| How to register progress |  |
| You can register project progress for: Elements (element, element/cost type, element/cost object). Activities (activity, activity/cost type, activity/cost object). Extensions (extension/cost type, extension/cost object). You can use the progress to determine the quantities and performed costs and carry out invoicing. Use the registration of progress at the element and activity levels for project invoicing and for performance measurement. At the other levels you can use the registration for monitoring. Element progress You can globally update progress for a range of elements, activities, specific cost types, or all cost types. You can register progress based on generated control data. If your generated control data is based on elements, you can register progress on elements. This is the case if: The control budget reads elements The project budget reads elements, but the control budget reads activities (the control data will read elements as well as activities). However, if your generated control data is only based on elements, you cannot register the activity progress. Activity progress The progress of activities can be derived from the planning progress. You can register progress based on generated control data. If your generated control data is based on activities, you can register progress on activities. This is the case if: The control budget reads activities. The project budget reads activities, but the control budget reads elements (the control data reads elements as well as activities). Activity progress allows you to view the time-based progress of the accompanying PCS project. You can link milestones to customized items in the project. You can report the progress for each customized item in the PCS product structure to the Project project. Extension progress You can enter fluctuations in fluctuation settlements. These determine the data required for invoicing the variations of a project contract. If quantities, prices, or times spent vary, the invoicing of these scope changes is based on the registered progress.
