Project Server 2010 - Time entry issue on the Tasks page

Question

Hi,

I have a time entry issue for a few users in PWA 2010 - the Tasks page.  The users log time against a task and as soon as they move out of the cell, the time they just logged shifts back a day. 

For example, Resource A logs 3 hours on 3/12/2012 against Task A.  As soon as they move to log time against Task B or C, the time they just logged on Task A shifts to 3/11 and 3/12 displays 0 hours.  If they log time against a task at the beginning of the week, it simply just disappears and It doesn't move into the previous period.  Any idea what might be causing this? 

Thanks!

I suspect it could be related to this issue: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2011/09/02/project-server-why-do-my-date-selections-lose-a-day.aspx

Hi Prasanna,

Thanks for the reply!  After a bit of playing around, it appears that changing the scheduling type of the tasks in the project file to auto scheduled fixes the issue.  Sometimes it works when just the task that is having the problem is changed to autoscheduled, other times it requires all the tasks in the project file to be changed over to autoscheduled.  I am not sure why the scheduling type is causing this behaviour or why changing it to autoscheduled is fixing the issue. 

At least it's a repeatable workaround to the issue.

Anyone else experience this issue or know what might be the root cause?
