Hi, we recently switched to a master project arrangement for all our
projects, which brought on the need to use resource usage view to hand edit
the distribution of remaining work for each resource/task.
This has generally worked fine, except recently we've found this very
annoying problem - when we alter the work values, MSP is actually also
modifying the actual work values with the same numbers - why would it be
doing this?
Heres an example:
Task1: Res1 has completed 5 hours of actual work, and has 4 hours remaining.
These are scheduled for a Monday in 3 weeks, and we want to shift those 4
hours to the Wednesday of that week. Previously we could just edit those
hours in resource usage view via the work cells in the time-phased table, but
sometimes we see this:the 4 hours are allocated as actual work (thus work
also equals 4 hours for that column), as though the resource had now
completed those 4 hours.
FWIW, the status date is correctly set to where the actual work finishes,
and all remaining work and the cells we're trying to modify are well past the
status date, so I cannot understand why its doing this.
Any tips?
