Suresh,

You must save a copy of your plan, then assign it as a baseline.

This way the baseline planned dates will stay the 17th September and when the data date is moved your current plan will say 18th September.

Comparing the two plan allows EVA.

Hi.

If you set "Duration" in Complete type and check "Auto compute actual" option in resource definition, your actual labor unit/cost will automatically calculated based on Duration % complete.

Then you do not have to use "Apply actual" function or Timesheet.

Thanks

Hi Suresh

Data Date is one of the most important date of your schedule: all events before DD DID happen, all events on or later than DD are planned.

If you have an activity planned for (early start) Sep. 17, no actual start exists, and your DD is Sep. 18, the earliest possible start is Sep. 18 - thus early start will be Sep.18 after F9.

DD always is the status of your projects actuals. I assume that the status of your project is not Sep 18, but an earlier date. So set DD to an earlier date and it will be ok.

Regards

Dieter
