task completion

[martin de lange]

Using P2003 & PWA

I am using hours logged per day on a task. As soon as the schedule (hours)
equal the (actual hours) then tasks are considered completed and gets a tick
next to the item. Is there any way that I can prevent the completion taking
place eg. for a monthly job catcher project. This task is amongs others
that do have determined hours tasks.

I put another custom column in to indicate a percentage of the work complete
to indicate to me when the task is complete but are there any other ways?

Any help would be much appreciated

Martin --

When the Actual Work equals or exeeds the Work, then the Remaining Work
field is set to 0 hours and the task is marked as completed. This is the
default behavior of the software, and it is totally logical. In situations
like yours, I recommend that you teach your team members how to readjust the
Remaining Work field in PWA to a number greater than 0 hours to show that
the task is not done. A good reporting methodology with PWA is to ask your
team members to report the following:

1. Actual hours worked entered on the day the work was performed
2. Remaining Work estimate
3. A Note to document why the Remaining Work estimate was adjusted

Hope this helps.
