Codes and Structures Page of the Cost Data Wizard

Use this page to select the control account and work package code assignments and associated structures to be exported.

Control Account Tab or Work Package Tab

Use this tab to select the control account and/or work package code assignments to be exported.

Click the Control Account tab to display control account code assignments 1-20 defined on the selected project, regardless of code field type.

Click the Work Package tab to display work package code assignments 1-20 defined on the selected project, regardless of code field type.

Note:

• This page displays the information specified on the Control Account Codes tab or on the Work Package Codes tab of the Fields tab of the Project Properties dialog box for the selected Cobra project.
• Codes used to map the WBS and OBS fields on the Export Structures page may not be selected again on this page.
• When exporting at the control account level, ControlAccounts.IsSummaryLevelPlanningPackage is set based on the existence of work packages, their progress technique values, or the presence of budget at the control account level, as follows:
  • FALSE when no work packages under the control account have their progress technique set to Planning Package.
  • FALSE when at least one work package under the control account has a progress technique not set to Planning Package.
  • TRUE when all work packages under the control account have their progress technique set to Planning Package.
  • TRUE when no work packages exist under the control account and budget exists at the control account level.

  The control account–level budget must belong to a class that is tagged as Include in Budget in the project properties.

• When exporting at the work package level, if the work package uses the Planning Package progress technique, IsSummaryLevelPlanningPackage in WorkPackages.json is set to TRUE. Otherwise, it is set to FALSE.
• This page does not display if you select DOE PARS on the Project and Format page.

Field	Description
Number	This field displays the location of the codes on the control account or work package.
Prompt	This field displays the user prompt for each code field.
Code File	This field displays the names of the code files. This checkbox is blank if the code field type is not Code (optional) or Code (required).
Export Value	Select this checkbox to export the value assigned to the control account or work package code. By default, this checkbox is cleared.
Export Structure	Select this checkbox to export the associated code file structure. This checkbox is enabled only when exporting the DCDE format. By default, this checkbox is cleared. If you select Deltek Common Data on the Project and Format page, take note of the following: For code-validated fields, the Export Structure checkbox is disabled if the Export Value checkbox is cleared. You can export the structure only if you export the associated code value. For non-code validated fields, the Export Structure checkbox is always disabled. There is no structure to export for this field type (for example, Text or User Field). The Export Value checkbox and the Export Structure checkbox are both disabled if you are exporting control account code assignments that have already been defined as WBS or OBS. If you select IPMDAR-Contract Performance Format on the Project and Format page, take note of the following: The Export Structure checkbox is always disabled even if the Export Value checkbox is selected. WBS and OBS are the only structures exported to the IPMDAR. The selected codes are included as custom fields in the following JSON tables: ControlAccountCustomFieldDefinitions ControlAccountCustomFieldValues WorkPackageCustomFieldDefinitions WorkPackageCustomFieldValuesCustomFieldEnums The IPMDAR format allows you to map and export only up to 10 control account codes or 10 work package codes. If you select more than 10 codes, Cobra displays the following message: "The IPMDAR Format is limited to 10 codes. Please select no more than 10 [control account or work package] codes." Only control account codes or work package codes whose Export Value checkbox is selected will be exported and included in the generated IPMDAR file.
