Hi,
I do this:
1. Create new, blank project.
2. Create a task, set a duration of 5 days, and assign it a resource.
3. The resource usage now says 8 hours of work during the upcoming 5
days.
4. Edit the task information and set the unit resource assignment to
50%.
5. The resource usage sheet now says 4 hours of work.
All this is as expected. Now let's say I have this plan, but in
reality it turns out that the resource works 8 hours and not 4 hours
during the first day. So I enter 8 hours as "actual work" for the
first day. Now, the unit assignment for the task is suddenly up at
100%. However, the actual planned work remains at 4 hours per day.
I can change the unit assignment back to 50%, but it doesn't actually
change anything. Regardless of whether I set 50% or 100% unit
assignment, it doesn't affect the actual assigned work; it remains at
4 hours / day.
Is there any way I can prevent the actual work from meddling with my
planned assignment etc? What should I do at this point to get the
remaining assigned work up to 8 hours a day? Basically, the way I see
it, what's happened has happened. It's the future that I want to plan
for, not the past.
Thanks,
Mattias
