I'm using MS Project server 2003, resources are entering hours to assigned
tasks and they are updated and approved by the manager. Actual hours do not
update in the MS Project 2003 professional file on my laptop.

WHY???????

First of all I'm using 2007. I had a similar problem in 2007 and I found out
that there are things to be done to get timesheet data into project data. The
steps are below.

1- Team members fills the time sheet and submits it.
2- Depending on your settings system or timesheet approver approves the
timesheet.
3- Team member gets into my tasks page, Import the submitted timesheet. The
related tasks %completed changes. and a red "!" is seen at the right of the
task name indicating unsubmitted tasks.
4- Team member have to submit those tasks to PM.
5. PM approves the tasks either from task approval page,or when the project
client is opened it first shows a message for PM to approve the submitted
tasks.
6. After PM approval related timesheet data is now in task usage.

Hope it helps, if anyone know a better way please let me know.

In both 2003 & 2007 timesheet approval (by Resource/Timesheet Manager) and
acceptance (by Project Manager) are independent. As you can see in Erdem's
response, 2007 is much more complicated. It appears from your question that
the Resource Manager has approved the timesheets, but the Project Manager has
not updated the project. Ensure that the Project Manager has gone to the
Updates page in PWA, accepted all changes, & clicked Update. If you still do
not see them, ensure that you are connected to the server from your laptop.

Same issue I have been dealing, but No satisfactory solution,
As a Project Server admin for couple of years, I always face the issue with
Actual Hrs difference with timesheet. I am having Manage Timesheet Periods in
my PWA. Sometimes in many plans I use to find that the actual hrs reported by
team member isn't properly updated into the plan.(all zeros hrs but i can see
timesheet has black hrs that means approved)I use to run Deleted Assignments
report but cant see the big difference.

In this case, I do the changes in tracking setting changes & make it to Non
Managed timesheet period & then do the republish of assignments with
"overwrite the actuals by Resource timesheet" , Sometime it works...but
sometimes it removes the hrs of other resources & make it all blank with 0
hrs.
I have gone through the following:

This is really agonizing pain for me for every Querter. I have Project
Server 2003 SP2a, with Project Pro SP2 & all latest enviornments service
packs,
Any suggestions?
