Hi all,
We have a rather large WBS that currently exists in Excel. We need to add this WBS to Primavera for several reasons, one of which is communication to our Project Management system (Prism). I am *not* interested in manually keying the WBS into the system, but according to POINT importing the WBS isn’t "possible".
Has anyone found a workaround or solution??? Is there someway that we can transfer the data?

Oldest first- 0Tony Scott ·Richard,
I spent a bit of time playing with the P3 tools to import the WBS (it is amazing how quickly one forgets P3!), but was hoping for a better solution (to avoid some truncation that will be necessary for P3s limits). I hadn’t really considered MS Project, but that might be an acceptable method.
I’m dumbfounded that importing the WBS is such an ordeal - one would think that Primavera could have anticipated that request!
Thanks a lot!
Tony - 0Tony Scott ·It has been a very difficult transition for our team from P3 to P5 (soon to P6). Some of the "advances" that are being touted for P6, I have yet to see working in our environment. The concept of construction guys entering their progress and their own activities into the master schedule may sound good, but has anyone checked with the construction guys???
