ms project actuals not in pwa 2003 timesheet

[Rudolf]

Hi,

I'm rather puzzled by the following situation:
in at least one project in project professional actual work entries are
shown in the Task-usage view that do not show in the pwa 2003 timesheet view
in that period of that resource. In the timesheet the tasks themselves are
shown but no work-entries.

It seems that this the case with some complete tasks but also with some
first day entries on tasks on which latter entries are shown correctly.

I would really appreciate your ideas as to what could have happened here.
But also, I am very interested in ways to locate as easily as possible each
occurence of this problem.

Rudolf, the first thing I would check is
Actual Work
with
Actual Work Protected.

Actual Work protected is the time entered in the timehseet, actual work
should be the same, but can be overwritten within MS Project. That would
explain the difference between the project schedule and the timesheet
hope this helps

Hi Marc,

thank you for your suggestion, but with every occurence I investigated so
far (30+) there is an actual work protected value which is the same as the
actual work value.
So maybe you have another idea? I really think that these timesheet entries
just have disappeared somehow...

Hi Rudolf,

this may be a stab in the dark, but the projects that have that discrepancy
between their actual work and the timesheet entry are these projects that
have been saved as an mpp file, then deleted from Project server and
re-imported?

That is the only other reason I have come accross where timesheet differes
from actual work .

Let me know if that was the case.
thanks
