Hi,

Progress Version

Progress versions are CO versions used only in progress analysis. The system records the progress analysis data in the progress version.The data can be evaluated at any time.

We use the progress version to stipulate :

- The basic value for determining the POC

- Value for weighting the POC in the aggregation.

- The set of dates used to determine the POC.

- That the actual or plan method be adopted in the other method if none is separately specified there. No such adoption takes place for measurement methods based on estimation or secondary proportionality.

I have gone through the SAP HELP. It has been explained the detail. However I am not clear of the " WEIGHTING". Can you elaborate this part with some example.

Hi,

The POC of a project is arrived at by summarizing the POCs of the individual objects in line with

the project hierarchy. You weight the POCs of the individual objects in order to represent the

proportion of work package to the overall activity. You define the basis for the weighting in

progress version customizing: example - Work. Inaccuracies at individual object level are ironed

out in the aggregated display.

You want to analyze the progress of the internal activities only in your project. You

stipulate the Manual weighting basis when you configure the progress version. In

addition, you stipulate weighting factor 1 for internal activities and 0 for external

activities.
