Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Storing of Period Performance

When billing in Excel (AIA form) or in the P6 schedule the current billing period amounts must be "rolled" or moved to the Previously Billed or Actual Cost

categories before starting a new billing period.

When the billing has been approved and finalized in the AIA form it can be copied to a new file for use in the next billing period. To "roll" or clear out the This

Period amounts in Excel, the current period amounts will have to be added into the Previous Application column cells. This creates a starting point for the new

billing period.

Note:

In P6, by default, actuals will be distributed evenly across time periods. For example, we set up an activity to start the first day of May, and we have actuals for the

month of May of 15 hours. We have actuals for the month of June of 25 hours. P6 will display this as 20 hours for May and 20 hours for June. To get the exact

amount of hours for each month, you have to store period performance. To do this, take the following steps:

1.) Set up your financial periods:

Select Admin, Financial Periods from the Menu Bar

You can either add your financial periods manually, or set up a batch run by entering the start date and end date and how often the period should be created.

2.) Enter your actuals for the resource into the column, Actuals This Period. It will also put the same amount in the Actual Units Column; at the end of May, Actuals

This Period would have 15 hours, as would Actual Units.

3.) When you are done with the update, do Tools, Store Period Performance. This will move the Actuals this Period to the appropriate financial period and zero out

the Actuals This Period column. At the end of June, enter 25 hours in Actual This Period. Actuals This Period will have 25 hours and Actual Units will have 40

hours.

4.) To view the financial periods, do the following:

Click Edit, User Preferences

Click on the Application Tab

Enter the Financial Periods that you would like to view. In the Activity Window, add the financial period columns (they will start with the financial period).

Explanation:

The Project Baseline is a single metric for comparison that enables all members of a team to have a shared and consistent set of data against which to evaluate

project progress. There is only one Project Baseline at any time. All pages that display summarized data compare and display data against the Project Baseline.

Explanation:

By default, role limits are calculated based on the limit defined for each role's primary resource, which may not accurately reflect a role's planned allocation.

Correct Answer: AE

Explanation: Non-active resources may have left the organization but are not deleted from the system since they may have actual hours. Reference: Field Map for Oracle Primavera P6 Reporting Database

Explanation:

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Cost and work is here least flexible. If total work effort or fixed costs are most important, choose Fixed Units.

Note: Working with Duration Types

Duration type options

Duration type determines whether the schedule, resource availability, or cost is most inflexible when calculations are performed to reflect activity progress.

Duration type affects update calculations only when resources are assigned to an activity.

Choose a duration type based on which factor is the most important, or least flexible, in planning your project.

If schedule is most important, choose Fixed Duration and Units/Time or Fixed Duration and Units. If resource availability is most important, choose Fixed Units/

Time. If total work effort or fixed costs are most important, choose Fixed Units.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Note: Percent complete

You can also update activity status by entering the completed percentage against it. In the Activity Details screen, you can set the percentage complete for the

activity to be one of these three types:

· Duration: It simply calculates the current date versus the start date and planned duration.

· Physical: It requires statusing both resource units (remaining duration or percent complete). This delivers a better representation of progress, but at the cost of

requiring greater detail.

· Units: It requires statusing of remaining units. The percent of delivered units compared to planned units drives progress for the activity.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Choose Manage Scenarios display a list of all scenarios available to you, and to modify or delete scenarios. Scenarios are historical snapshots of project group

data you can use to aid analysis of project groups on the Portfolio Analysis and Capacity Planning pages.

For detailed information on modify scenarios, see Modify scenarios. For detailed information on deleting scenarios, see Delete scenarios.

Note: The Manage Scenarios page enables you to view the list of all scenarios available to you. Use this page to modify and delete scenarios, view or add notes

for a scenario, and send e-mail to users associated with a scenario. Each entry represents a project code, EPS node, or portfolio and includes an identifying icon,

name or title, and the number of associated scenarios. Only entries with existing scenarios are defined.
