Remaining work shows changes in PWA for Admin projects

[ahmed]

I am experienceing an issue with administrative projects that I have not seen
before. Users are entering their time in PWA for admin tasks and the
Remaining Work field adjusts to show the time they entered. Has anyone seen
this before? I have tried synching to acutals and republishing the tasks but
it still shows in PWA on the resource's timesheet. Oddly enougugh the
remaing work column in Project Pro shows 0 hours.

This is the default behavior of administrative projects in Project Server
2003. I know of no way to change this behavior, therefore, I would
recommend you make this a training and performance issue with your project
managers and team members. Hope this helps.

Dale:

Are you sure this is the default behavior for task on Administrative plans?
I would agree it is the default behavior for all other projects but not
adminstrative because the issue is not consistent on all of the admin tasks.

When a team member enters time in PWA against a task in a regular project,
the system DECREASES the Remaining Work by the amount of Actual Work entered
to do. When a team member enters time in PWA against a task in an
administrative project and the PM updates the time into the administrative
project, the system INCREASES the Remaining Work by the amount of the time
entered. This is one of the many annoying behaviors of administrative
projects. Hope this helps.
