Applies To

Project Professional 2016 Project Standard 2016

This article describes update KB3115105 for Microsoft Project 2016, which was released on May 3, 2016. This update has a prerequisite.

Be aware that the update on the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home. (How to determine?)

Improvements and fixes

A better translation of the following messages is now available for the Japanese language. These messages appear when a user tries to edit the name of an enterprise resource within their project:
- Changes to enterprise resources will be lost.
- You can modify an enterprise resource in a project for modeling purposes and publishing the project will include any changes. Your changes will be overwritten when the project is next opened.
A user with security permission can modify the attributes of this resource by checking out the resource with the Open Enterprise Resource Pool command.
Fixes the following issues:
- Assume that you use a task template that has cost resources assigned to create a project in Project Web App. When you open the project in Project 2016, Project 2016 crashes.
- In some cases, a task's % Complete displays 99% even though the % Work Complete on all the assignments on the task shows 100%.
- When you apply a group to a checked-out enterprise view in Project 2016, Project 2016 may crash.
- Consider the following scenario:
  - You have an enterprise resource that's assigned to a project.
  - You change the booking type for the resource.
  - You save and then open the project again.
  In this situation, the booking type property isn't saved.
- The ZoomTimescale Visual Basic Applications method ignores the duration parameter for the Timeline view in Project 2016. Therefore, you can't force the timeline view to zoom to a specific range.
- Consider the following scenario:
  - A team member is assigned to a task that begins on Monday.
  - The task is published to the team member.
  - The team member opens their timesheet and enters actual work on Wednesday.
  - The team member submits their timesheet.
  - The project manager approves the status update from the team member.
  In this situation, the task still shows that it begins on Monday instead of Wednesday.
- When a summary task is viewed in the task inspector, the subtasks aren't listed.
- Consider the following scenario:
  - A user enters time phased actual work on an assignment and submits the work for approval.
  - The status manager approves the update.
  - The user changes the assignment start date and then submits the change.
  - The status manager approves the update.
  In this scenario, the time phased actual work may move to another date.
- If you use the Assign Resources dialog box to replace one resource with another resource, the total work value displayed in the Resource Usage view isn't always updated correctly.
- Setting actual cost for cost assignments on tasks doesn't always calculate the correct progress as expected. This issue occurs when the assignment is the only resource on the task.
- When you delete a resource from a split task, the split task is deleted unexpectedly.
- When you import a project from an XML file, timephased baseline work isn't imported correctly. For example, on an assignment, the baseline cost values over a 10-day period are as follows:
  2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 8h, 8h, 8h, 8h. When it's imported, the values change to 2h, 6h, 6h, 6h, 6h, 6h, 6h, 6h, 6h.
