Work on Portfolio Analyser

[David]

While viewing work on the Portfolio Analyser. I view for
some of the projects work is scheduled for Thurs, Fri(non-
working days) whereas on the project plans these days are
non working & have no work scheduled. What could be the
cause? Any known issues with such problems faced before?

Regards,
David

David:

Work, as represented in the Portfolio Analyzer, may not be distributed
across the actuals days worked for a variety of reasons. Task type and
tracking methods have significant impact. For instance, if a project manager
marks a one-week fixed-duration task 100% complete without resources
reporting on the task, work is automatically accrued and evenly distributed
across the entire week from Sunday through Saturday. The calendar has no
affect on this distribution. Algorithms like these move data from the
timesheet tables to the project tables and then these distributions get
picked up by the analyzer. Typically, it's a good idea to rely on data being
accurate to one-week's precision in the Analyzer unless you've got very long
duration tasks of various task types.

How to resolve this issue to accuracy as the timesheet
time entries are taken for the payroll system? If resource
has not worked on Thurs, the work gets carried sometimes
to Thurs on the Portfolio Analyser.
