BCWP Not Calculating

[Nikole]

I'm having some issues with my BCWP calculating in MSP 2007. I have entered
in tasks, fixed costs, resources, baselined the info, and entered status
information into the schedule. For some reason, the BCWP is not calculating
on some tasks while on other tasks it is. Does anyone know why this is? I
have the latest service pack installed.

thanks,

Nikole,

Did you set the Status Date in Project / Project Information ?

Yes, the status date has been set. What's really confusing me is that the
BCWP will calculate for some tasks, but not for others and nothing different
has been done. I checked and a baseline was set for all of the tasks with
missing BCWPs.

Also be certain to key the "Actual Start" date into the "Actual Start" or
"Actual Finish" fields. These are different than Start/Finish. For
example, if you have a task that is a future task (starts September 18,
2009), you will not earn BCWP until the status dates reaches that date. So,
key in the real dates and it should show.

Also, are you properly updating remaining work, and remaining duration?
