Pushing Hours to the Plan

[Rob]

Approving a timesheet simply approves the time entered in the timesheet.
Approving a task update actually transfers the task progress into the
appropriate Microsoft Project plans.

Can you eliminate the step of going through the My tasks and have the
timesheet directly [after approval] push the hours to the plan?

Why the extra step in 2007 from 2003?

No, it is not possible the step of going to the My Tasks page and importing
the My Timesheet information. I believe Microsoft separated the My
Timesheet functionality from the My Tasks page functionality due to custom
requests for a timesheet system that allows a company to track every hour of
a resource's work for project and non-project work. Hope this helps.
