Hierarchy of Percent Complete Overrides

A graphical summary of the percent complete hierarchy shows which percent complete value takes precedence when more than one percent complete value has been defined for the project.

Overall Percent Complete

The overall percent complete for the entire project overrides all other percent complete values.

You enter the overall percent complete for the entire project in the Overall % Complete field on either tab of the Budget form.

Overall Labor Percent Complete and Overall Expense Percent Complete

If you define both an overall labor percent complete and an overall expense percent complete, Vantagepoint uses these values together to compute the overall percent complete for the project. In this case, Vantagepoint ignores individual percent completes for labor and expense budgets.

  • Define the overall labor percent complete in Labor Percent Complete on the Labor tab of the Budget form.
  • Define the overall expense percent complete in Expense Percent Complete on the Expenses + Consultants tab of the Budget form.

Overall Labor Percent Complete and Individual Expense Percent Complete

If you define an overall labor percent complete, Vantagepoint uses this value for your labor budget and uses the individual percent complete values defined for your expense budget.

You define the overall labor percent complete in Labor Percent Complete on the Labor tab of the Budget form.

Overall Expense Percent Complete and Individual Labor Percent Complete

If you define an overall expense percent complete, Vantagepoint uses this value for your expense budget and uses the individual percent completes defined for your labor budget.

You define the overall expense percent complete in Expense Percent Complete on the Expenses + Consultants tab of the Budget form.

No Overall Percent Complete Values

If you have not specified an overall percent complete, an overall labor percent complete, or an overall expense percent complete, Vantagepoint uses the individual percent complete values entered for your labor and expense budgets. That overall percent complete is a weighted average percent complete:

(Sum of All Percent Completes * Their Budgets) / Total Project Budget

This calculation also includes percent complete values for overhead, which is equal to the weighted average percent complete for labor.
