Fellow PP’ers,
I’m in need of some advice.

Somehow in my schedules when I start and finish an activity its actuals are automatically set to the budgeted units for the resource assignments on that activity, without any manual or automated entry of information.

The resources in question DO NOT have the ’auto compute actuals’ selected.

I don’t think any of my individual user preferences or project level preferences are affecting this but I am very confused. Also another planner in our organisation is having the same trouble, but oddly enough a third planner does not seem to suffer from this issue.

The activities are generally Resource Dependant, Fixed Duration Units/Time and Duration % Complete.

And we are using the timesheet module, but one of the resources that I’m using (Pool/Parent Resource) does not have a timesheet created for it.

I reckon I’ve got something ticked or checked somewhere that is causing this, what do you think??

Andy

    Hi Khuong,

    It seems that, everytime somebody asks a query, u explain it in KPMS forum and then divert the route.

    I know that u r one of the global moderator of the above site, but Dont take it in a rude way, but the fact is, the site is really very very slow and whenever i open it, antivirus software bangs on showing VIRUS FOUND in temperory internet files folder

    So, requesting you, not to divert ur posts.

    Cheers,

    Ravi

    Hi Andrew

    Auto compute actuals is a nasty parameter. It comes from three sides:
    - Resource, so any of the resource’s assignments will perform as scheduled - you excluded already
    - Activities
    - Expenses

    The reason might be activity or expense.

    Regards
    Dieter

    No personal opinions though,

    Thats a great initiative, but try to solve the problem as early as possible, as more and more people will start looking into ur forum now.

    ALL THE BEST!!!

    Cheers,

    Raviraj

    Dieter,
    Thanks mate, I’ll give that a crack.


    Khuong,
    Thanks for your feedback but I have also suffered from the trojan on your site, I would suggest that you need to clean it up before many more people try to use it as it will fail if people get a virus, because they just wont go back.

    Dieter,
    It was the project level setting on the calc tab for the recalculation of actuals based on duration % complete.

    Struth! there are so many different things to set and many rabbit holes to run down with this thing.

    Thanks
    for your fast and helpful feedback.
