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

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

After set-up is complete, the Actual Quantity of a weighted quantity line item must be updated before earned value is calculated.
