MSP2003 Server PWA asynchrony

[Ruben van den Bogaard]

To my horror I have encountered a serious problem in MS Project Server.
The hours that have been booked by the team in the webaccess tool are not
properly synchonised and therefore not updated into the projectplan on MS
Project Server.

While users see their filled out and updated hours in the PWA they are
neither in the project plan nor in the update list. Since the team can not
simply click update without mutation i used the following tactic to resolve
this:

- Please log in to the ms project web access tool
- For each day and task you have entered hours on all work you have entered
in MS Project, please add 1 hour.
- Click update (you see the notification that the update is sent to me)
- Now you have to change it all back by subtracting the 1 hour so that all
hours booked are altered back to the actual hours you filled out before.

This is a one time solution, i really wonder what could have caused this
error and how i could avoid/resolve it. For it would be a problem to have the
team do this each week.

Hopefully someone here knows the solution.

Kind regards,

Ruben

Ruben:

Are you following the correct procedure? Enter time into the timesheets,
then go to the My Tasks Page, and import the time to the My Tasks page, then
submit the updates to the Project Manger. Simply submitting timesheets does
not update project data or send any notice to the project manager.
