Re: Remaining work not = sum of future time phased work

If you select the task that is not cooperating, can you update just
that single task and move the remaining work? What version of Project
including service pack?

We have both of those options selected. Additionally, we executed
"Update
Project" for the entire project to move remaining work forward of
the status
date. Not all in-progress tasks have one of the problems, but I
can't
identify commonality among the ones with a problem.

Thank you for the clarification. What version of Project
(including
service pack) are you using? What options have you selected on the
Calculation tab of Tools > Options -- specifically:
"Move end of completed parts after status date back to status date"
and
"Move start of remaining parts before status date forward to status
date"

As you note, there should not be actual work in the future, nor
should
there be remaining work in the past.

After selecting Tools / Tracking / Update Project to push the
remaining Work
past the selected date (the status date, in this case), I
expected
the value
of the Remaining Work column to equal the sum of the Work in the
future in
the time phased grid. However, there are some cases where there
is
Actual
Work in the future and Work-without-matching-Actual-Work (i.e.,
remaining
work) in the past. Thus, the value in Remaining Work does not
equal
the
remaining Work in the future. Maybe this is convoluted, but it is
the case
that is occurring - and I don't see how to correct it at this
point.

Hello ProjectWoman:

Where specifically are you seeing the value "time phased
remaining
work". If I view the project summary task timephased work and
subtract the timephased actual work it equals the remaining work
for
the project as shown in the Remaining work field in the Work
table.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no field in either Project
2003
or Project 2007 which specifically shows timephased remaining
ork. -- I'm more than willing to be proven wrong however :-)
Is
this
a field in PWA?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

My question is: What can be done to resolve the problem that
the
total
Remaining Work does not equal the detail of the time phased
Remaining Work?
Surely this can't be the expected outcome!

So what's your question?

The remaining work for a task or a rollup does not equal
the
sum
of the
future work in the time phased grid. After statusing a task
(or
the entire
project), we use the Update Project function to push the
remaining work after
the status date. The status date does not fall on the
calendar
month end but
rather on a Friday of the fiscal month. The result is that
the
sum of the
weekly time phased work does not equal the Remaining Work
total
that is
displayed in the Task Remaining Work column. This means
that
the
sum of the
detail does not equal the total.
