SYMPTOMS
If you use the Edit Actuals command on the Task Properties Tracking tab to
enter actual work for a person on a task, and if you select a date range
that overlaps another date range or is before it, you may receive the
following error message:
The work periods for actual dates must be entered in
ascending order.
RESOLUTION
To enter actual work that is out of sequence, or to update actual work on
days that already contain actual work, use the Actual Work view as follows:
- Click the Tasks tab, and from the view banner list, select Actual Work.
- Near the upper-right corner of the window, move the timescale slider to
the leftmost position so format the timescale for weeks over days.
- For each task that the person works on, double-click the task folder
icon in front of the task name to display the assignment rows.
- In the grid under the timescale, for each of the person's assignments,
enter the correct actual work for the appropriate days.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
