As part of our Maintenance Plan we need to add a list of about 7000 new activity codes from an excel file to Primavera 5 SP6. Is there any other easier way apart from importing into Suretrak, P3 and then Primavera 5or copying and pasting individual codes from excel to Primavera 5. Does Primavera 5 have any functionality to batch import and add multiple new activity codes (in our case 7000). Any ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated.
