(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Hi,
When an activity is Started and a Physical % applied (eg 80%), I F9, and the Actual Labor Units remain at zero.
When I look in the Resources tab of the Activity Details window the Units % Complete is also zero. If I manually adjust the Units % Complete the Actual Labor Units then adjust correctly.
My settings are:
Act Type: Task Dependent
Dur Type: Fixed Duration & Units
% Complete Type: Physical
What other settings would be likely tyo be causing this problem?
Thanks very much
Dave

yeah I think I said that but there is mote to that than just that other setting to adjust
Hi David,
try updating the duration percent, it will drive the actual untis to change automatically.
If the setting is physical percent, always you have to manually input the actual values.

at the project level make sure that you project is open and highlighted
on the calculations tab make sure that on the right under resource assignments that when updating actual units or costs that Subtract Actual from at completion is checked
make sure that re-calculate actual units and cost when duration % complete changes
make sure that Link actual and actual this period units and costs is checked
The problem here is that you are using physical % complete and updating actuals is based on duration % complete
you have 3 options
option #1 change the % complete type to Duration
option #2 run a global change
where Physical % complete is not equal to 0
then Duration % Complete = Physical % complete
Then on the right select Change
Then in the lower right select Commit Changes
option #3 update them manually as you are doing now
