Use this interface to transfer costs and/or hours, including burden and fee, from Deltek Costpoint® (labor and non-labor transactions) to MS ProjectÔ. The interface collects and stages data from Costpoint, and transfers the data to MS Project using the object library of that software.
To transfer project data from Costpoint to MS Project using MS Project's object library:
Gather Costpoint data using the Gather/Prepare screen.
Use the View Gathered Data screen to view previously gathered data for the transfer from Costpoint to MS Project.
Use the Microsoft Project screen to export gathered data from Costpoint to MS Project.
Complete the following before using the interface:
Set up projects in Costpoint
You should set up projects and tasks in MS Project; however, the interface will create them for you. (The Costpoint Project ID becomes the WBS in MS Project for mapping purposes. The difference is that the MS Project WBS is right-justified and the Costpoint Project is left-justified. When you set up project and tasks in MS Project manually, you must enter the Costpoint project ID in the WBS column of MS Project. )
You must set up resources at least at the project level in MS Project. The setup process of the interface will map those resources to Costpoint resources. The Update processing will assign those resources to any task existing in MS Project with hours/costs.
