TImesheet info does not match Project Server info

[Steve Gold]

The projects in the Project Server (accessed via the Project Pro client) do
not match the tasks in the team members view when they go to "My Tasks". FOr
example, task XYZ shows 100% complete Project Pro, but shows 75% complete in
the PWA timesheet view. I've tried to collaborate the project in Project
Server by "publishing all tasks" but it doesn't make a difference.

How can I force the timesheet view to be in sync with the project from
Project Pro?

It sounds like you might have entered actuals manually in the Microsoft
Project plan for those tasks. If this is the case, you must click
Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments, select the "Overwrite actual
work entered by resources" option, and then click OK. This will "push" the
Microsoft Project actuals to each user's timesheet in PWA and "synch up" the
two plans. Hope this helps.

That seems to be the answer - Thanks!

I think I spoke too soon. It still doe not work like I would expect it to.
I republished all assignments as you suggested and and selected "overwite
existing assignments", but the developers timesheet still shows many tasks
with a black x as the icon. These tasks have been re-assigned to another
resource and are actually complete but they still show up on the developers
timesheet.

I was hoping that republishing ans overwriting existing assignments would
overwrite all assignments - does it not do this?

The big black X symbol represents a task that was cancelled by the project
manager. The user can hide these cancelled tasks by selecting each task and
clicking the Hide button on their PWA timesheet. Refer to the following FAQ
for an automated way to remove all cancelled tasks from the database:

Hope this helps.
