Scheduled work value changed to match work and actual work values

[ks2008]

Hi,
Refer the attached document, step 6.

"As soon as you entered the first actual value for the task, the
scheduled work value changed to match it. Both work and actual work
values rolled up to the task and summary task levels and were
distributed among the specific assignments to the task. You can see this
happen in the timephased grid on the right and the table on the left."

Here is my question,
Could someone explain the above stmt. what it means ? I don't
understand what is going on here ? Will appreciate it ?

"Scheduled work value changed to match work and actual work values",
why ?

thanks
KS.

Hello KS,

When you view work in the Task Usage view, the information in the
timescaled portion shows "scheduled work" which is the assignment
work as it is currently scheduled. The data is labeled "work" in
the view. When you supply actual work, the view updates the "work"
value to match the actual work entered. The scheduled work in
future days may update if you entered either more or less actual
work than was scheduled. The original work value is not lost as it
is stored in baseline work, assuming you've saved a baseline before
beginning tracking.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
