Exported Cost Data File

The output file created after running the Cost Data wizard depends on the format you select on the Project and Format page.

  • If you select Deltek Common Data, the Cost Data wizard generates the DCDE file, a proprietary Deltek format that can be read by Acumen and wInsight. For example: DEMO ADVANCED.DCDE
  • If you select IPMDAR - Contract Performance Format, the Cost Data wizard generates a ZIP file with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) files that are compliant to the new IPMDAR contractor-reporting format.
    Note: Deltek recommends that you run the validation tool provided by the government before you submit the IPMDAR file.
