project task - bizarre calculation of total hours

[Ferdinand]

total hours computation
IMHO remaining hours should only be added if these are positive.

and yes - the planned hours should be reevaluated to avoid negative remaining hours.

Hello Dr Ferdinand,

I have checked your issue but it is not a bug.

I think may be you have misunderstand something, If your 'Time Spent" (working hours) is greater then the planned hours then Remaining Hours will be always in negative because

 Planned Hours = Time Spent + Remaining Time

Form your scenario you have planned 8 hours than you have worked 14 hours so Remaining Hours will become -6 and which is correct.
Time Spent (14) + time remaining (-6) = (8)Planned Hours.

So Currently I am closing this issue.
Hope this will help for you.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.

OpenERP must not deduct negative remaining horus from "Total hours" -

[Amit Parik (amit-parik)]

Hello,

As per the related new "Opinion" from subscriber I need more clarification for implementation of this (putting some restriction for negative remaining hours).

Currently I am setting this as an "Opinion".

@Experts: Would you please share your views on this.

Thanks and more suggestions are welcomed..!!

May be we should have these fields to be clear
* Hours Spent
* remaining hours (positive or negative)
* Total Planned Hours = Hours Spent + positive remaining hours

Calculating the Total Time with negative remaining hours results in a mess, please change it.

+1 for "Total Planned Hours = Hours Spent + positive remaining hours"
