Data Import — Actual Costs

Cobra is very flexible in terms of loading actual costs. You can select the level at which they are captured.

If actual costs are loaded from an import file, you select the charge number identifier, whether or not the file is cumulative-to-date, and so on.

Cobra offers a wide variety of options related to the entry of actual costs for a project.

  • You can enter actual costs either at the control account or work package level.
  • The actual costs can link to one or many of the control account fields, or the work package field, or any code assignment.
  • You can import actual costs into a master project and the values are posted to the subproject.
  • Files can contain either cumulative or current period costs.

This section contains information about creating an actual cost import file, entering actual costs using both import files and manual procedures, and using the Integration wizard to import actual costs.
