Baseline budget and primary baseline

Dinesh

Unless you still have the original activities that contain the budget in your new program, otherwise you cannot includes and display your original budget correctly.

In this case, is it mean that your new plan use less than the original budget. What happen to the deleted activities, are they completed or redefine as other activities. You must be very careful when deleting activities.

To revise it you can copy across the original activity that is still exist in the baseline and reset their budget and remaining.

Hope it help. When you dealing with baseline be very careful with your budget $ Q and $ Q @ completion

Dear Alex,

I am also a newbie to this Primavera enterprise forum. I would like to know the difference between Primavera Project Planner Professional (shall we call it as P4??) and P3 Enterprise or P4 and P3e are the same product???.

Cheers!!!

To my knowledge, what you mentioned is the same product. Few differents are
1. Color (their menu color and look are different)
2. Standard Report Layout
3. Field Names (Plan/Budget)

Beside the above, I do believe they are the same.

Alex

Dear Alex,

Thank you for clarifying it.

Cheers!!!

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your reply.

One more question,how can I just import the progress data like actual start, actual finish and percentage complete from the updated programme to the existing programme in the P3e.I used to do that in P3 using exporting and importing between MS Excel and P3.

Thanks & regards

Dinesh

Dear Dinesh

You can use the SDK (Software Development Kid). In combination with Excel. There’s a spreadsheet called Activity.xls that makes it (simply) possible to commumicate with your database (imput and export) However it stil isn’t as strong as P3, import/export function (for now)

Dear Planner,

There are tools that utilised SDK and ease the process of importing and exporting in P3e.

Cheers

Alex

Ofcourse Mr.Alex,I understand you can do that using SDK.do you have any tools or files that you can share with us.

I also heard we can use access database to link with P3e database and do the neccessary manupulation, has anybody tried it and have any advice.

Thank you

Dinesh

Dear Alex,

I could notice that some of a few simple things just like moving into next years in the Calendars by clicking ">>" buttons are missing in P4. I could not find it as such in P3. Do you know what is the reason of omitting this option in P4.

Daya

Dear Daynanidhy.

Clicking to the next year is still very simple.
When you’re in the calander.
First click in the month in the calander on the top.Then days will become months, and month becomes year, in the calander. You can click to the next year in one click by the ">" button next to the year.

Try to search a company call SunTech in Australia

I think they have a very good product to interface with SDK and P3e.

My problem with the time display in P3e is: it do not have year by year in the resource and time line display. I hate this, because I have to sum the four quarters in order to have th actual annual figures. It is not very good

Cheers
