MS Project actual time overwrites time
In project 2016 PRO, why does the Actual time overwrite the 'planned' time??

Hello!
Sorry, I made a mistake in my message…
What I’m trying to solve is why the ‘Actual work’ (and not ‘actual time’…) overwrites the ‘planned’ work? It makes no sense to me.
If I update the ‘actual work’ in my PWA timesheet or directly in Project, the ‘work’ (planned) numbers get adjusted with the ‘actual work’ I just entered. Is it a question of configuration? Is there something I should do to stop that? It is a serious issue for my project and my client…
Txs!

AnnickV2706 Actual hours - for example from timesheets - will always replace planned hours. You may wish to set a baseline if you want to compare planned hours vs. actual hours historically.
