Wrong values when a vacation day is taken

[joker197cinque]

Project Server 2007 SP1 + KB960010 + KB960011

Problem description:

a user submit a timesheet in which he billed one day as vacation/
holiday.

When I approve it, and review the update in Project Professional, I
see strange hours count under "Resource Usage" for that timesheet.

I mean if user submit a timesheet like this:
(note: on WEDNESDAY the user was on holiday)

MONDAY: 8h Proj1
TUESDAY: 8h Proj1
WEDNESDAY: 8h Vacation
THURSDAY: 8h Proj1
FRIDAY: 8h Proj1

when I try to review updates in Project professional I can see
something like this:

Proj1:

MONDAY: 10h
TUESDAY: 10h
WEDNESDAY:
THURSDAY: 10h
FRIDAY: 10h

Project just distributes the vacation day (8h) on other days (4),
adding 8/4 = 2 hours for each other day ...

This does not happen when vacation is taken on Friday.

Any help please ?

Regards.

There were a number of problems with actual work and calendars in the
Project client that have been fixed. The two KB articles you mention apply
to WSS and MOSS, and not Project Server. So, the first recommendation is to
bring your system *and* client machines up to date to the latest CUs, which
is currently February with another due out this month, or wait until next
week and apply Service Pack 2 when it releases. Understand that you may
still need to apply more recent CUs after you install SP2 in order to cure
all of your issues, unless it's one that hasn't yet been addressed.

Thanks gary, I installed all CUs on Server but I didn't install
anything on client ...
SP1 for client is available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...E2-D802-4A03-BC78-05C48472559B&displaylang=en

which are the exact CUs to install on client after that SP1?

Understand that you may still need to apply more recent CUs after you install SP2 in order to cure
all of your issues, unless it's one that hasn't yet been addressed.

I don't understand. Are the CUs independent from service packs ?

Thank you very much.

Well, if you installed anything released after July 10 onto the server
without upgrading the clients, then you put yourself in a situation where
you could actually damage your data. So, you need to take the patch
management discipline in your organization up a notch. See the following FAQ
for answers to some of your questions:
