I am using Project Professional 2003 SP2.
I have resources assigned to tasks in each of the months of the task's
duration. Initially the Baseline Start & Finish and Start & Finish dates are
consistent.
The problem I have is if a task finishes in the month prior to the Baseline
Finish date, Project:
1) reduces the hours - I think if I changed to fixed units that would be
corrected,
but more significant problem for me is
2) Project eliminates resources in the final month because the task already
completed.
I realize this is logical from a scheduling perspective, but I need to
maintain consistency between the resources including timephasing and the
budget spreads in our cost accounting system.
Ideally, I need the capability to have both Baseline budget timephased data
maintained and actual resources used, also timephased, which my not be
consistent with the Baseline budget.
This issue also affects my ability to properly status a task. Say the task
was in the baseline scheduled to complete in late November but actually
completed in October. In the month end October schedule, I don't want the
task duration shortened to show an on-schedule finish in October. I want to
show October as an early finish of a task scheduled to finish in November.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanka,
John
