Resource Units for Tasks entered in PWA differs than tasks entered inProject 2007

[Mollie]

Hello,
I have an ePM user asking why if he enters a project task in PWA does
it not check the resource max units allocation the same way as when he
enters a task in Project Professional.

For example:
You have a project where resource A is 50% allocated. When you create
a task in Project Professional for this resource, the resource
allocation is set to 50%.
Create a task under the same project in PWA, submit and approve the
task.
Open project professional and view the task information for the task
entered in PWA, why is the resource allocation set to 100% instead of
50% set for this resource?

The simple answer is that the controls in the PWA interface are not as rich
as those in the Project client. Therefore, the Project Manager needs to make
these changes when accepting new task proposals.
