SCHEDULING & P6 — GANTT CHART

Construction Scheduling & P6 Integration

Gantt Chart, Critical Path, Earned Value Metrics & Primavera P6 Sync

constra_schedule brings professional construction scheduling into Odoo. Connect directly to Primavera P6 via session, OAuth2, or Basic auth, or import any .xer export file with the built-in wizard — no P6 licence needed on the Odoo side.

The OWL Gantt chart shows critical path in red, progress bars, and earned value metrics (SPI/CPI). Tested with 2,600+ activities from a live UAE project.

Compatible with Odoo Community Edition and Odoo.sh.

CONSTRA Schedule - Gantt Chart

Integrated Suite — Modules Depend on Each Other

CONSTRA is a single construction ERP suite for Odoo. Apps share projects, cost data, documents, and site workflows. Several modules require other CONSTRA modules to be installed (for example, constra_docs depends on constra_base and constra_projects; constra_viewer depends on constra_base and constra_ops). Install the umbrella app CONSTRA — Construction ERP Suite (constra_core) to deploy the full suite with all dependencies resolved automatically.

CONSTRA module technical names:

  • constra_core — CONSTRA Construction ERP Suite (suite installer)
  • constra_base — CONSTRA Base (technical foundation)
  • constra_projects — Constra Projects Home (projects & dashboard)
  • constra_finance — Construction Finance
  • constra_hse — Construction HSE & Safety
  • constra_ops — Construction Operations
  • constra_schedule — Construction Scheduling & P6 Integration
  • constra_maint — Equipment & Maintenance
  • constra_docs — Construction Document Register
  • constra_viewer — CONSTRA Document Viewer & Annotation

Companion modules included in the full suite installer: bb_doc_controller, bb_ipc_contracts.

Planning & integration

CONSTRA scheduling and P6 integration
Primavera XER import

Upload .xer files — preview first, then import

Export a schedule from Primavera P6 Professional or EPPM as a flat .xer file, then open Import Primavera XER from the Odoo Project app or from Project Scheduling → Projects. Choose your Odoo project, upload the file, and run Preview to validate WBS rows, activities, and dependencies before committing. Use Import to create schedule projects, WBS elements, and activities with planned and actual dates, duration, progress, status, and predecessor/successor relationships — no live P6 connection required on the server.

CONSTRA — Primavera XER import wizard (upload and options)

Step 1 — Source & options

Select the target Odoo project, attach the .xer file, and toggle what to bring in: replace existing schedule data, WBS structure, activities, dependency links, and dates/durations.

CONSTRA — XER import preview grid before import

Step 2 — Preview

Review parsed rows (project, WBS, tasks, dependencies) and summary counts before running the final import. Large files show the first preview rows with totals for WBS blocks, activities, and links.

  • Imported data includes: project metadata, WBS hierarchy, activities (codes, names, types), planned and actual start/finish, duration, percent complete, activity status, and dependency relationships (as predecessor/successor text on activities).
  • No live P6 API required for XER: ideal when planners send you an exchange file — subcontractors and JV partners can load schedules without Oracle connectivity on your Odoo server.
  • Works alongside API sync: keep P6 Connections for automated pulls when you have server access; use XER when you only have a file drop.

Professional Scheduling Inside Odoo

constra_schedule bridges the gap between Primavera P6 and Odoo. Planners maintain their schedules in P6 while the rest of the team sees Gantt charts, critical path, and earned value metrics directly inside Odoo.

The XER import wizard reads any .xer file exported from P6 Professional or EPPM. No Primavera licence is required on the Odoo server. A 3-step wizard previews activity counts and date ranges before importing.

The OWL Gantt chart renders SVG bars at any resolution with day, week, and month zoom levels. Critical path activities show in red. Milestones appear as diamonds.

Easy to Use

3-step XER import wizard. Upload, preview, confirm. No P6 expertise needed in Odoo.

Fully Integrated

Connected to CONSTRA Projects dashboard and all construction modules.

15+ Yrs Support

Built by Binary Bridge Technology with 15+ years of ERP expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a P6 licence to use constra_schedule?

No. XER import reads any .xer file. You only need P6 on the machine that exports the file. Odoo needs no P6 licence.

How often does P6 sync run?

Manual via Sync button. Automatic sync via Odoo cron is configurable to run at your preferred interval.

Can the Gantt be exported to PDF?

Use browser print/PDF for now. Native PDF export is planned for a future release.

Does it support baseline vs current comparison?

Baseline dates are stored per activity. Visual baseline bars are planned for a future update.

What is the activity limit?

Tested at 2,600+ activities from a live UAE construction project. Performance depends on server hardware.
