Exported Cost Data File

The output file created after running the Cost Data Wizard depends on the format you select on the Project and Format page.

  • Deltek Common Data: The Cost Data Wizard generates the DCDE file and saves it in DCDE format (for example, DEMO ADVANCED.DCDE).
  • IPMDAR: The Cost Data Wizard generates the IPMDAR Cost Performance Dataset (CPD) file and saves it in ZIP format.
    Important: Deltek recommends that you run the validation tool provided by the government before you submit the IPMDAR file.
    Attention: For more information on how this export was developed, refer to the AAP Policy and Guidance page.
