Pre-built Costpoint data conversion for Projects, Accounting, AP, AR, Billing, T&E and Cobra EVMS. Indirect-rate pool preservation, PLC and CLIN crosswalks, FBDI Project + GL + AP + AR emitters, DCAA-defensible row-level reconciliation. Audit-ready evidence at every load.
The hard part isn't pulling SOAP responses from Costpoint Web Services. It's translating Costpoint's govt-contracting data model into Fusion's PPM, Financials and Project Billing model without breaking DCAA evidence chain or CAS allocation consistency.
Deltek Costpoint, the dominant ERP for US federal contractors since the late 1990s, presents a data model built around Projects (with CLIN/SLIN funding, PLC labor categorization, EAC/ETC, allowable cost detail), Indirect Cost Pools (fringe, OH, G&A, B&P, IR&D, material handling, subcontract handling with allocation bases and approved provisional/forward-pricing rates), Time & Expense (per-employee per-day per-PLC labor distributions with DCAA floor-check audit trail), Cobra (CER) earned value (BCWS/BCWP/ACWP series with CPR/IPMR formatting), and WAWF iRAPT invoice submissions to DoD payment systems. Oracle Fusion PPM uses a different shape — Projects with Funding, Expenditure Items, Indirect Cost Recovery Schedules, Project Resources and Bill Rate Schedules.
Every deltek costpoint data migration has to bridge those gaps without breaking the audit chain that links a billed labor hour back through the approved PLC rate, through the indirect cost pool burden, through the CLIN funding line, to the original signed timesheet. Custom SQL and one-off transformation scripts can do it — but every domain becomes a multi-week negotiation between functional, technical and DCAA-compliance teams, and the auditor's request for evidence of the FY2019 pool calculation reconstruction goes unanswered. Syntra ETL replaces that with pre-built crosswalks refined across dozens of Costpoint conversions for federal primes.
The same engine handles three deployment scenarios: full Costpoint replacement (Projects + Accounting + AP + AR + Billing + T&E + Cobra → Fusion PPM + Financials), Projects-and-Financials-only migration with T&E kept on Costpoint (common when the contractor wants to phase the cutover), and the consolidation pattern where Costpoint AP migrates to Fusion Payables ahead of the project-accounting modules.
The transformations Syntra ETL ships pre-built. No bespoke SQL against Costpoint's Oracle/SQL Server schema, no multi-month indirect-rate reverse engineering.
Costpoint indirect cost pools walked, classified by audit history, projected into Fusion Indirect Cost Recovery Schedules with matching allocation logic. Historical pool calculations preserved as immutable Parquet for DCAA lookback.
Project Labor Categories with effective-dated rate history bound to Fusion Project Resources and Bill Rate Schedules. T&M billing parity preserved to the cent across the cutover.
Contract CLIN/SLIN funding hierarchy with NTE ceilings, funded/unfunded delineation, funding-modification chain converted to Fusion Project Funding with full Period of Performance continuity.
Per-employee per-day per-project per-PLC per-charge-code labor entries converted to Fusion PPM Expenditure Items. DCAA timekeeping floor-check audit trail preserved.
AP voucher history including vendor labor, 1099 reporting, P-card transactions converted to FBDI AP Invoice Import. Vendor master remapped with TIN and W-9 verification status preserved.
Every audit-relevant data class (incurred cost submission, indirect-rate cert, floor check, executive comp cap test) preserved with source-system signature and timestamp for 7+ year contracting-officer lookback.
A repeatable load order that respects Fusion PPM's data dependencies. Skip a step and your CLIN funding load fails on missing projects or your indirect-rate schedule fails on missing pool design.
Fusion enterprise structures, ledgers, BUs, COA segments, Project Business Units, expenditure types, Project Templates, Indirect Cost Recovery Schedule design configured. Loaded via FSM tasks — not user-facing data, but everything downstream depends on it.
Workers (HDL Worker.dat), Project Resources, Bill Rate Schedules with PLC effective-dated rates, Vendors (FBDI Supplier Import), Indirect Cost Recovery Schedules with pool design. Loaded in strict dependency order.
Active and historical projects via FBDI Project Import. CLIN/SLIN funding hierarchy loaded as Project Funding with NTE ceilings and funded/unfunded delineation. Active IDIQ contracts preserved with full Period of Performance continuity.
Labor and non-labor expenditures for the operational window (typically current fiscal year + prior fiscal year) loaded via FBDI Expenditure Item Import. Older history routed to long-term Costpoint archive. Either way, queryable for DCAA audit during full 7+ year retention.
GL journals via FBDI GL Journal Import, AP voucher history via FBDI AP Invoice Import (including 1099 history), AR project billing history via FBDI AR Invoice Import with CLIN-level detail. Reconciled to Costpoint trial balance to the cent.
Final delta replay, parallel-month reconciliation with both systems producing indirect-rate tracks. Sign-off pack (trial balance, contract billing parity, T&E labor distribution parity, indirect-rate certification continuity — Costpoint vs Fusion to the basis-point). DCAA liaison notified.
Every costpoint data migration load produces signed drill-downable reconciliation reports that survive contracting-officer scrutiny.
Source Costpoint record count vs Fusion-loaded record count per fiscal period per project per business unit. Variance threshold zero.
GL trial balance per period per account reconciled to the cent. AP aging, AR aging, project cost-incurred-to-date per pool reconciled per period.

Signed timestamped pack: incurred cost submission reconciliation, indirect-rate cert continuity, executive comp cap test, ICE submission package — controller and DCAA liaison sign off directly.
