Resource Workbench - Why can't we edit Conf/Alloc column when there are actuals hours ?

[abaron]

Hello,

What is the reason the resource manager can't edit the allocated time of a resource if there are some actual hours ?

In documentation, I don't found any explaination for this restriction.

Regards.

Hi,

In theory, if the resource is putting actuals on a specific period then that period is no longer in "Planning". If you want to have good metrics between your Planned and your Actuals, you should not be updating the plans in current periods.

You will then be able to compare what you had planned/allocated VS the actuals.
