Complete % in EPM <> Complete % in MS Project 2007

[Merry]

Hello,

I encounter an issue. All tasks have been updated in MS Project 2007 with
Complete % = 100%, but when I inquiry in EPM PWA, one task Complete % is 99%,
which results in the whole project Complete % is 99%.

PS: When I open the project by MS Project 2007, it reminds me "an inactive
reource has remaining task....".

What is the reason.

Thanks
Zhang

Zhang,

I would insert the % Work Complete field into the Entry table and find the
task with the remaining work by filtering for anything less than 100%.

Thanks Darrell,

I will try tomorrow and see if that is true.

Hi Darrell,

I checked and found the % Work Complete fields are all 100%. Some one told
me, it may caused by not publish. But how can I check if the plan is
published.

Thanks

It reminds me another issue; some contributors sent timesheets, but
they used the add line feature, and they did not add activity on an
assignment, but on a summary task, or even at "project level"; First
issue is that this add some actual time to the project , and this
actual is not equal to the sum of the actual provided on the tasks;
second issue is that, as this actual has not been provided on a
particular assignment, the validation work flow by project manager
does not apply; therefore, you will have some discrepancies between
EPM and MS Project... or at least between the sum of the tasks and
actual that shows on the task "0" (visible when checking "view summary
task" in Project Pro options.
We are working on a customization to prohibit use of the summary tasks
in the timesheet.

Hope this can help.

This might be the problem: A task is only complete when all the resources
assigned to that task mark the task as complete. If you get the statement
that there are still inactive resources on the project, then perhaps a
portion of work is still associated with an inactive resource and is
therefore not complete, and the task is then not complete. Try this: When you
open the project it should specify the name of the inactive resource. Switch
to the resource usage view and determine which tasks that resource is
assigned to. Either update accordingly or transfer the assigne,mt to the
person who actually did the task and update to complete

Hi Smith,

Thanks for your hint. I will try next Monday when I back to office.

Hi Smith,

I checked and definitely I found that inactive resource was assigned some
tasks. But I suppose the resource had updated the task progress to 100%
before he left. Is there any way I can know the resource really updated the
task progress to 100%?

Thanks
