Export Costpoint Data to SilkRoad

When you have new position requisitions and/or when you add detail job titles, organizations, and labor locations in Costpoint, use the Transfer Silk Road Data screen to export the new information to SilkRoad. You can export the information either manually or by scheduling an export process.

To export information to SilkRoad:

  1. Go to the Transfer Silk Road Data screen in Costpoint.
  2. Enter a Parameter ID and Description in the Identification group box.
  3. In the Export group box, select the check box of the information that you want to export. Valid options are:

    • Employees

    • Organizations/HR Organizations

    • Detail Job Titles

    • Labor Locations

    • Positions Requisitions

  4. If you only want to export the changes since the last time the export was ran, select the Changes since last export check box. If you do not select the Changes since last export check box, the generated CSV file will include a full export of the selected Costpoint values.
  5. Click  to run the export process immediately. If you want to schedule the export process at a later time, click Save, and schedule a job on the Manage Jobs screen.
