We have a case where a resource entered time on a task that was suppose to
start in the future (they had selected the wrong task). Three weeks later,
this resource, and others on the task, charge time as expected. The PM
accepted all of these the time submissons and updated the schedule.
Just this last week the PM noticed the error and had the resource remove the
early entry (by replacing the previously entered hours with 0h). The manager
accepted this change and updated the schedule. Those earlier dates have zero
hours of actual work.
Here's the problem. The task in the schedule still has the earlier
(incorrect) start date consistent with the hours that were entered and later
zeroed. The Gantt display of the task starts on this earlier date and has
the delay(..............) indicator until the first set of actuals.
How can I get the task to display the correct start date? The resource in
question shows no task delay. I have tried just changing the task start, but
that moves ALL actual work 3 weeks into the future. I tried displaying
actual work in Task Usage, but I can't _remove_ these early values. Deleting
them just sets them to zero.
I'd like the task date to reflect the first date work was done and not
change any of the actuals already submitted.
Ideas?
