IPMDAR Contract Performance Export Options Wizard

Use this export wizard to export cost data to an IPMDAR file.

In order to export contract performance data to an IPMDAR file, you must first select the IPMDAR Contract Performance Data option under the Publish Data To group on the Platforms (IPMDAR) page of the Deltek Acumen Options dialog box. You can export contract performance data that you have imported from Cobra or .csv formats.

The IPMDAR Contract Performance Export Options wizard entails a three-step process. The following tables describe the available fields or options to each step:
Field Description
Project Select the project that you want to export. The list includes all projects with cost data or cost-only snapshots in the workbook that were not imported from IPMDAR Contract Performance data. The field defaults to the project you selected in the Projects Pane if the project has a cost and can be exported.
Use Current Field Settings Select this option to use the existing field settings stored in the workbook.
Import Field Configuration From A File Select this option to import settings from a configuration file.
Next Click this button to select other export settings.
Cancel Click to cancel the export.
Field Description
Project This is a read-only field. It displays the project that you selected on the previous screen.
Contract If you have previously imported a list of contracts, use the drop-down to select one, or click the ellipses button and use the Manage Contracts dialog box to add or edit a contract.
Contractor If you have previously imported a list of contractors, use the drop-down to select one, or click the ellipses button and use the Manage Contractors dialog box to add or edit a contractor.
Configure Structures Click to use the Configure Structures dialog box to select WBS and OBS cost fields, among other things.
Data Options Click to use the Data Options dialog box to specify whether the data is exported by control account or work package, among other things.
Back Click this button if you need to change any selection on the previous screen.
Next Click this button to proceed to the final step.
Field Description
Export File Specify the IPMDAR file to which you want to export the data. You can enter a path and file name or click the ellipses to select a folder and file.
Append Month + Year to file name (MMMYY) Select this option to append the month and year to the file name. This is useful if you want to use the same file name every time you export because by adding MMMYY, it makes the filename unique.
Save configuration to a file Select this option to save the field settings to a file. You can enter a path and file name or click the ellipses to select a folder and file.
Back Click this button if you need to change any selection on the previous screen.
Finish When you click this button, the data is exported to the specified file. This button is enabled when all required fields have been completed.
Cancel Click to cancel the export.
