Cannot enter actuals in Web Access

[Mark Etheridge]

Hello,

We are trying to implement EPMS and so I have added a project to the project
server 2003 (EPMSimplement.mpp). I have been configuring the settings within
EPMS. One problem that I am having is that we cannot enter in 'Actuals' in
timesheet view. We can only adjust the % complete, and remaining work
columns. I have been adjusting the setting within the "Customize Probject
Web Access" within the Admin center. I have tried all options, including the
'Managed Periods' option where you open reporting periods. Nothing seems to
work with this project. This project file was added to project server when
the project was 50% complete. So there are no actuals added for the first
half of the tasks. Would this have something to do with my problem? Does
anyone have any options that I can try to hopefully resolve?

I have added a few other 'dummy' projects, and we can enter 'actuals' to the
tasks from these projects.

Hi Mark,

You are facing this problem because you must have
published this proeject before doing the settings in PWA's
ADMIN part.

Tracking Settings (In ADMIN --> Customize Microsoft
Project Web Access --> Tracking Settings) are required
BEFORE PUBLISHING A PROJECT PLAN IN EPM'S NEW SERVER.

You have to select (Under "Specify the default method for
reporting progress on tasks") - the radio button of
"Hours of work done per day or per week: Resources report
the hours worked on each task during each time period"
before publishing any Project Plan.

In case of any confusion please get back to me.

Hi Mark,

In case you wanted to enter the actuals in Hrs in your
existing project (Which was published before doing the
settings in PWA as i have told u earlier), Please RE
PUBLISH the assignments.

If you publish a plan before doing the settings (As told
by me earlier) in PWA then you have to RE PUBLISH it, in
order to fill the actuals in Hrs)

After Re Publishing the assignment, you will be able to
enter the actual work as you are able to fill in Dummy
Plans.
