Create or Update P6 WBS from EcoSys Cost Objects

This job will export EcoSys Cost Objects to P6 WBS. The P6 Project must already exist and by mapped to the EcoSys project using the P6 Project ID in the EcoSys Project Setup screen. This is the same mapping process described in the Project Setup section above.

P6 WBS will be created, updated, or moved within the WBS hierarchy. However, the integration does not delete WBS objects in P6 to ensure there are no unexpected changes to the P6 schedule.

The mapping between P6 WBS and EcoSys Cost Object is maintained by the "P6WBSObjectId" custom field. This field will store the P6 Object ID of the P6 WBS.

  • Connect Job: EcoSys CO to P6 WBS

  • EcoSys Action: ITG Cost Object to P6 WBS

Create or Update P6 Activity Codes from EcoSys Cost Objects

This job will export EcoSys Cost Objects to P6 Project-level Activity Codes.

The P6 Activity Code Type Name is specified by the EcoSys Connect Global Setting list: "P6Connector.CostObjectToActivityCode".

If the P6 Activity Code Type does not yet exist for the P6 Project then it will be created. The Object ID of the P6 Activity Code Type will be stored in the "P6 CBS AC Type Object Id" custom field on the EcoSys Project-level Cost Object.

P6 Activity Codes will be created, updated or moved within the hierarchy. However, the integration does not delete Activity Code objects in P6 to ensure there are no unexpected changes to the P6 schedule.

The mapping between P6 WBS and EcoSys Cost Object is maintained by the "P6WBSObjectId" custom field. This field will store the P6 Object ID of the P6 WBS.
