P6 to P3 Help

Ahmed.

It is not advisable to convert project in Higher version to lower version,

Higher Ver is P6 Lower Version Is P3,

to fix the prob you may change in P6 User & Admin Prefer..setting , set Time prieod in Days. ,


Good Luck
Ahmad

you have to change the setting before converting the Project.

Thanx shahzad for your help but it didn’t fix the problem
the consultant uses P3 and we use P6 so he requested the schedule in P3 version
any other work around?
thanks again

Ahmed,
Your calender is in Hr. or day. if it is in Hr pls. change in days.

if you are using 2 diffrent calnder then .....it is big prob....

Ahmed
There are restrictions to convert P6 to P3: hierarchical codes, resources, risks, longer descriptions, etc. If those items are not included in your project: shouldn’t be a problem.
You are right with hours. If you export hours to hours - no problem. P6 internally calculates with hours.
If you export to days, a day will be calculated by the factor from your admin preferences or - if you are allowed to - from your user preferences.
E.g.: Preferences: 8 hours=1 day and activity-calendar: 10 hours=1 day will lead to 1.25days per project day.
Ask your contractor to use P6 (it’s cheaper and better) or use P3 with hours.

Thanx guys,I really appreciate your help.
The issue is the consultant uses P3 and I am the contractor planner and we use P6.
-The contract stated that the used software will be Primavera without mentioning anything abt the version and nobody noticed-
Back to my problem, I removed every thing from the schedule now,it’s only time schedule but when I export it to P3 with day as unit, it gives me different dates.
I tried to export it with Hour as unit, it gave me the same dates but OD is in hrs

So after several trials, I couldn’t find any way to make P3 convert these hours to days
Any Ideas?
THANK YOU
Ahmed
