Hi, we recently switched to a master project arrangement (in MS
2007+SP2) for all our projects, which brought on the need to us
resource usage view to hand edit the distribution of remaining work fo
each resource/task.
This has generally worked fine, except recently we've found this ver
annoying problem - when we alter the work values, MSP is actually als
modifying the actual work values with the same numbers - why would it b
doing this?
Heres an example:
Task1: Res1 has completed 5 hours of actual work, and has 4 hour
remaining. These are scheduled for a Monday in 3 weeks, and we want t
shift those 4 hours to the Wednesday of that week. Previously we coul
just edit those hours in resource usage view via the work cells in th
time-phased table, but sometimes we see this:the 4 hours are allocate
as actual work (thus work also equals 4 hours for that column), a
though the resource had now completed those 4 hours.
FWIW, the status date is correctly set to where the actual wor
finishes, and all remaining work and the cells we're trying to modif
are well past the status date, so I cannot understand why its doin
this.
Any tips?
