Import Cost Data from Work Authorization Documents (WAD)

Use the Import Cost Data wizard to import cost data from Work Authorization Documents (WAD).

Note: In order to import cost data from a WAD, you must first select the Deltek Cobra / Cost Data and WAD option on the Platforms (Deltek) page of the Deltek Acumen Options dialog box.

To import cost data from a Work Authorization Document (WAD):

  1. On the S1 // Projects tab, if you want the imported data to be added to an existing project or snapshot, select that project/snapshot in the Projects pane before starting the Import wizard. If you do not want the data added to an existing project, skip this step.
  2. On the S1 // Projects tab, do one of the following:
    • In the Projects pane, right-click on the project and select Import Cost Data.
    • In the Get External Data From menu group, click Cost Data > Cost Data.
  3. On the first page of the Import Cost Data wizard, select Import Work Authorization Documents (WAD).
  4. If you selected a project in the Projects pane before starting the Import wizard, the Add data to selected project/snapshot option is automatically selected. If you do not want the imported data to be added to the selected project, clear the option.
  5. Click Next
  6. Browse to and select the work authorization document and click Next. The file that you import must have a .xls or .xlsx extension.
  7. Select the worksheet that contains the WAD information.
  8. Select the WAD column that matches the cost project control account ID and click Finish.

Acumen imports the cost data. The import progress displays at the bottom of the window.
