File Layout
The file layout provides information on the fields included in the input file created by the Import Timesheets from Deltek Time and Expense application.
You name the input file when exporting timesheets from Time & Expense. After you upload a file, it is renamed with an extension of ".ZZZ". If a file with the same name and extension already exists, it is overwritten. This helps prevent uploading the same file twice.
When the import process for Time and Expense completes, the application creates a confirmation file with an extension of ".CFM". This confirmation file contains error information if any error occurred during the import process.
Input File Excel Template
Go to the Developer Resources page of the Costpoint Information Center to download the Excel template file specifically designed for this preprocessor. Templates for other Costpoint preprocessors are also available at the same location.
