Data mappings for the Project Management module and Microsoft

Project (MSP)
The following tables describe the data exchange mapping between the Project
Management module and Microsoft Project. Although the data mapping between both
products is as close as possible for the purpose of import/export, the Project
Management module was not designed to be another Microsoft Project. Therefore,
some information may be lost when importing and exporting.
