I would like to know if a resource is allocated let say 100 hrs on the task with 10% Tolerance so means he can book upto 110 hrs however he had book 150hrs which is now 40hrs over booking. So in that case should RM/PM go and update the -40 under the “Your revised column” or a resource has to put -40 hours.

In a nutshell can someone help me understand the use case of that column with real time scenarion

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

@PiyushS - The “Your Revised Estimate” column on the timesheet is for the ability of the resource to advise if they need more or less hours, but it will not impact what was approved or already used. This column is used at the end of the week to say “Instead of 30 hours remaining I need 45” or “Instead of 30 hours this will only take me 10 more hours”.  It has a direct impact on Remaining Effort but will not change what the resource has already expended. 

So if the resource tracked 150 hours total at the end of last week then there would be no action for them to take this week in that column unless they need additional hours due to more work needing to be done. 

Hope that help
