Probably most common method reporting percent complete in Primavera is Physical Percent CompleteFor those of us who utilize Primavera Scheduler P6 and beyond there has been some idiosyncrasies that are more of a pest than anything. One of these consistent issues is that Physical % complete does not automatically roll up or summarize to it's assigned WBS level. This occurs as far as I can figure out because there is no link between Physical Percent Complete and Remaining Duration. This promotes logic of estimating Remaining Duration from a software perspective as well as mitigating the effects of the 80/20 rule. With all of this said Physical Percent Complete provides qualitative or personal judgment measurement.
How ever like many of these characteristics there is a workaround even though it is somewhat dirty.
Navigate to the WBS window then in the bottom layout "Earned Value" tab (WBS Details folder) choose "Activity % complete" as the technique for Performance % complete. Then add "Performance % complete" column to your layout.
Now, you can see the summarized Performance % complete in your WBS band in this layout.
