Program Revisions Alarm

We need to migrate from P3 into P5 to work more effecient.

ulysses,



What I know is that Claim Digger isn’t available for P3 nowadays as Primavera already since P3 e/c 4.1 (and later on P5) added Claim Digger as an Add-on to the package.



Refer to this post:

http://www.planningplanet.com/forum/forum_post.asp?fid=&Cat=2&Top=5098



It will show some other tools (rather than Claim Digger) which can be used with P3.



I preferably use the method I mentioned in the other post instead of using another software to analyze the differnce between revisions (in case that I can’t get the other softwares or use the Claim Digger).

Karim,



Your method will works to a very limited scope, not like what Claim Digger does.

Hi Burley,



If u want to make sure that the contractor is not manipulating with the original contracutral schedule then one idea u can do is to export the original contractual schedule (to .wks or .wk1) and include in this export all the activities id, activities desc., OD, early start, late start, early finish, late finish and Relationships between activities.



After that do the same with the updated version of the original contractual schedule.



By using simple "If" condition (in excel) u can figure out if the contractor modified anything in the original contractual schedule without your approval.



But u must know that mostly in all contracts, the contractor is obliged to revise the original schedule (upon delay) but this has to be done clearly with the client knowledge and approval.

Hi Bur,



Frankly its hard to trace up manually, but tools like claim digger will help you a lot. In Premavera P5 this Claim Digger is already incorporated in the menu, however in P3 it doesn’t have.



use P5 instead, P3 will become obsolete soon...



Cheer
