Need to Enter Real Subtask "Actual Work" and "Actual Finish"

I am creating a Project file by importing a CSV file. I need to be able to import both the real Actual Work hours and the real Actual Finish dates contained in the CSV file. Somehow Project ties these two together for finished Subtasks:
entering the Actual Work sets the Actual Finish. And entering the Actual Finish clears the Actual Work.
Is there a sequence to enter those for a Subtask, and display what is in the CSV file, rather than what Project wants to compute?

andyrice,
If you set the % Work Complete field to 100%, then the Actual Finish field should not be empty. Do you have automatic calculation turned off? Are you using manual scheduling mode?
For the test sequence I ran, my task type is Fixed Work. I set % Work Complete to 100%. At that point Project assumes the task finished as planned so it sets the Actual Finish date to be the Finish date and the Actual Work to equal the Work. Now you need
to adjust the work and finish date. If you simply change the value in the Actual Work field, Project will reset the % work complete if the actual work value does not equal the Work field (remember, task is fixed work). So to "replan" the task to what actually
happened, you must update the Work field with the actual work value. Finally, if the Actual Finish is not the Finish, then the Actual Finish date must be updated. Try that.
Project's scheduling equation is:
Duration = Work/Units.

Actual Work vs Actual Duration

What is the difference between Actual Work and Actual Duration?

They are completely different, even though they appear to be measured in the same units.
A task can have a duration and within that duration there may be zero work or any amount greater than zero.
Duration determines how long a task will take, since it is the time between the start and the finish of the task.
Work is usually, but not always, what it takes to get the task done, and usually, but not always, determines how much the task will cost.
Before the task starts, the duration and the work are both "scheduled". There is no actual of either, and both are remaining. After the task starts, and after some work is expended on it, it accumulates some actual duration and some actual work, and some
remaining duration and remaining work remains.
duration = actual duration + remaining duration
work = actual work + remaining work
... until all of both of them is actual and there is no remaining of either.
Duration is like the envelope. the work must occur inside the duration.
The actual work must occur inside the actual duration.
Hope this helps.

Project Versions: Plan Work and Actual Work

Hi,
Can you pls suggest me,
where can i get Project actual work and planned work from R/3.
which R/3 table will provide this information for different Project Versions.
Thes values are required against each Project version.
Your valuable inputs will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Lakshmi.

Hi,
We have the following scenario: The system does not default the Actual Duration when the Start Date, Time and Finish Date, Time are entered on the time confirmation, it should calculate the time and insert the value in the Actual Duration field.
Is it possilbe.
Regards
JF

There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.

I recently saw an ad on Facebook promoting magnetic lenses for the purpose of enhancing photos. Two questions: Do those actually work AND will the magnets harm the phone at all?

Project POC to determine actual cost and actual revenue

Dear all experts,
please help me on the following issue.
i am working on a project for sales.
the project actual cost and actual revenue will be determined by the project POC.
i have read the SAP help about project progress.
but it confused me.
my first question is how can i caculated the actual POC?
is there a standard predefined way to solve it?
please give me some hints or suggestions.
thanks a lot.
Judy

Hi,
Can anyone detail the steps involved in carrying out RA with Valuation Method 7 with progressive value analysis. Here, we can give a percentage of POC into the system as certified by the Engineers unlike Valuation method 3 where the POC is calculated on the basis of actual costs incurred.
In the case of valuation method 3, only revenue is analysed by the system with reference to the POC and necessary entries are posted as Revenue surplus or Revenue in excess of billings. Whereas in the case of valuation method 7, both the revenue and costs are analysed and necessary provisions are made both for revenue and costs.
Regards,
Judy

Im trying to listen to a book and it keeps telling me I need to enter my audible account username and password. I used my apple id and it is not working anyone know what to do?

Im trying to listen to a book we downloaded from amazon. When we click on it it says we need to enter out audible username and password. I used my apple id username and password and it says it is not correct. I reset this and used it again and it still does not work. Any ideas?

Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / View My Account then click Edit Payment Information.
Make sure the Security Code for you credit card is available and the expiration date is correct, then click Done.

I need information on how Adobe Drive works and how to set it up

Hey folks,
believe it or not, but I have been searching a lot on the web already on how to find information how Adobe Drive works and how to set it up.
Most information that I found is old and seems to be valid only for older versions of Creative suite. Here in the company we use CS5.5 and will switch to CS6 soon.
I already downloaded Adobe Drive 3 and installed it on my Mac. Unfortunately I don't know what to do next? Do I need Adobe CQ to make it work? Or can I use it with an existing SVN infrastructure, that we have here? Actually I would like to access the SVN via Adobe Bridge. But after the installation of Adobe Drive my Bridge CS5.5 is crashing while starting up, and I didn't find out how to fix this again.
Actually I just found the manual for Adobe Drive 3 and read it. Seems to be easy in case its working. But it's not in my case, as mentioned above.
Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks,
in the meantime I managed to re-setup Adobe Drive 3 again. Bridge CS5.1 is still crashing (i have a log-file with a detailed error-report, if somebody knows how to extract information from this.
At least now I can start Drive as a standalone application.
So now my main question is how to connect Drive 3 to our subversion infrastructure in the company. Does anybody have information on this?

