Gary,
I hate to seem remedial, but we are running into odd situations that may be
procedural errors on our part. So I would just like to clarify the correct
procedures...
In this situation, are you "zeroing" out work for resources on tasks that
are being deleted? Or to tasks where a resource is being removed?
We are finding that if we need to delete a task that had resources assigned
to it, we have to remove the resources first, republish to generate an
assignment cancellation to the resource, then delete the task. Otherwise,
just deleting the task (without removing the assignment first) leaves orphan
assignments in resource timesheets. However, we have not zeroed out their
scheduled work.... just removed them from the task. So are you suggesting
that we should be zeroing out assigned work first, then remove the resource,
then republish to generate the cancellation, and then delete the task?
In a situation where you are removing a resource from a task that is NOT
being deleted, I'm guessing you are saying that we should be zeroing out
remaining work for the resource to be removed, republish the task
(overwriting actual work), remove the resource, and then republish again? If
re-assigning the task to another resource, we can just use the Replace
function in Assign Resources, correct?
Thank you in advance for you patience and assistance!
