Deliverables created in WSS

[Guidho]

I'm using project server 2007 with SP1 (on both client and server)

When I create deliverables from within Project Professional, everything just
works fine (Manage Deliverables, ...) Updates made on the deliverables in WSS
are sync with the project plan.

But when I create deliverables on the project workspace, I can't manage them
from within the project plan in project professional.
When I click 'Manage Deliverables' it says: no deliverables have been
created...

Is this a bug? Or do I miss something?
Thx!

I'm kinda guessing here as I don't know for sure.

I'd expect the sync between the deliverables lists and Project Server to one
way and as such there would be no reference in the Project Server DB that the
deliverable exists. So why have the functionality? Well it's a standard
SharePoint List and I guess the effort required to remove this "feature" was
deemed too much.

I've not experienced this, I've had deliverables working both ways (the only
issue being with the MS released VPC if you worked soley with the
administrator account). I suspect you're not seeing a bug, but a set up
issue.

WSS synch's the WSS content DB to the published DB when the project is
published, so it's worth trying to publish the project, and then close/open
the project and see if you can manage the deliverables then.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
I used the administrator account for testing this, and apparently, that does
not work (although, I don't know why).
With other user accounts, it works.
