BCWP and BCWS
in [Project]
|
From: Anna on 2 May 2008 14:18 I saved a baseline and I entered my planned cost in BAC field and enetered % complete and the BCWP field still shows 0 value. What am I doing wrong?
From: Andrew Lavinsky Andrew on 3 May 2008 08:44 Might be a couple of things: 1) Set the Status Date in Project > Project Information 2) Make sure that the task Earned Value calculation is set to % Complete (which is the default). I think that's Tools > Options > Calculations, but on existing tasks, you have to expose the field, which is Earned Value Method 3) If you're using Project 2007, make sure that you have the Service Pack installed. There were apparently some issues w/ exporting EVMS data before that was released. Probably the first one will work though. -A "Anna" wrote: > I saved a baseline and I entered my planned cost in BAC field and enetered % > complete and the BCWP field still shows 0 value.

From: Anna on 6 May 2008 15:07 I have Service Pack 1 installed. I tried Steps 1 and 2 and then I went to tables/more tables/earned value to check and see if the BCWP and BCWS calculated and it didn't. I know that I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Do I need to save another baseline in order for this to work? Do you have any material that can walk me through the step by step process of entering lump sum costs into a task and then being able to generate an Earned Value report by exporting to excel?

From: Andrew Lavinsky on 6 May 2008 15:15 1) Create a new project 2) Add Task 1 w/ the following values: Duration = 10d; Fixed Cost = $100; Earned Value Method = % Complete; Fixed Cost Acctrual = Prorated (you will need to display the fields as needed) 3) Save a baseline (Tools > Tracking > Set Baseline). Save to Baseline 0 4) Go to the Task Usage View (Right click on the blue bar on the left) 5) Right click on the chart on the right of the Task Usage View, and get rid of the details currently showing, insert the BCWS field (also known as PV) 6) You should shee the cumulative BCWS/PV for today 7) Set the Status Date 4 days in the future (Project > Project Information > Status Date) 8) Look at the change in the BCWS field on the Task Usage View Let me know if that works. -A "Anna" wrote: > I have Service Pack 1 installed.
