Birdneck Rd, #626 Virginia Beach, VA 23451 DeltekCobra Cumulativevs.CurrentPeriodActualCosts An important decision to be made during the earned value system setup process is how best to load actual costs into Cobra. There are two basic options: a cumulative load and a current period load. The choice that will work best for your system depends on many things. You must know how Cobra behaves in each case in order to make the right decision. In this article, we give you the facts and examples that show how Cobra will process the two types of actual cost records. Once you have the facts, you can make a better decision on which type loading method will work best with your system. To save you some time, we’ve run a couple of tests and show you the results using screen shots. This way you get to see firsthand what Cobra does in each case. Overview Cumulative Actual Costs Using the cumulative actual costs option means that you provide Cobra with a CSV file containing actual costs that run from project inception to date. These actuals must be grouped and summarized, typically by work package and then by resource. Cobra will load the latest cost amount for each work package or control account (depending on your setup) and then compare that to the total for the prior period. The delta is the current period cost you see in your CPR format reports. Pros and Cons Pro – the cumulative actual cost method is self-correcting. If changes are made to prior period costs in the finance system, no additional processes need to be performed to accrue these changes in Cobra. Con – the cumulative actual cost files require more processing up front to get the data into a proper state for Cobra importing. This processing can usually be automated using scripts or simple programs within the finance system. Current Period Actual Costs Using the current period actual costs option means Cobra will process the amounts into the current period with the assumption that these costs represent only values collected for the current reporting period. It will add these values to previously loaded actual costs to generate the cumulative costs. Pros and Cons
