problems in reports

[Franz Spiral]

Hello I'm a new user from MS Project and I hope someone can help me.

* The task will take 2 hours to complete and the person has 7 days in which
to complete it ( payment will be for 2hours and not the whole week )

* The following week the same person will get a new task which will take 3
hours and once again has 7 days in which to complete it ( again payment will
be only for 3 hours and not for the 7 days )

* That same person will have a second task in the same week which will take
6 hours to complete ( payments will be for 6 hours )

The days must not be altered in the project. In all my reports there are too
many hours calculated. For each week there are 40 hours, therefore
3X40=120hours, but for the tasks there are only 2+3+6=11hours and if
anything is altered it will alter the whole project. The days can be longer
or shorter. I need a timetable for every Task. These Timetable must not
modify the calculated days.

I guess it all depends on how you define the task (which you don't
explain). Sounds to me like the tasks are:

Task 1: Type: Fixed Duration 5 Days not effort Driven
Work: 2 hours

Task 2: Type: Fixed Duration 5 days not effort Driven
Work: 3 hours
Predecessor: Task 1

Task 3: Type: Fixed Duration 5 days not effort Driven
Work: 6 hours
Predecessor: Task 1

Duration is 5 days since you probably have a 5 day calendar defined. If
you are truly using a 7 day calendar, then make duration 7 days (but
that is unusual)

I don't know what you mean altered dates. In general, don't define any
dates except the project start date.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
