Input File Layout
The input file is named by the user.
The error file has the same name with an ".ERR" extension.
The input file can be either a fixed-format file or a comma-separated file. If the file is a fixed-format file, you must fill every position with either an appropriate character or a space. It is not necessary to zero-fill numbers; you can use spaces to maintain the proper format. If the file is comma-separated, it is not necessary to fill every position, but the file must have the correct number of commas. Each record must be on a separate line and end with a carriage return and line feed.
In fixed-format files, you must populate the required input file fields with valid data. If you do not populate an optional column in a fixed-length input file, you must enter the maximum number of spaces for that column before entering data for the next column. After you have entered the last character of meaningful data for the input file, you do not need to fill the remaining column lines with spaces. For example, if the Sequence Number field in position 229 is the last required value (out of the total possible field position spaces), you do not need to add the remaining spaces. However, if you enter the Sequence Number in position 229 and wish to enter data in the Project-Account Abbrev field (positions 240-245) but not the Effective Billing Date field (positions 230-239), you must enter 10 spaces in place of the Effective Billing Date field before entering Project-Account Abbrev data in position 240-245. This also applies when you enter data in a required field, skip the following optional field, and then enter data in another required field.
The current full record length for non-MO/SO fixed-length records with 15-character pay type is 512.
You cannot use commas in the Notes field. Neither format requires that the Notes field be filled with spaces, but both require that every record end with a carriage return and line feed.
Pay Type field Expanded to 15 Characters
Starting in Costpoint 2026.2, Costpoint expanded the allowed length of Pay Type values from 3 characters to 15 characters. To support this enhancement, the fixed length file layout used by the Import Timesheets application was updated to accommodate the longer Pay Type field.
If your organization currently imports fixed length timesheet files with a Pay Type field limited to 3 characters, you may encounter import errors when using Costpoint 2026.2. This can occur if your timesheet product has not yet been updated to align with the revised file layout. To help minimize disruption, we are providing a transition period.
Beginning with Costpoint 2026.2.1, the Import Timesheets application will support the following file formats:
- Comma Separated
- Fixed Length (3-character Pay Type) - transitional support
- Fixed Length (15-character Pay Type)
Support for the Fixed Length (3-character Pay Type) format will continue through Costpoint version 2026.4.
- Transition to a comma separated file format, or
- Update your fixed length file layout to support a 15-character Pay Type. Cloud clients can find the updated file layouts in the application’s Help. On-Premise customers can find the file layouts in KB article 125962.
Taking action ahead of the 2027.1 release will help ensure uninterrupted timesheet imports.
Input File Excel Template
For Costpoint 2025.x and later releases, you can download the Excel template file specifically designed for this preprocessor from the Costpoint Preprocessor Guides page on the Deltek Learning Hub.
For Costpoint 8.1, the input file is available on the Developer Resources page in the Costpoint Information Center.
Excel templates for the other Costpoint preprocessors can be found in these same locations.
