問題 create task with value for TASK_ACT_WORK

    Hi,

    I am creating new task using PSI and I am assigning resource to the task of type WorkResource. Task is initialized with values for TASK_ACT_WORK and TASK_REM_WORK. However when the task is Saved and project is CheckedIn, I can see that the task no longer has value for TASK_ACT_WORK. Instead the value of TASK_ACT_WORK is added to the value of TASK_REM_WORK, and value of TASK_ACT_WORK is zero.

    Can you please explain me this behavior and how to can I create new task with actual value for TASK_ACT_WORK?

    Thanks!

    HI Martin,

    in my opinion you can add actual work only in an assignment contest and not in a task contest; in fact, usually, the resource submit actuals for his assignment. I think that this TASK_ACT_WORK's field is only the sum of all actuals values for related assingments.

    I don't know why this value that you insert go in TASK_REM_WORK, i suppose that TASK_WORK is also equal to this value because ACTUAL is 0.

    Anyway, in order you must insert new task and create assingment for this resource for this new task, you must save-publish project AND, after, submit/approve actual submitted.

    What do you think about these things? 

    I hope that this help you.

    Cheers,

    Hi Paolo,

    thanks for your reply!

    I am being able to successfully enter remaining and completed work hours as long as the task is already created. It just don't work as expected at the first time when I create the task. If I update the task with the same completed and remaining values, everything works great.

    Thanks,

    Martin
