Dears,

I have prepared a preliminary construction scheduling according to work items and their  approximate durations. When I would like to assign resources (quantity of materials, equipments or labour at site) to tasks; my project manager said that we had no available bill of quantities and total measurement of quantities for the project.   In this situation while I edit percentage completion, P6 calculates remaning  duration according to original duration but I would like to follow the progress according to resources. Is there any ways to do this?

secondly; Despite of having total quantities, I can not assign any materials some of the tasks like 'permissions' , 'preparing submittals',  'submittals & approvals' in my scheduling. Especially, I tried to update preparing submittal task according to physical completion percentage but I couldn't do it. Is it also possible to do?

I need all your opinions and advices to solve this problems.

Thanks for your helps, all of you.
