Primavera P3 error message #88

Hello everyone. 

I am having a recurring problem with my P3. It keeps coming up with the error message "Problem opening project file ####REL.P3, reason #88"

Has anyone had this problem before or does anyone know how to fix it? I've tried restarting my machine and it still comes up. 

Thank you very much!

Budgeted Cost

Hi guys!

Just want to seek any advice/solution on my problem regarding Budgeted Cost in P3.

I got a cost loaded program. It has Budgeted Costs however, when i checked the Data for Resources, I noticed that the Price/Unit for each Resource is 0. This is very odd because there is total cost for each activity but  the price/unit of any resources it has is 0. This Budgeted Cost which I have displayed is not a Custom Data, as I checked.

Any same experience I am having? Please advise.

Thanks,

Ariel

Copying a Project

Hi Guys!

Some help please...

I have no idea why I can't copy a project in my P3. The error always says "Invalid Project Name". No project Group and Project name is 4 characters. So, what i used to do is to copy the folder containing the project and rename it just to copy the project.

Any sort of advice & solutions...

 

Thanks,

 

Ariel

converting P6 primavera to a Suretrak native file (.stx or .prx)

A
Andy Cabral 👤 Member for 14 years 10 months

How can I convert/export a Primavera P6 project into a Suretrack native file (.stx or .prx) file. 

I have tried exporting the file to a P3 but I get several individual files (6-8 files) my client doesn't want serveal .xer files but just one sole .stx or .prx file.  Unfortunately, I am not provided with this option and would like to see if any of you can provide me with any help.

We have the latest version which is P6 primavera.

Thank you,

Project Management and Operations Management

C

Operations are an organizational function performing the on-going execution of activities that produce the same product or provide a repetitive service. Examples include: production operations, manufacturing operations, and accounting operations. Though temporary in nature, projects can help achieve the organizational goals when they are aligned with the organization's strategy. Organizations sometimes change their operations, products, or systems by creating strategic business initiatives.

P3 Actual/Forecast Cost

A
Ahmed KHR 👤 Member for 15 years 6 months

Dear planners;

I need to make the forecast cost histogramme for the schedule, but I am not sure how?

So, I have to make the update on the % progress cost (Actual Cost/Budgeted Cost Quantities) and P3 generate automaticaly the forecast Costs?

OR I have to update the actual Costs and P3 calculate the forcast progress.

 

Is there any possibilities to keep the progress on 0% (Project start day), and make this job?

 

Your help will be appreciated.
