Future Period Planning: Importing and Exporting Data
Importing and exporting edited future period values using Primavera XML files.
When you export a project to a Primavera XML file, edited future period values are exported to the file.
When you import a Primavera XML file to a project, all edited future period values that exist in the project remain intact.
Importing and exporting edited future period values using Microsoft Project XML format.
You can import and export edited future period values to Microsoft Project XML 2007 and Microsoft Project XML 2010 format.
When you export a project to Microsoft Project XML format:
- Edited future period values are imported to Microsoft Project as a contoured curve.
- For assignments to activities with suspend and resume dates, Microsoft Project honors the suspend and resume dates and spreads the planned unit values accordingly in the Baseline Work field. However, because P6's actual units and remaining early units are combined into Microsoft Project's Actual Work field, Microsoft Project only honors actual and remaining values up to the suspend date, if the resume date is after the data date or up to the data date if both the suspend and resume dates are before the data date.
- WBS Summary activities with eduted future period values on assignments are exported to Microsoft Project. However, the edited future period values are not exported. In MSP, the total budgeted or planned and remaining unit values for assignments to WBS Summary activities are spread linearly across the duration of the assignment.
Suspend and resume dates in Microsoft Project are not honored when imported to P6. When you import an Microsoft Project file that has an activity with suspend and resume dates, the suspend time is imported as a zero value on the assignment for the periods between the suspend and resume dates.
