Dela Tab

Use this tab to view the results of Dela's evaluation of the invoice.

Note: For Costpoint Cloud, you can choose to opt in to this feature for the Costpoint 2026.2 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all users as part of a future Costpoint release. See the Manage Opt-In Features topic for more information.

Field	Description
Dela Approval Method	This field displays the default value set on the Configure Billing Settings screen. However, you can change the approval method directly on this screen. The options are: Disable (OFF): Select this option to disable automatic billing approvals. Recommend: Select this option to allow Dela to issue an approval recommendation when a bill matches the approval criteria. Enforce: Select this option to automatically select transactions.
Dela Confidence Setting	This displays the confidence level entered on the Configure Billing Settings screen. You can also edit the value directly on this screen only when you select Recommend or Enforce as the approval method. Use it to set the confidence level that Dela must meet before accepting a match between new data and historical data. You can enter a value from 70 to 100. Confidence level is based on the following criteria: Low confidence level (for example, 70): Dela will accept matches even if it is not very sure. This might result in more matches, but some could be less similar to the historical data.  High confidence level (for example, 100): Dela will accept matches only when it is very sure. This might result in fewer matches, but they will closely resemble historical data. Adjust this value based on how closely you need the results to match historical data. Higher values mean more similarity, while lower values mean more flexibility in variation.
Dela Review	This displays the outcome of Dela's review of the invoice. If the approval method is Recommend, possible outcomes are: Dela Evaluated Review Advised: The invoice is flagged for additional review due to variations. Dela Recommended: The invoice meets the approval criteria and is recommended for selection. Costpoint updates the Status field on the Invoice Details tab to UNSELECTED. If the approval method is Enforce, possible outcomes are: Dela Evaluated Manual Approval Required: Manual review and approval are required. Dela Approved: The invoice meets the approval criteria and is automatically selected by Dela. Costpoint updates the Status field on the Invoice Details tab to SELECTED.
Dela Reason	This displays the explanation on Dela's evaluation result.
Dela Reviewed Date	This displays the date Dela completed the review.
Dela User ID	This displays the user who calculated the invoice.

If Dela determines the invoice matches historical billing patterns (i.e. the Dela Review field displays either Dela Recommended or Dela Approved), users assigned to the Primary Billing Analyst (PBA) and Backup Billing Analyst (BBA) roles will receive a notification email. No notification is sent for invoices flagged for manual review.

Note: Assign PBA or BBA in the Contact ID field on the Contacts subtask of the Manage Customers screen to include contacts in the email recipients.
