Deliverables Information

When PPM Deliverables are mapped to P6Foot 1, the bridge can be set such that changes in the start and finish dates or Activity % Complete of the corresponding milestone activity in P6 will be reflected respectively in the deliverable Due Date and CompletedFoot 2 fields in PPM during the next manual update or sync operation. The following table shows the deliverable fields that are updated.

The following sections describe how to update PPM information from P6.

To update from P6:
  1. Navigate to the item or portfolio of items you want to update. You may wish to note the phase and other updateable information.
  2. From the Tools menu, select Update from PM. A confirmation dialog box appears.
  3. Click Continue. A progress indicator appears.
  4. After the update process is finished, one of two types of messages appear:
    • Update succeeded: All information was updated successfully.
    • Update failed (or some of the information failed to update): In this case, follow the instructions in the message.

      Note:

      You will receive an error message if some of the selected items are not mapped to a project.
  5. Click OK to close the dialog box. The project is now updated.

Footnote Legend

Footnote 1: Either because the initial publishing of the item was based on the PPM items phase and deliverable content, or if published based on a P6 methodology, where the methodology contains a WBS element with a milestone activity which are named identically as one of the item’s phases and its deliverable, respectively.
Footnote 2: If the deliverable milestone percent complete in project is 100% then the Deliverable Completed checkbox in PPM is checked. If the percent complete is less than 100%, the checkbox is not checked.
