Fixing Schedule

[Robin Roe]

Hi

Is there any wak of fixing the weekly work hours and duration on a task
regardless of what actual hours have been entered for previous weeks on that
task.

Example
Task 1 has a duration of 4 weeks.
Resource A is assigned for 40 hrs for the task (2 hrs per day)
Resource A enters 8 Hrs for week 1 (10 hrs expected)

Results -

With fixed Duration - All future days are now at 2.13hrs
With Fixed Units - Has extended task by one day
With Fixed Work - Has extended task by one day

This is what I would have expected, but is there a way to keep all future
hrs and duration as planned rather than project automatically recalculating
this for me?

Thanks

You can only fix one of three variables in the Duration equation. You can
fix Units, Work, or Duration, but not two of them. Therefore, I would
recommend you make the task a Fixed Duration task and live with the hours
changing. Hope this helps.
