Hello All,
I work for a fairly large company here in the UK and we have been experiencing a continual problem with our Project Plans which are stored centrally on EPM servers.
We have enterprise resources allocated to the plans and tasks. I then typically modify the views to month views and allocate hours for the resources on the tasks monthly so a task may look like this:
Task - Resource - Oct - Nov - Dec - Jan - Feb
Create Plan - Project Manager - 40 - 40 - 40 - 40 - 40
What tends to happen is that somehow (without ANY plan changes being made in the intervening period) the hours profile becomes modified like so:
Create Plan - Project Manager - 28 - 42 - 38 - 44 - 42 - 6
Especially annoying when it slips the excess effort out to the subsequent month (Mar in the above example). This actually often happens to be decimal places but for the sake of the example i've kept it simple.
I've tried having the task effort driven or not, manually scheduled or auto scheduled, I don't accept timesheet actuals into the plan so they shouldn't be influencing it either. I'm out of things to try and would really appreciate it if anyone can help.
Thanks in advance.
