XML import failure

MSP to P6 never works well, its not the XML file format, its just the difference in the two applications. If its something you need to do often, I recommend looking into a Ms PRoject plugin called XER Transfer as the best option.

Hi Rodney,

Common error for importing MSP Project coverted to XML file is due to one of the following:

  • Long File name that exceed to P6 Project ID - P6 behavior when importing MSProject file is use the File name as project id.
  • Long Description - MSProject Task Description is used to WBS description Group task and Activity name for Task. These description should not exceed than 100 character or less for WBS.
  • Resource assign to WBS or Task Group
  • Link to WBS or Task Group

If you can share the MSP file to me, I can easily check the issue for you.
