SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, when you change the value of Work or Actual Work for a summary task's resource assignment, the units for that summary task's resource assignment are recalculated.

CAUSE

A summary task's Start and Finish dates are defined by the tasks indented under the summary task. When you change the Work or Actual Work for a summary task's resource assignment, the Start and Finish dates for the summary task can not change; therefore, Microsoft Project recalculates the Units of the resource.
