Microsoft Project Integration

You can use Open Plan's import and export interface to import Microsoft Project .mpp files and Project Server projects.

The import facility provides a seamless integration with Microsoft's current standard data formats.

Note: Deltek does not recommend importing into the same Open Plan project from both Microsoft Project and Primavera P6 as this may cause a conflict with the MSP unique ID field.

Importing Microsoft Project or Project Server Data

You can display the first page of the Microsoft Project Import Wizard by clicking MS Project in the Import menu group of the Integration tab.

Exporting Open Plan Data to Microsoft Project or Project Server

You can export data from an Open Plan project to a Microsoft Project file or Project Server project. You can display the first page of the Microsoft Project Export Wizard by clicking MS Project in the Export menu group of the Integration tab.

Note: Before you can export a project to Microsoft Project, it must first be saved as an Open Plan project.

View Exported Data

If you want to review the data that was exported to Microsoft Project Professional or Server, add _KEEP_MSP_OUTPUT_FILES with a value of 1 to the System Preferences dialog box ( > Preferences > Application > Advanced tab). Open Plan creates .csv integration files and saves them to the Open Plan working folder, for example, Documents > Deltek > Open Plan Professional 8.2. Each file has a unique name that includes the Open Plan project name and a time stamp.

Note: If the setting is enabled, the generated .csv files will remain in the folder until you delete them (disabling the setting will not delete accumulated files). You may want to periodically delete them to keep the folder size from becoming too large.
