Background Information
A local resource is any project resource not listed in
the Enterprise Resource Pool. Project managers may need to use local resources
in a project to represent temporary resources, such as consultants or
contractors, who will not use the Project Web Access timesheet reporting system.
The incorrect use of local resources in an enterprise
project is problematic, and results in a Spooler error each time the project
manager attempts to publish resource assignments in Microsoft Project
Professional. Refer to the following link for more information about the Spooler
error:
