I thaks a lot for your answer.
I have reproduced the scenario following your advice: I set the Earned Value Method to “Physical Percent Complete” in the Advanced tab.
However, when I tried to update the progress, I noticed that the “Physical % Complete” field is read-only and cannot be edited directly.
Therefore, I had to update the standard “% Complete” field, which automatically updated the “Physical % Complete” to the same value.
Even in this scenario, with the Advanced setting applied, the problem persists: the Actual Cost is still recalculated based on the percentage, incorrectly showing 100 instead of 1,000.
What did I do wrong? Is there a specific step I am missing to decouple the input of actual hours worked from the physical progress?
