I am very new to project controls, Primavera, and MS Project. I have been asked to check into exporting a schedule into MS Project so a user can adjust dates and % complete himself, then import the schedule back into P3e.
The things I have run into so far:
-P3 won’t accept the activity ID from P3e. I can save the activity ID into a text1 field during the P3e to .MPX export and I can tell the system not to import the line numbers when pulling form the MPX back into P3e, but then I can’t seem to mak the activity code back tot he right spot. The system just assigns a totally new one.
- When I export to an mpx from P3 and then without changing anyhting, import it back in, the WBS is all screwy.
Has anyone succesfully done this? Is there some tool that would allow this to work?
