Export eProcurement Items and Line Charge Types

Use the Export eProcurement Items and Line Charge Types application to export item and line charge type data from Costpoint into a delimited text file that can be uploaded into the eProcurement system.

The item and line charge type data can then be used by the eProcurement system to categorize purchases so that purchase orders can be loaded back into Costpoint. You can also choose to export specific item types based on the selections on this screen.

There are two ways to work with export files in Costpoint:

  • You can export the file to an Alternate File Location.
  • You can export the file to the Costpoint database.

If you decide to use the first option, click in the File Location field to select the alternate file location to which you want to save the file. If you choose the second option, leave the File Location field blank when you export the file.
