In order to analyze the underlying schedule data, SmartPM™ treats schedule constraints as follows:

Primavera P6 XER Constraints

  • Finish On or After - Milestone only imported and converted to a start constraint
  • Finish on or Before - Always ignored
  • Mandatory Start - Always included / imported
  • Mandatory Finish - Milestone only imported but converted to a start constraint
  • Start On - Always included / imported
  • Start On or After - Always included / imported
  • Start On or Before - Always ignored
  • External Dates – Converted to a Start Constraint

  • Start No Earlier Than - Imported as long as not the same as the data date
  • Must Start On - Imported as long as not the same as the data date
  • Finish No Earlier Than - Milestone only imported and converted to start constraint
  • Must Finish On - Milestone only imported and converted to start constraint
  • Manually Scheduled Tasks - SmartPM™ creates a start constraint on the task
