Ghost Hours appearing in PWA timesheet

  • Follow


Why are actual hours automatically appearing on a resources timesheet?  They 
go to open their timesheet and there are hours there that they did not log.

Hi Amy,

does the project manager of these tasks update project progress manually? If 
he does (e.g. set %complete in his project plan), 'Work' for each day will 
be copied to 'Actual Work' for a period. These hours will be pre-populated 
in timesheets. If my assumption is correct, tell them to change remaining 
work rather than %complete to update their project progress.

Barbara,

I checked with the PM and here was her response,

"I do not manage my plans that way.  The only time that I modify % complete 
is if I remove all work and the % does not change.  Below is an example of 
when I might modify the % complete, but again only if work is zero.

Example:  Task never started and determined it was not needed.  Remove 
remaining work using task usage view.  Modify % complete in either the task 
detail or column inserted in view."

Your thoughts?
