In Project Online, Finish Date not adjusting as per remaining effort

Brass Contributor

Hi, 

  I am facing an issue in Project Online, where the Finish date is not getting adjusted automatically based on the remaining work. I'll explain wrt desktop project. 

Consider a project in which a resource TOM is allocated for 10 days on a task, Start 19/07 , Finish 01/08 (Ref. image 1) 

Let's say, TOM worked for 3 consecutive days (8 hours per day), on 19/07, 20/07 and 21/07. The Finish date is 01/08 and is unchanged. (Refer image 2)  

Now, consider a situation, where 3 days on which TOM has worked is not consecutive. He still works for 3 days, but those 3 days are not consecutive. Refer image 3. In this case, the Finish date changes to 04/08 to accommodate for the non-consecutive nature of effort spent. 

How do I achieve this functionality in Project Online? We have Project Online set up in which resources fill their actual hours on the task. These actual hours are not consecutive, but the finish date does not gets adjusted. See the image 4, in which only 1 week is remaining (blue highlight on top), but the project is expecting 135.5 hrs (black highlight) to be recorded in the last week, which is incorrect and illogical. 

 

Any thoughts ?
