Actual Task Hours "Auto-populating" in Resource Timesheet
Hello! I have a question about tasks that seem to have time actual values "auto-populate" in them on an employee's timesheets. Basically, when looking at a timesheet in Project Online (PWA), what...

If the project manager opens the enterprise project in Microsoft Project, and then manually enters a % Complete value on a task with resources assigned to it, the software will automatically calculate the Actual Work for each resource assigned to the task. If the PM then publishes the project, the Actual Work will automatically show up on each resource's Timesheet page in PWA. Have you quizzed your PMs to determine whether any of them are doing what I just described? If they are, tell them to stop doing this, as it appears you want all progress to be entered from the Timesheet page in PWA. The only exception for your PMs is that they can manually mark the % Complete value to 100% on only Milestone tasks. Hope this helps.
That is interesting. Where is that 201.36 "Actual Work" value coming from for the task? Just wondering as that is a big discrepancy!
Is that part of the auto-calculation over the timesheet periods because they adjusted the %complete, as Dale mentioned?

Clemay300 Good question. This only deletes that specific user's timesheet and not the timesheet period for your org. Any hours entered will populate the timesheet when they click "Click to Create". The timesheet user can perform this, or anyone who has the privileges can act as a delegate and perform this for them.
RodFromm. Just to confirm in step 6 of your instructions. This would be the user doing the following ->
1. Open Project Online.
2. Go to "Server Settings".
3. Go to "Manage Timesheets".
4. Select current timesheet.
5. Delete timesheet.
Is this deleting the timesheet for the individual user or would this delete that timesheet period for everyone in our organization?
Thanks!
