An issue with the ACWP calculation with parallelised task

jalarc03

Hi all!

I've been a proud user of Merlin Project for some months and I have a doubt with Merlin about which I have not found any information and it's driving me crazy.

The ACWP is well calculated separately (€20) but in the project the value I have is €10 because it's calculated progressively (I think). The logical thing would be that the top value should be €20 as well, not €10.

When the tasks are not parallelised everything is calculated as it should, but I don't know why in these cases the data is misleading because when I use the ACWP for any other metric such as Cv (as you can see it also gives incorrect values.

Would you be so kind as to bring me some light?

Thx!

Hmm, would you care to share some more views of your project?

Resources > Entry showing the costs of your resources r1 and r2
Work breakdown > Earned Value
Work breakdown > Cost Planing
Select the Row #0 and check if there are any costs in the Activity : Finance

Or.. you send your project to support@projectwizards.net

Best regards, Vicky
