How to upload a set of Activity Codes?

Hi All,

 

I have created some Activity Codes to be assigned for accounting purposes. The first stage was easy as there were only 8 groups and maybe 5 or 6 codes within each group.

Sample: Code Value Description

2 Tailings/BPF Area  2.1 C-12394-01-02-05-07  2.2 C-12394-01-02-05-06  2.3 C-12394-01-02-04-04  2.4 C-12394-01-02-05-07  2.5 C-12394-01-02-05-07  2.6 C-12394-01-02-06-03  2.7 C-12394-01-02-04-06 but now the request is to expand the listing and groupings to an additional level as below:2 2Tailings/BPF Area2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1Bulk Earthworks BPF area2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.1Bulk excavation of BPF pad & roads areas to subgrade - spoil to material to Water treatment plant area (Subject to remeasure against actual)2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.2Excavate and trim Drain A2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.3Excavate and trim Drain B2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.4Supply, Place, Compact and trim pavement to BPF Pad & roads2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.5Supply & Installation of culverts & head walls to Drain A & B2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.6Supply, place geofabrics & rock works to Drain A & Drain B outlets2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.7Supply and installation drain A Gabion wall2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.8Form road side safety bunds2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.9Excavate, form and pour concrete spoon drain2.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.10Drainage bund at CV10972.1C-12394-01-02-05-062.1.11Supply and Installation of conduit services (Subject to remeasure against actual)

How can I upload the codes spreadsheet?

Hi Rodel,

Yes, I was thinking about SDK last night. I have created an odbc to my dB but haven't yet explored the connection any further than running some basic queries.

Xer parser has been difficult to run, I think I had to go back to excel v10 or something but I do have the codes already in Excel.

Excellent ideas, thanks mate, I'll let you know how I go.

There are two options that you can use.

1) Option 1 - Using SDK (excel) - you can import/ upload Global, EPS or Project if you have SDK setup on your machine.

2) Option 2 - Using XER Builder/ parser - You need to have a deep knowledge on P6 database to do this. You can build your Activity codes library Global, EPS or Project by creating XER with Activity Codes library
