Urgent Timesheet question

[vbaker]

In MS Project Server (Web Access), we have set our time periods to be "Non
Managed". Even when timesheets are submitted, users are still seeing the
following: "Your timesheet has not been submitted for the period 3/6/2005 -
3/12/2005" and we are wondering how to remove these from the homepage and how
to prevent them from appearing. (We have installed SP-1)

Any help, suggestions, etc. are greatly appreciated!!

Thanks so much.

Did you turn off the Timessheet Approval feature as well in PWA?

 

[vbaker]

For Project Managers, yes. I just unchecked it in the Administrator's
security template. Hopefully that works. If not, I'll reply again.

Thanks so much!!

You should turn off this feature at the global level in Project Server to
disable it for everyone by doing the following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions
2. Click Admin - Server configuration
3. Set the Timesheet Approval and Approve Timesheets for Resources
permissions to Deny
4. Click the Save Changes button

Hope this helps.

That's been done already. Still haven't seen a change. (

Thanks so much for your help.

Have you installed the SR-1 service pack for Project Server 2003?

We're having the same issues as you and have tried all the previou
recommendations that were part of this dicussion. When we applied th
SP1, all the timesheet message reminders disappeared, but they cam
back straight after we published a plan and put time on th
timesheets. the only difference we have from you is that we hav
Managed Timesheet periods set up on a weekly basis

If you have managed to sort this out, would greatly appreciate you

You actually have to reply to the message to which you intend on responding.
Otherwise, you create an orphan post completely out of context.

Hi All,

Looking at all these posts concerning timesheet warning messages, I am
pretty sure there is something wrong (a bug ??) in the managed period
mechanism. I am also using EPM 2003 with SP1 and using managed period of a
week.
All my tasks are finished and I have nothing "active' in my Tasks menu.
However, I keep receiving on the home page under "Tasks" line header, the
timesheet warning message for each period. I tried to submit the timesheet
for the corresponding periods even if I have no work to perform on these
periods but nothing changes. The bloody timesheet warning messages do not
disappear from the home page.
What can I do if I need to use 'manage period' anyway ?

Dale,

I denied timesheet approval as suggested and the messages are still being
generated. I installed the latest service packs on the server and pro
versions. I also switched off managed periods. The problem/message still
appears and are still being generated. Very strange! Any other
suggstions/tips are greatly appreciated. Is there a way to delete these
messages from the users' hope pages?

cheers

Paul

Hi Sylvie,

I have been trying to solve this for quite sometime as well. Could you let
me know if you get this solved? It is starting to get pretty bad.

Thanks a lot,

Robb
