Bucket Tasks and Allocating Time

[MK]

Let’s say in week one you have a task that has 5 hours as the full bucket
amount. For that week you allocated 6 hours to it. You update, submit and
include it with your timesheet. You actually did not complete the task so
the following week you have an additional 4 hours of time to allocate. Since
you updated > 100% the previous week it appears the task goes away. How do
we allocate time to that task again?

Thanks MK

Hi,

By setting Remaining Work, either ask teh resoruce to do it in the timesheet
(Isn't there an option that remaining work can be introduced by the
resource?) or in Project Professional. Insert Remainig woirk as a field in
Usage Views.

Are you using PS2003 or PS2007? If you are using 2007 are you using My
Timesheets or My Tasks or both? You will need to use the remaining work
feature in either case but depending on what you are using, the approach
might be slightly different and you need to understand how to set it up
successfully. Let us know.