Deltek costpoint data migration is the process of moving Projects (master, budgets, allowable cost detail, EAC/ETC), Accounting (GL accounts, indirect cost pools, allocation bases, pool calculation history), AP (vendor master, vouchers, 1099 history), AR (project invoices T&M/CPFF/FFP), Billing (CLIN/SLIN, retainage, T&M rates by PLC), Time & Expense (timesheets, expense reports, leave accruals), Cobra (CER earned value, CPR/IPMR data) and WAWF iRAPT submission history from Deltek Costpoint into Oracle Fusion PPM, Financials, Payables and Receivables. Syntra ETL handles all of it with pre-built Web Services and direct-schema extractors, governed crosswalks tuned for DCAA-relevant data classes, and Oracle-validated FBDI emitters for Project, GL, AP and AR loads.
Migration is the end-to-end project (extract + transform + load + reconcile + cutover + DCAA evidence sign-off). Conversion is the transformation layer specifically. Syntra ETL's costpoint data conversion engine ships pre-built rules for indirect cost pool to Fusion Indirect Cost Recovery Schedule projection, Project Labor Category to Fusion Project Resource binding, CLIN/SLIN to Fusion Project Funding structure, allocation base translation, vendor master to Fusion Supplier remapping, and FBDI emitter generation. These are rules that on a consultant-led project would otherwise consume 4–6 months of bespoke SQL development against Costpoint's Oracle/SQL Server schema — and would still leave the DCAA audit-trail reconstruction as an open question.
Indirect cost pool history is the most audit-sensitive data class in any Costpoint migration. Syntra ETL's costpoint data conversion engine extracts every pool calculation run from Costpoint — typically 7+ fiscal years — along with the supporting allocation base detail, the cost objects accumulating into each pool, the approved provisional rate and the certified forward-pricing rate. The historical pool calculations are preserved as immutable Parquet for DCAA audit lookback while the current-period pool design is re-projected into Fusion Indirect Cost Recovery Schedules with matching allocation logic. The DCAA contracting officer can reconcile any prior-year incurred cost submission against the original Costpoint pool calculation without leaving the Syntra archive.
Yes. Project Labor Categories (PLCs) are the basis of every T&M billing and every direct labor charge in Costpoint. Syntra ETL extracts the full PLC master (typically hundreds of PLCs across active and historical contracts) plus the rate history per PLC per contract per fiscal period. The crosswalk binds each Costpoint PLC to a Fusion Project Resource and a Fusion Bill Rate Schedule with matching effective-dated rate history. Labor distributions (per-employee per-day per-project per-PLC per-charge-code) are converted to Fusion PPM Expenditure Items with full traceability back to the Costpoint timesheet. Auditors verifying billed labor against approved rate cards see the full chain in Fusion.
Syntra ETL emits Fusion-native load formats for every Costpoint data domain: FBDI Project Import for project master, budgets, funding and CLIN structure; FBDI Expenditure Item Import for labor and non-labor expenditures; FBDI Indirect Cost Recovery Schedule for pool design; FBDI GL Journal Import for GL history; FBDI AP Invoice Import for voucher history and vendor labor; FBDI AR Invoice Import for project billing history; FBDI Supplier Import for vendor master; HDL Worker for the timekeeper population that ties to Fusion Time & Labor. Every payload is validated against the current Oracle Fusion 26x release schema before submission, so validation errors surface locally — not in a 6-hour Fusion ESS job that fails on row 80,000 of a CLIN funding load.
Every Costpoint record extracted is hashed at the source. Every record loaded into Fusion is re-hashed post-load. The reconciliation engine compares counts (vouchers, projects, expenditures, journals, invoices), sum totals (GL trial balance per period per account, AP aging, AR aging, billed-to-date per contract, cost-incurred-to-date per pool) and hash signatures per fiscal period per business unit. Indirect rate parity checks compare Costpoint pool calculations to Fusion Indirect Cost Recovery Schedule outputs to the basis-point. Output is a signed timestamped reconciliation pack: trial-balance match, contract billing parity, T&E labor distribution parity, indirect-rate certification continuity — finance, controller and DCAA liaison sign off on the pack directly.
Yes. After the initial bulk load, Syntra ETL captures Costpoint deltas via Web Services watermarks (modified-since timestamps on each domain) and replays them into Fusion through REST APIs. This supports the standard parallel-run pattern for federal contractors: Costpoint continues taking transaction posting for 1–2 fiscal-month cycles while Fusion is validated to the basis-point against Costpoint indirect-rate tracks. Once finance, controller and DCAA liaison sign off, new posting cuts to Fusion. The cutover is typically scheduled around the federal fiscal calendar (October 1) or your incurred-cost submission cycle (June 30 / December 31 calendar year-end) to minimize audit-period bridging complexity.
SOX requires 7-year retention of financial records with auditable trace from GL entry back to original supporting evidence — voucher, project budget approval, contract modification. CAS (Cost Accounting Standards) requires consistent cost allocation across multiple contracts with audit-defensible pool basis. FAR Part 31 and DFARS 252.242-7006 require contractor business systems with adequate internal controls. Syntra ETL's costpoint data migration preserves the full chain: GL line in Fusion → Project Expenditure Item → original Costpoint voucher/timesheet/billing line → original supporting attachment (vendor invoice, signed timesheet, contract mod). Every hop signed and timestamped. The CAS Disclosure Statement cross-reference is preserved so a DCAA cost-accounting-practice audit can be defended without reconstruction.
