cannot update remaining work

[Ruth Halbach]

I have seen in previous responses from Dale where he suggests the following
steps...
1. Team members enter time on their My Timesheet on a daily basis and save
the changes.
2. On the last day of the reporting period, submit the timesheet to the
Timesheet approver.
3. On the My Tasks page, import the My Timesheet information.
4. Adjust the Remaining Work, if necessary.
5. Add a Note as needed.
6. Submit the task progress to the project manager.

This is exactly what we are trying to do, however, remaining work does not
allow update. On the task page, in timesheet view, we can see % work
complete, remaining work, start, finish, actual work, and progress after we
import the timesheet. None of the fields are input capable. If I click on
the task name to see the detail, again, none of the fields are input capable.
Is there a setting that I've missed?

Ruth --

If the Remaining Work field is locked, this means your Project Server
administrator has selected the "Restrict time entry to timesheet only"
option, which prevents TM's from adjusting the Remaining Work. If as an
organization you need TM's to adjust Remaining Work, then your Project
Server administrator's selection of this option is in conflict with your
project management needs, and this option should be deselected. Hope this
helps.

Dale, thanks so much. That is exactly what I was missing. Thanks again, Ruth
