Entering Actual Costs Using an Import File

Although it is possible to enter actual cost data by hand, in most cases the information has already been captured in an external accounting system.

Thus, Cobra makes it possible to enter and validate actual costs using import files prepared outside of Cobra in CSV (comma separated values) file format.


Import File Preparation

A typical import file contains the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS), Resource, Hours, Direct, Overhead (OH), and General & Administration (G&A) costs.

Import File Validation

Cobra performs validations on the data in the file after you identify the import file to be used for entering actual costs.
