From: Robert on 25 Oct 2005 10:50 Under Server configuration on PWA there are two settings: "Allow master projects to be saved to Microsoft Project Server " and "Allow master projects to be published to Microsoft Project Server." How are these different. I thought saving the project was publishing. Or are they referring to publishing assignments? -- R. Shigley Thermadyne
From: Chris Marriott on 25 Oct 2005 11:31 Hi Robert Allow master projects to be saved to Microsoft Project Server Selecting this option allows projects that have other projects inserted to be saved to the project server Allow master projects to be published to Microsoft Project Server Selecting this option allows project that have other projects inserted and have been saved to the project server to be published to the Project Web Access tables - making them available in the Project Centre and Project Detail views As an aside - saving master projects to the project server creates double accounting and except in unusual circumstances should be avoided. There is not such a need to save master projects with the correct application of outline codes. I hope this helps -- Regards Chris Marriott UK - EPM Consultant & Trainer "Robert" wrote: > Under Server configuration on PWA there are two settings: > > "Allow master projects to be saved to Microsoft Project Server " > and > "Allow master projects to be published to Microsoft Project Server." > > How are these different.

From: Dale Howard [MVP] on 25 Oct 2005 11:52 Chris and Robert -- I do not believe that saving master projects in the Project Server database causes the double-booking of assignments. The source of the double-booking is the publishing of master projects. To be absolutely safe, however, you can save a master project as an .mpp file to keep it out of the Project Server database entirely. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

From: Chris Marriott on 25 Oct 2005 12:18 I dont want to get double accounting and duplicate publishing confused. You will experience double accounting e.g. two entries for the same cost if you save a master project - e.g. contains another enterprise project. I agree you will only experience duplicate assignments if you publish a master plan -- Regards Chris Marriott UK - EPM Consultant & Trainer "Dale Howard [MVP]" wrote: > Chris and Robert -- > > I do not believe that saving master projects in the Project Server database > causes the double-booking of assignments.

Chris -- I'm struggling with where you have seen the double accounting of project costs when you save a master project in the Project Server database. I cannot confirm this in either Microsoft Project Professional or in Project Web Access, but then again, maybe I'm not looking in the right places. I have created a simple master project consisting of only two subprojects. When I open the master project, I don't see double accounting in either a task view or resource view. If I open either of the subproject alone, I still don't see the double accounting. Please guide me where I can see the double accounting of project costs, either in Microsoft Project Professional or in PWA. Thanks! -- Dale A.
