Earning Status (PQP) on non-016 Tickets and Partner Metal
Not really sure where the confusion is. Layout for all partner earning pages are the same - just focus on the chart, and you would get 95%+ of the info needed.
UA (016) ticket - award miles and PQP will be generally based on the fare unless there are certain exceptions.
Non UA ticket stock - award miles and PQP will be calculated based on flight distance and fare code for the eligible partner. Some minor exceptions - e.g. PQP cap, UA operated segments, but for the most part this is the general flow.
