Help with OT Calculations

[DianneZ]

HI - Love this group - you are such a fund of information.

in project 2007 -
I cannot explain why assigning overtime behaves differently if the task is
set to 100% complete first and then assign overtime or assign overtime and
then set 100% complete
EG:
task A - 24h - one resource
assign OT of 8h - Duration moves to 2days
add 8 hours to the work column to reflect that this is additional to the
24hours of work duration moves back to 3days work shows 10.67 hrs per day (OK
- understood)
mark complete - duration the same 3 days
Now.....
same duration task
task B - 24 h -one resource
MARK COMPLETE
then add 8 hrs OT
no change in duration! stays at 3D

It seems the orders matters - can you help me understand why the order of
setting complete matters?
Thanks wizards all!

In this scenario, I think because you have 100% complete, there is an actual
finish date. Actual dates never get re-calculated.
