Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Mai,
If you define WBS then the problem is the way you import it. When importing P3.x and reached to Update Project Options click Modify and check what is selected under Action. It should be Update Existing or Insert New and not Do not Import.

Mai,
I P3.1 WBS is not compulsory and most of the time using Activity Code instead of WBS. In P6 WBS is some sort of compulsory and encourage P6 user to use WBS. Check P3 files first in P3 program and organize by WBS. If no WBS define and assigned then no WBS will be imported to P6.
