If the entry method and option settings on the Budget and Progress Method Setup window are:

  • % Complete and Earned Progress entry method = Independently Control % complete and earned quantity
  • % Complete Calculation Method option = Manual activity % complete and resource % complete
  • % Earned Calculation Method option = Update Activity and all resources on activity start and finish

then this data entry method scenario results:

  Activity % Complete Manual entry

For example: If % earned on Actual Start = 5% and % earned on Actual Finish = 95 % then,

when Actual Start is entered, Earned Progress = 5% * Quantity

When Actual Finish is entered, Earned Progress = 100% * Quantity.
