Converting Activity Codes to WBS in P6

Hi all,

Is there a way to convert Activity Codes to WBS in P6. I have searched and some people suggested to use SDK. First i dont know what SDK is and i dont have that too? 

I would appreciate if anyone could suggest the easiest way to convert.

 

Thanks,

Naveed

select update project list 

then select your project

then select GET Activity Codes

now copy these codes

now open the wbs.xls file

and type in the password

select update project list 

then select your project

you install sdk then you use the excel spreadsheet. Then sdk bridges the gap or is the interface between the spreadsheet and P6.

So in the spreadsheet you can select your project and you have the get button and the set button

the get button is like export in p6 and the set button is like the import function in p6

so you use the get button to export your info from p6 change it or populate it then you select set to import it back into p6  

you can do this for several different categories.

sdk stands for software development kit this come with p6. Almost every program as a sdk that they make available to developers of other software in this case sdk will be used inconjunction with excel.
