showing fabrication items in schedule
in my construction schedule i am showing only installation items but for two important long lead time equipment, i like to show fabrication durations too and link submittals and installation to those as they are important and long time.
but my schedule is only a construction installation schedule for the field is there a way to show and link those items but still exclude them from the % calculations? for example because they are long lead time, if they are not yet started, it affects the % complete of my project negatively although in the field there is a lot of progress by the way everything is calculated per durations in my schedule, as the default option. (physical % complete show 0 for everything even completed ones for example. i did not assign any resources. i go by durations) |

It mat not be ideal, but you could always use a "start no earlier than" constraint on a 0 duration task that is identified as "end of procurement period"- I have used this as a quick way of doing similar themed tasks where I need to show something cannot start, but do not want to put full info in. Link tis to the construction element and this will give the desired effect without any effect on % complete.

If you are referring to summary task % complete calculations, no, you cannot exclude tasks from those calculations. You could create another project with the fabrication details and with cross project links to the construction project.
Physical % complete is not calculated by Project it is an optional method of calculating Earned Value. If you use durations only, then the only automatic method is % complete. |

okay then i will show them as a milestone so that it is at least visible there. i dont prefer to use cross project links
makes sense? |

Not sure why you don't like cross project links - but okay. I'd show the milestone in the destination linked (successor) to the activity in the fabrication project.
