- Sync To Protected Actuals. Project gives an 'out of sync' message and the actuals. I really don't want to go through an incident ticket process with Microsoft.

Robert - This option is only used if you organization uses the Managed Time Periods feature in Project Server 2007 and sychronizes the project data with the data in PWA. The Managed Time Periods feature, by the way, prevents project managers from manually entering progress in the Microsoft Project plan, except for Milestone tasks. Hope this helps.

But you must also select the 'Restrict updates to Project Web Access' option and the 'Time entry by Timesheet only; Users will sync to update tasks' option on the Task Settings and Display page in PWA. When you select the first option, you prevent project managers from manually entering progress against tasks in their Microsoft Project plan, except for Milestone tasks. This means that all progress must come from PWA. When you select the second option, resources enter time and task progress on the My Timesheet page, and then import the progress to the My Tasks page by clicking the Import Timesheet button. After a resource imports timesheet data to the My Tasks page, the resource cannot edit time on the My Tasks page. That is what constitutes Managed Time Periods. When you have Managed Time Periods enabled, the PM can use the 'Sync to protected actuals' feature to make sure that he/she has not accidentally entered actual progress in the Microsoft Project plan, but instead, has accepted all progress into the project from PWA.
