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.

Note: If you are using Deltek Time & Expense 7.x to 8.1.1, the file layout does not include the Withholding State field.
Note: The input file layout may contain fields that are available only in Costpoint Advanced. If you are using Costpoint Essentials, these fields are excluded from the import process and may be left blank or null when you create the input file.
