Acutals change on Task I did not update

[Maha]

I go into the emp and update teh task hours for example
I have two task
1. bake cookies
2. Bake Bread

Baker goes into his task and add that he worked 10 hours on bake cookies task
I go into update task and accept the hours
when I go into the project server view under budget and cost view I noticed
that not just the the bake cookies hours acutal adjust but also the bake
bread.

why would bake cookies actual change bake breads, they are not linked and
there are no predessors??

Hi Maha - we'd need to know more about the project - are these the only two
tasks? How did you create the project? What non-default optiosn have you
selected? If you look in task usage view and add the Work and Actual Work
what do you see?

Please also specify if you are using Project Server 2003 or Project Server
2007.

I can tell you that if you only submitted actual hours for task 1 then the
actual hours should only go into task 1 and task 2 should be left untouched.

I don't have any more information from your post to go on so maybe you can
give us some more information.

yes this is a test project just to see why is it happening, it is happening
accross other projects, we are new at this so we did not change any default
option to best our knowledge. I am hopeing you can solve it , If I update
mine the legal cost changes where the hours under the view you just pointed
out, the hours don't change why would the dollar amount on the other task???

 

[Dave Ducolon]

Is the same resource baking the cookies and the bread? if you use the
standard calendar Bake Bread task hours will move as well after a full data
round trip through approvals.

You don't clearly state if it is actual hours or work hours that adjust on
the Bake Bread task.

Hope this helps
