In this step, you can define the measurement methods to be used for determining a percentage of completion.
A measurement method is made up of a measurement technique that is predefined in the SAP System, and additional parameters, such as a starting percentage of completion.
Example
For the measurement method start-finish rule, the following measurement methods are specified:
- Method 0-100 with a start percentage of completion of 0.
- Method 20-80 with a start percentage of completion of 20.
You can use the following measurement techniques in the SAP System:
Start-finish rule
When you use the start-finish rule for progress analysis, the percentage of completion at the start is zero (0) or the "start" percentage of completion. If the finish date is reached, the percentage of completion is 100%.
For the start-finish rule, you enter a percentage rate for the start percentage of completion and a short text in the measurement method.
The usual values for the start-finish rule are:
- 0 - 100: The start percentage of completion is 0 %
- 20 - 80: The start percentage of completion is 20 %
- 50 - 50: The start percentage of completion is 50 %
You can use the start-finish rule to make a quick rough initial estimate of project progress. You should only use the start-finish rule if want an analysis of an entire project structure.
Milestone method
Each milestone corresponds to the portion of an activity or WBS element that was performed or produced:
- If the fixed date of the milestone is reached, the planned percentage of completion of the WBS element or the activity is set to the percentage of completion which you entered for the milestone.
- If the actual date of the milestone is reached, the actual percentage of completion of the WBS element or the activity is set to the percentage of completion which you entered for the milestone.
For the milestone method, you only have to enter a short description.
Estimate
For the measurement technique "estimate", you enter the percentage of completion manually in the work breakdown structure or in the network.
Enter a maximum percentage of completion and a short description for the estimate.
As long as an activity is not completed, that is, no actual finish date has been entered, the actual percentage of completion cannot exceed the maximum percentage of completion.
The maximum percentage of completion should prevent an overvaluation of activities that are "almost finished" (the "90% syndrome").
SAP recommends that you use 80% as the maximum percentage of completion for estimates.
Degree of processing
The degree of processing from the confirmation is copied as the percentage of completion. You can use the degree of processing measurement technique for internally processed activities which are confirmed.
You only have to enter a short description for the degree of processing.
Actual=Plan
The plan percentage of completion is adopted as the actual value.
Time proportionality
This measurement method determines the percentage of completion proportional to the time required. The system assumes linear project progress over time.
You can use this measurement technique for short report periods or for activities such as consulting or administration.
For time proportionality, you enter a maximum percentage of completion and a short description.
Cost proportionality
This method determines the percentage of completion proportional to the cost distribution.
Quantity proportionality
This method determines the percentage of completion proportional to the quantities used.
Secondary proportionality
For this measurement technique, the work performed for one project object depends on the progress of work in another project object.
Example of secondary proportional method
There are two activities in a network, "Create drawings" and "Check drawings". A drawing is complete only after it has passed inspection.
The percentage of completion of activity "Check drawings" is copied for the activity "Create drawing" when you use this measurement technique.
You only have to enter a short description for the secondary proportional method.
Standard settings
Measurement methods for all measurement techniques are available in the standard system.
Activities
- Check the available measurement methods.
- Define your own measurement methods, if necessary.
