TABLE OF CONTENTS Primavera Contractor Version 6.1 is based on Primavera Project Manager Version 6.1, more commonly known as Primavera Version 6.1. Primavera Contractor has had all the multi project functionality removed and also many other functions including but not limited to EPS, OBS, Roles, Issues, Risks, Cash Flow Curves and Leveling. The basic version of Primavera Contractor was limited to 750 activities per project and the Deluxe version to 2000 activities per project.
