Unfortunately, many planners use only the WBS as it is very easy and intuitive, but once you start tailoring the schedule, printing for a different purpose and audience, in a way that make a sense to them, activity codes should be used as Primavera only permits one WBS per project. Primavera P6 has very strong activity codes capabilities. Now, with a new layout the schedule is organized by activity codes. The WBS is now transfered to the L1-L5 project activity codes. Import the updated export file back to P6. In the Excel file, there is sample vlookup sheet to show how the formula works. Use a Vlookup formula to retrieve the values of L1, L2, е…ѓ, L4, L5 from the excel sheet Activity codes per Activity. Select the newly defined activities codes (L1-L5) as columns in your layout.

It means every level must have the same exact number of characters. Make sure that your WBS structure is well organized (*).
