Actual Cost Import File

Actual cost import files can be used to import actual cost data into Cobra.

Use an actual cost import file to import actual cost data into Cobra through the Integration Wizard.

Cobra provides the following options for import files that contain actual costs:
  • 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.
  • Files can include optional fields related to import dates and cost classes.
  • You can either write a query to extract data from your accounting system, write a report that creates a CSV file, or extract data from a data warehouse.
  • Files can be in one of two data formats.
