Master Project Versus Individual Projects
You may extract a single actual cost import file from your accounting system and load that file into a master project instead of creating a different actual cost import file for each project.
The Integrate Actual Cost process will look at the sub-projects assigned to the master project and load the actual costs into the individual sub-project when processing the master file.
You have several options. If you have a unique charge number across all projects, you may use either a control account field, combination of the control account fields, or a code on the control account or work package as the unique charge number to identify where the actual costs are to be loaded. Alternatively, you may include the Cobra project name in the file. If you select a master project in the Integration Wizard, the Project option will be displayed on the Field Mapper page.
