budget manhours, when first assigned, are spread across the right of the data date -ie in the future.
You choose how it is spread (evenly, front-loaded, etc) by selecting the appropriate resource curves
How remaining units is calculated depends on the activity type (fixed units, fixed units/time, etc)
There is an Auto Compute Actuals option you can set. This updates the programme automatically, assuming everything has happened precisely as planned. This of course, makes it entirely pointless -you may as well just get a copy of the baseline prrogramme and tip-ex over the date.
All of this (apart from my rather jaundiced view of auto-update features) is in the e-manual that comes with the software -Youre probably best off reading that and having a play on a dummy project.
