I am using Project Server 2003 and an admin project for recording leave etc
(which I may change based on postings here!). If a resource enters time
against a task in the admin project, and the time is approved by the PM, the
value is not reflected in the Resource Usage view within other projects.
I've found that if the manager subsequently opens the admin project and
updates any actuals then re-publishes the project, suddenly the Resource
Usage values are now correct. I've tried opening the admin project and just
re-publishing without changing anything, but this has no effect. The values
in the admin project are always correct, just the Resource Usage in other
projects is not updated automatically.
I've also found that if I open a project while I have the admin project
checked out, I can see the correct Resouce Usage values as it seems to list
all admin project tasks individually, rather than thesummary showing a single
amount for the admin project as it shows normally.
If we enter time against admin project tasks by checking out the admin
project, this works fine - shows Resource Usage correctly in other projects.
But not everyone will have access to do this, and it also bypasses the
approval cycle.
All very strange, sorry if this post is not clear, but it seems to be an odd
problem.
Can anyone help?
