In the Customizing project manager you can use the upload/download function to load implementation project data from the R/3 System into your PC. The data is tranferred in MPX format. See below (Further Information) for details of the data structure.
You can upload the data you changed on the PC back into the R/3 System. Only changes to fields in the4 status screen (not changes to the project structure) are uploaded.
Project scenarios
Two basic project scenarios are envisioned for this function:
Notes:
To view data exported to MS Project, use the MS Project 'Export' table. If data is subsequently to loaded back into the R/3 system, changes made in MS Project should be saved as MPX.
Use the 'Export' table structure. If all the available fields in the Status screen are to be used, the '%COMPLETE', 'REMAINING-WORK', and 'TEXT2' should be included in the 'Export' table.
Use the same date format in MS Project as in the R/3 System.
