    Hi Anuj,

    Did you check "Roll down, unless manually specified" in your custom task field definition? ? Timesheet shows fields on assignment level, so you need to make sure that task field values are available on assignment level. What is the service pack & version of project server?

    Also, have Team memebrs already created timesheet before the custom task field was setup? If yes, recall/delete & recreate the same to test it further?

    hi amit

    i have not selected "Roll Down,unless manually specified" checkbox,it is project server 2010

    and previously i have added those custom field in 'MY TASK',but due to certain reason,i have shifted them to MY TIMESHEET,and yes some timesheet werw created before custom fields werr created

    thanks

    Ok, In that case, did you  recall/delete & re-create the same to test it further> Since timesheet is a like a snapshot of the data so when the Timesheet was created first , the snapshot  didn't have any data of New custom field. After field creation, you may need to  recall/delete & re-create & test.

    Hi amit,

    thanx

    yes it did work,but now i am facing another problem related to it

    is it possible to track expense associated with each task in project server 2010? My situation is that

    suppose a team member is allocated a task T1 which is of Duration 5 days,now he should be able to report his expense for all the 5 days related to task T1

    For eg,During 1 day his Daily allow was 100,Travel charge was 200,Accomodation charge was 500

    During 2 day his Daily allow was 60,Travel allow was 150 etc etc

    Is it possible??
