE1, system will record POC that I maintained in Estimate table into SKF. Which report I can use to see this SKF value ?
I have checked all SKF report in PS and even in Cost Center Accounting, but the report has no data.

Hi,
Did you check the report CNE5???
Once you run CNE1 accordingly reports on CNE5 will update.

Define Measurement Method as Default in Progress Analysis

Hi All,
I have defined Measurement Method 0000000003(Milestone) in progress analysis for my company code.
But while running CNE1 for my project it is not picking the measurement method i have defined for my company code but it is picking the 0-100 Method .
Please advice.
Muzamil

Hello All,
I have read all the posts on the subject, we are facing the same problem as reported by Muzamil. I have done the follwing
1. Creat Progress Version
2. Define Measurement Method as Default Values
2.1. Define measurement methods for WEBE
2.2. Ddfine measurement methods for all activity types
3. Assign progress versions to the WBS Elements and Activities in their progress tabs.
But, wen I run CNE1, SAP does not pic the default methods while analyzing progress. SAP uses 0-100 method, which is not right.
Please propose some solution
Regards,
Murtaza

How to view the results of progress analysis

Dear Experts,
I executed progress analysis for my project analysis in CNE1 for my project.
After execution, PA has been completed for two WBS elements. But iam not able to see any POC values or costs.
Where should I check and confirm that Progress analysis has been carried out successfully.
Pls suggest.

Hi,
Run the transactio CNE5 for the project progress analysis ,you will get the following reports.
The standard reports offer various values we can use to assess the progress of our project. The following fields are defined in the standard progress analysis reports:
- Planned POC in percent
- Actual POC in percent
- Budget Cost of Work Schedule, BCWS
- Budget Cost of Work Performed, BCWP
- Cost variance (CV)
- Schedule variance (SV)
- Value index (CPI)
- Estimated costs at completion (EAC)

Raj

Default report display for Project Info System: Progress Analysis Report

T-Code: CNE5
At the Progress Analysis Initial Screen, I chose the fields from the menu Views > Choose Fields, Then I saved the Variants as Test_Variant ( GoTo > Variants > Save Variants )
Every time I run the report, it will run the Test_variant but once I logout and login again to run CNE5 Test_variant will not be used.
Can I set the default variant, so that every time I logout and login and run the Progress Analysis(cne5), Test_variant will be used as default.
Appreciate advise
Thanks.

If you want the same variant should default to all the users then you can assign the variant in SE93 to transaction CNE5. write your variant there-->save.
Other option is to look at possibility of creating screen variant using transaction SHD0 for CNE5. Take help of ABAP in this case.

PROJECT PROGRESS ANALYSIS FOR NETWORK HEADER

< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please read the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] before posting next time. >
Dear all,
We can get the progress analysis data (tcode CNE5) for a network activity and also for WBS element. However data is not cumulated at the network header. Need your urgent help for getting this at the network header level. Is there a workaround like user exit for doing this?
Also let me know available user exists for PS. Please guide me how to find an user exit for PS in particular.

No , it is not possible.
Please search the forum for further details, as it discussed many times earlier.

Progress Analysis, Plan/actual % comparision based on activity confirmation

hello guyz,
I have to monitor the project progress based on activtiy confirmation, can anyone guide how can i see progress of project based on percentage with plan/actual dates comparison.
The business scenario is:
One top level WBS under which 2 WBS assign, each 2nd level WBS have one network assigned. The second level WBSE represent individual site where i have to perform various internal activities without cost involvements, only dates and number of durations to be maintained in each internal activity with finish start relationship.
The structure is:
Root WBS (level 1)--SITE 1 WBS (level 2)--
SITE 2 WBS (level 2)
> (Network 001) -
> (Network 002)----
> 001 0010 (1st Internal activity 2 days) -
> 002 0010 (1st Internal activity 2 days)-
> 001 0010 (2nd Internal activity 4 days) -
> 002 0010 (2nd Internal activity 4 days)-
> 001 0010 (3rd Internal activity 1 days) -
> 002 0010 (3rd Internal activity 1 days)-
> 001 0010 (4th Internal activity 3 days) -
> 002 0010 (4th Internal activity 3 days)-
In the above project structure i have entered the start planed dates for each network / site. The system automatically calculate the planned end dates after scheduling.
In execution phase, i have also maintained actual dates on activity confirmation only.
Now i need assistance to see the project progress for each network site.

the problum is still there kindly provide assistance...

PS Progress analysis CNEx0031

Hi,
I am exploring the enhancement CNEX0031 to be able to write some code for progress caclulation.
As per the docuementation,this exit is triggered in txn CNE1.
However, in spite of putting a break-point in the user -exit and thereafter running CNE1, the program control is not stopping at the user exit.
Any suggestions as to how I can achieve this.
If someone has used this user exit, an example of what kind of code can be written in it, will also be helpful.
regards,
Shashank.

Hi Shashank,
Right now I'm facing the same problem, I've already implement the user exit but I would like to know if you have an example of the implementation, I still don't know where to find the info of the structures to calculate the POC.

PROGRESS ANALYSIS: what does COST PROPORTIONAL measurement method use for?

Hi Experts,
When I tried to use the COST PROPORTIONAL measurement method, I found 1 thing:
+ actual POC = actual cost / overall value
+ BCWP = actual POC x overall value
It means that BCWP = ACWP (actual cost) --> Cost Variance (CV) = BCWP - ACWP = 0
Hence we cannot see the cost variance when we apply the COST PROPORTIONAL method.
Could you please help me to explain the use of COST PROPORTIONAL method?
Thanks and best regards,
Khoa Huynh

Hi Abdul Khader,
Thanks for your answer. I got your point.
But can you explain more about "Cost proportional measurement method is suitable for work packages where costs and services have a constant relationship"
Thanks a lot,
Khoa Huynh

Progress analysis

Hi expert,
can anybody give one example , explaining BCWS,BCWP and ACWP having different values.
Thanx in adv.
Ashis

Hi
Adding to explaination of Muzamil, the figures depends on how POC is calculated too.
To explain consider following simple example :-
lets take an example of a activity in Construction project
Activity = Concreting
Work = 1000 m3
Planned overall cost = Material Cost of Concrete (as material) at Activity
                               = Quantity Required X unit rate
                    = 1000 X 3000
                    = Rs. 30,00,000
Noraml duration = 60 days
So, at 30 days Planned POC (based on work i.e. degree of processing) is = 500 m3 = 50 %
& BCWS = Planned POC X overall costs
              = 50 % X 30,00,000 = Rs. 15,00,000
Actual Confirmation at 30 days = 400 m3 = 40 %
So, BCWP = Actual POC X overall costs
                  = 40 % X 30,00,000 = Rs. 12,00,000
Now consider the GRN of "Concrete" material as 450 m3 (till date),
so ACWP = 450 m3 X 3000 (unit rate of material) = RS. 13,50,000
Hope this helps you.
Regards

Prog analysis

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,
Srinivas Potluri
