    P6 V8.2 Optional and Professional Client will import.

    • XER, which is Primavera's file type for importing and exporting
    • Primavera XML, similar to XER but only one project at a time may be imported,
    • P3
    • MSP XML format
    • MPP if you have only an earlier version of MSP, 2003 and earlier,  as later versions disable the MPP import
    • XLS

    Just remember, any column

    Just remember, any column with an asterick will not import back into the software.  I have been creating a user text, user integer or use rnumber column and importing things into it as a work around for some scenarios.  This works well for a limited number of items.  Does anyone understand the logic in the "Autocost Rules" for P6?  I have not found a concise definition of these rules written down.  Am I overlooking this information?  Thanks, Adam
