How can i get difference in base plan and actual/current plan for a project

[surajprakash_singh]

Hi PS Experts,

How can i get difference in base plan and actual plan .

For example-

Project1 is created for 10 days (start and end date difference).

Now in between -project is extended/changed for 12 days .

What is the way to get 2 days as a difference in base plan and current plan.

Thanks

Hey,

you can use either base and forecast dates for comparison in Gantt chart or use a project versions, which "freeze" states of your project with dates for future comparison (you can make as many versions as you want for that scenario).

Hi Yury,

I have tried creating versions of project CNS41 but version data visible though  CNS41 is also changing with change of project in cj20n.

Is i am trying with wrong tcodes?

Thanks and Regard

Hi Suraj,

it couldn't be, cause project versions are just a snapshots. Check your settings for creating versions in spro. Also be sure the versions are created. Try to use tr, CN71

Hi Suraj,

You can follow a convention that -

(1) Forecast Start/Finish dates: Used only for Primary planning, once initial planning is done you should not change these dates.

Now, you will copy the same dates in Basic Start/Finish dates also.

(2) Basic Start/Finish dates: Whatever changes are done after the initial planning, you will make the changes only in Basic Start/Finish dates.

So, in Project Planning board, if you enable Forecast and Basic dates with different color coding, you can clearly see the variation in the Project schedule.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I think you want to notify these delays in your project. If I am correct, then there are few ways for it:

1. Use document (CV01N) for delay and attach it to concerned job (activity/WBS).

2. Use milestones to report the delays it.

Hi,

I am not sure, but guess you can use milestone dates with Basic date / Forecast Date and Actual.
