Task update date

Hi,

Is it possible to set current date as Actual Finish date,
when a task reach 100 % instead of Scheduled Finish date
in PWA ?

Regards

No, I do not believe this is possible, as it is handled programmatically in
the software. When a task is marked as 100% Complete, the software assumes
that the task finished as it was scheduled. If you need to establish any
other date as the Actual Finish date, I would recommend that you add the
Actual Finish field to the list of Published fields in Microsoft Project,
and then "push" this field onto each user's timesheets by republishing the
assignments, and then ask your people to enter an Actual Finish date instead
of entering 100% in the % Work Complete field. In fact, you should probably
make the setting of an Actual Finish date part of your company's methodology
for tracking progress and require everyone to use it. Hope this helps.

Sriram,

Project will populate the Actual Finish date with the last day for
which Actual Work was entered, if you have your resources updating
your plan by entering "actual work per day or per week". It will then
also change the value in the Finish field to the value in the Actual
Finish field. How are your resources updating the plan?
