Analyze Project Exceptions

Explanation

This activity describes how to analyze project exceptions. The analysis aims to detect problems which the activity or its connected objects might have at the time of the evaluation, and includes:

• Checking if the activity budget has been exceeded.
• Checking if critical deliveries and work can be achieved on time.
• Evaluating the progress and need date of the activity connected objects.

To help with the above analysis, the following conditions are automatically presented as Activity Exceptions:

• Resource planning has un-spread hours or missing price
• Committed + Used Cost exceed Planned Cost
• Committed + Used Hours exceed Planned Hours
• Connected orders that are planned/due to be executed late

You can analyze activity connected objects using one of the below mentioned methods.

• In Connections page of each connected object
• In Activity Monitoring - Project Connections page
• In Project Gantt
• In Project Exceptions lobby

The Gantt gives a visual help to analyze activity exceptions. It is possible to:

• View activities with exceptions.
• View time-critical objects connected to an activity, making it easy to determine if any such connected object has a need or required date that fall outside the activity's early start and early finish dates. The objects that can be seen in the Gantt are Purchase Order line, Shop Order, Work Order and DOP Header.
