Archiving Projects - removing tasks from timesheets

[JodyJ]

In reading an excerpt from
http://www.projectserverexperts.com/Shared Documents/ArchiveCompletedProjects.htm,
there is a step re: removing tasks from resources timesheets. See below:

When a project team completes a project, the project manager should
immediately do the following:

1. Open the completed project in Microsoft Project Professional
2. Click Project - Project Information, set the Production Status field
value to Completed, and then click OK
3. Click Tools - Build Team from Enterprise
4. Set the Booking value for each project team member to Proposed and
then click OK
5. Click Collaborate - Publish - All Information
6. Save and close the completed project

My question is this: What effect does this have on reporting of "actual
work" for that project? We still want to report on these projects.

JodyJ --

The actions simply remove the completed tasks from each user's timesheet in
PWA. I would recommend that you try this procedure (steps #1 and #3-6) on a
completed project in your own system, and then do your usual reporting on
Actual Work. If you don't like the result, repeat the same steps, but
reverse the Proposed booking type back to Committed. Hope this helps.

 

[JodyJ]

I definitely will. I've got a test environment where I've already completed
the initial steps.

Thanks again for the assistance.

You have to create this field as a custom outline code.

I can't see this "production status field" that is referred to in this
document - can someone please help me?