Question on original work and actual work

Hey folks,
Sometimes the simplest things in Project befuddle me. I'm working in Project 2010 Standard. I have a whole bunch of "Fixed Work" tasks. This is a pretty simple project, and I haven't done baselines or anything like that.
So let's say I have a task, "Build X" that is was originally estimated as 4 hours of work. That is entered into the Work column.
During the project, Build X gets completed, and I learn that it only took 2 hours of work. I want to enter this into Project so that we know that:
Task "Build X" is 100% complete
The actual work was only 2 hrs
The original estimate was for 4 hrs
However, if I enter 100% into either % complete or % work complete, Project changes the Actual Work to 4 hrs, which is wrong. If I set the Actual Work to 2 hours, Project changes % complete or % work complete to 50%, which is also wrong.
Is there anything I can do here that doesn't involve baselines?
Thanks!

sbattisti,
What have you got against setting a baseline? A baseline captures your original plan. The schedule will be dynamic and as things happen Project updates that dynamic plan to reflect what really happened. So no, there is no way to do what you want without
a baseline, except perhaps of capturing the original work value in an extra field (e.g. Text1), but there's no point in doing that.
Set a baseline. That will capture "Build X" as being originally planned at 4 hours work. When you later find out that it only took 2 hours, you enter that into the Actual Work field and set the Remaining Work field to zero. That tells Project that
the task is in fact complete and it only took 2 hours. If you then display the Baseline Work field you will see that the original plan was 4 hours. You can also display Work Variance.
Hope this helps.
John
OK, thanks very much. I'll do that.
I have a follow-up question, but it's not really directly related, so I will post separately, thanks!

Error Project Server 2010, % Complete, Work and Actual Work

Hi Everyone
I have a Project Server 2010 SP2 Environment, The farm contains 3 Servers.
1 WFE, 1WebApp, 1 BD. All servers in the farm are Windows Server 2008 R2 and the Data Base Server is SQL Server 2008 R2
The Context:
The Project Managers create the Project in Project Professional 2010 SP2 for support Annual Maintenance about a software, then the team members go to my tasks in PWA to create the task inside the stage in the project, then they put the actual work, then they
send the progress to his project manager.
So, the project manager goes to the approval page to approve two times, one, the task creation and two, the progress.
So far all ok but when the project manager open the Gantt in Project Professional 2010 SP2 , the task that the team member has sent appear with a 100 percent complete, but the work with 0 hours and the actual work with 0 hours too, being that should appear
with the hours the team member has sent, that is my problem.
This occur only with this project manger and his team member, all of others project managers in the platform don't report this issue.
I already have re open the project and re publish too
So , let me know if you have some idea about this issue.

Only other ideas is to make sure the duration isn't 0, which would make it a milestone.
Have the resources, recall the timesheets and resubmit. Run it thru cycle again and see if they actual show up.
Finally, you can run SQL query and see where the data may be.
1) Check if status manager is who you think it is
2) Check if project shows actuals in sql. Doesn't explain why not showing in schedule.
cheers!

PLM table for Internal Order budget, Actual Cost and Actual Hrs

Dear all
In cProjects version 4.0, we have integration with existing ECC 6.0. We create Internal Order manually and assign it to cProjects.
One cProject having one Internal Order.
Resource Planning part is managed in cProjects while Actual Time keeping(CATS with reference to Internal Order), budgeting of Internal Order, Material and Service Procurement which is done against Internal Order is managed in ECC. ECC and PLM are separate systems.
We have RFCs established to transfer actual hrs, budget and actual cost data from ECC to PLM.
Which is the ABAP table in PLM where we get linking of cProject with Internal Order and also actual hrs, budget and actual cost data in PLM system?
Thanks & Regards
Ashish

actual hrs, budget and actual cost data in PLM system?
Its not there, actual hours can be found in DPR_Task but it needs to be transferred by running a report.
The planned cost etc is also calculated at runtime and passed on to Costing object in ECC (Int order/PS)
Actual hours will be in CATSDB in ECC
needless to say actual cost will also be there in ECC and not in PLM, PLM only displays at runtime based on RFC.
If you want to try, Break the RFC and try to check the Evaluation..

Just needed some clarification regarding the Viewer Builder and actually publishing your App...

If someone could let me know if my understanding is correct, that'd be a huge help... So I've designed my publication in InDesign and exported the .zip file from the Folio Producer. I've created all of my certificates/splash screens/icons. Lastly, I just recently went through the steps of the Viewer Builder. I'm now at the stage of this process that requires me to purchase the $395 single edition so that I can enter the serial number in the last stage of the Viewer Builder. Now, to my knowledge, once I get the serial number, Viewer Builder will then give me access to an .ipa file and a .zip file. The .ipa file is for me to test on my iPad, and the .zip would be used to distribute to the App Store. I guess this is where I get confused... Let's say after I test the .ipa on my iPad, I don't like some part of my publication. I know how to update my own documents obviously, and I understand that I would have to export another .zip file from the Folio Producer, in turn requiring me to edit the exported folio link in the Viewer Builder. If I had to do that, would I need to purchase another single edition serial number since the original App was edited? Or would the same serial number apply since I'm editing that same App in the Viewer Builder? My next question is somewhat similar. Let's say all of the information is up to date and I go ahead and publish the App to the App Store. However, maybe a month later or some time in the future, I needed to update a phone number or email address--some little detail like that. Again, I understand that I'd have to update the export link in the Viewer Builder, but would I then need to create a new app since my app was already published? Would I then have to purchase another $395 single edition serial number just so that I can update my information? This seems to be the only thing in this whole process that I could use some clarification on so that I don't run into any surprises in the future. Any help would be great, thanks!

Hi Joshua,
When you have purchased the serial, you can rebuild your app with your updated content, as long as you use the same bundleID (applicationID), that is tied to your Apple mobile provisioning profile. The serial number is valid for a one year period.
After you have submitted your app to Apple and it has been approved, please read: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4172167#4172167
