Weighted milestone line items must be established before earned value is calculated for any object with a Weighted Milestone progress method. This may be accomplished by applying an enterprise-level weighted milestone template, importing weighted milestone line items, or manually creating weighted milestone line items for the relevant object.

The total weight of all weighted milestones established for an object item should equal 100. However, if it does not, the system can still calculate Weighted % Complete assuming all milestones have an established Weight and % Complete.

After set-up is complete, Weighted Milestones % Complete must be updated before earned value is calculated for each project period.
