Purpose-built ETL platform for deltek costpoint to oracle fusion migration. DCAA/DFARS-aware reconciliation, indirect-rate pool preservation, IDIQ/CPFF contract continuity, Cobra (CER) earned value, WAWF iRAPT history, ICE submission packages. 40–60% faster than consultant-led programmes.
Most Costpoint to Fusion projects don't slip on data extraction. They slip on indirect-rate pool translation, active IDIQ continuity, DCAA evidence preservation and Cobra earned-value reconstruction.
Deltek Costpoint has been the dominant ERP for US federal contractors since the late 1990s. Customers carry deep customization: dozens of indirect cost pools tuned over years of DCAA negotiation, hundreds of Project Labor Categories, intricate CLIN/SLIN structures across active IDIQs, multi-state allocation rules for state-tax exposure, custom Cognos reports finance has come to depend on for ICE submissions. Consultant-led migrations spend the first quarter just cataloguing what exists and arguing about whether the pool calculation can be replicated in Fusion.
Syntra ETL inverts the sequence. Pre-built Costpoint extractors against Costpoint Web Services and direct schema read mean week-one extraction. A discovery engine that crawls the pool definitions, allocation bases, approved provisional and forward-pricing rate history, CLIN structure, Project Labor Categories and Cognos report library produces a complete govt-contracting customization inventory in days. The deltek costpoint to oracle fusion migration conversation that traditionally consumes a quarter happens in week two with hard evidence on the table.
Whether you are moving Costpoint Projects + Accounting alone, full ERP including T&E + Cobra + WAWF iRAPT, or running a hybrid where Costpoint stays for project execution and only financials flow to Fusion, the same engine handles the workflow — with the same reconciliation rigor and the same DCAA-defensible audit trail evidence pack.
And how the Syntra ETL platform addresses each one — before they consume your timeline or your audit defense.
Costpoint's pool calculation doesn't translate 1:1 to Fusion. Discovery crawls every active pool (fringe, OH, G&A, B&P, IR&D, mat'l handling, sub handling), every allocation base, every approved provisional / forward-pricing rate — and produces a Fusion Indirect Cost Recovery Schedule design.
Multi-year IDIQ and CPFF contracts can't be closed and reopened. Every CLIN, every funding mod, every NTE ceiling, every funded/unfunded line, every cost-incurred-to-date tally reloads with full Period of Performance continuity.
Costpoint Time & Expense is where DCAA timekeeping compliance lives. Full timesheet history (per-employee, per-day, per-PLC, per-charge-code) plus leave accruals migrate without breaking floor-check audit trail.
Cobra earned-value records (BCWS/BCWP/ACWP) and CPR/IPMR submissions don't carry forward natively. Syntra ETL reconstructs the EVMS series in Fusion PPM with full variance and SPI/CPI history preserved.
Wide Area Workflow / iRAPT invoice submissions to DoD payment systems must remain queryable for DCMA dispute lookback. Submission history preserved as immutable archive.
7+ year lookback for incurred cost submissions, indirect-rate certifications, floor checks, executive comp caps — preserved as signed immutable archive that survives contracting-officer scrutiny.
A repeatable, governed workflow built for Costpoint's particular govt-contracting complexity. Typical full-scope timeline: 14–22 weeks.
Discovery engine catalogs every indirect cost pool, allocation base, Project Labor Category, CLIN/SLIN, active contract, approved rate (provisional + forward-pricing), Cognos/BIRT report and Costpoint customization. Output: complete govt-contracting customization inventory, contract continuity register, DCAA audit-coverage map, sized assessment with risk register.
Indirect cost pool to Fusion Indirect Cost Recovery Schedule mapping, allocation base translation, project to Fusion PPM project mapping, PLC to Project Resource binding, CLIN structure to Fusion Project Funding design. Reviewed and signed off by controller, contract administrators, DCAA liaison and compliance leads.
Costpoint Web Services extractors pull project master, accounting, AP/AR, billing detail, T&E timesheets, Cobra earned-value, WAWF history, indirect-rate pool calculations, approved rate certifications. Output staged as Parquet with hash-signed manifests partitioned by fiscal year, contract and pool.
Crosswalks applied, indirect-rate pools re-projected into Fusion structure, CLIN/SLIN remapped to Fusion Project Funding, FBDI payloads generated for Projects/Financials/Payables/Receivables, validated against current Fusion release templates. Indirect-rate parity check vs Costpoint for current and prior periods.
FBDI ZIPs submitted to Fusion ESS, monitored to completion, reconciled at row, sum, hash and DCAA-relevant aggregate level. In parallel, critical ICE submission, IPMR, indirect-rate certification and Job Summary reports rebuilt in OTBI / BI Publisher to audit-defensible format.
1–2 fiscal-month cycles in parallel (Costpoint + Fusion) with both producing reconciled indirect-rate tracks, active-contract billing parity, T&E labor distribution parity. Final delta replay, sign-off pack issued, contracting officer notified of system-of-record change. Costpoint moves to read-only archive.
No more bespoke Web Services scaffolding or direct-schema reverse-engineering. Just configure scope, run, reconcile.
Project hierarchy, account groups, project labor categories, project budgets, EAC/ETC, allowable cost detail, period of performance — pulled via Costpoint Web Services and direct schema read.
Every pool definition, allocation base, pool calculation history, approved provisional rate, approved forward-pricing rate certification — preserved with original DCAA audit context.
Timesheet history per-employee per-day per-PLC per-charge-code, expense reports, leave accruals, floor check records — full DCAA timekeeping audit trail.
Active and closed contracts with CLIN/SLIN structure, funding modifications, NTE ceilings, funded/unfunded delineation, billing instructions, retainage rules.
Earned-value records (BCWS/BCWP/ACWP), CPR/IPMR data, SPI/CPI history, variance explanations, control account budgets — feeds Fusion PPM EVMS.
Wide Area Workflow invoice submissions to DoD payment systems, acceptance/rejection history, DCMA dispute correspondence — preserved as immutable submission archive.
A typical deltek costpoint to oracle fusion migration covering Projects, Contracts, Accounting, AP, AR, Billing, Time & Expense and Cobra (CER) earned value, with 7+ years of DCAA-relevant history and active multi-year IDIQ contracts, runs 14–22 weeks with Syntra ETL versus 12–18 months on consultant-led programmes. Single-module work (Costpoint AP → Fusion Payables only) completes in 8–10 weeks. The acceleration comes from pre-built Costpoint extractors that already speak the Costpoint Web Services REST/SOAP APIs and the underlying Oracle/SQL Server schema, governed crosswalks between Costpoint Projects and Fusion PPM/Grants, and DCAA/DFARS-aware reconciliation packs that survive a contracting-officer audit. Federal prime contractors carrying indirect-rate calculation history routinely add 2–3 weeks for the parallel indirect-rate validation.
Costpoint is the dominant govt-contracting ERP and has been since the late 1990s, but the underlying Costpoint 7/8 platform is showing its age — the UI is dated, the upgrade cycle is heavy, the licensing model is per-user, and Deltek's roadmap has shifted focus to the SaaS Costpoint GCCS offering that not every prime is ready to adopt. Most Oracle ERP customers running Costpoint alongside Fusion (typical pattern for diversified govt contractors with commercial lines) want vendor consolidation. The deltek costpoint to oracle fusion migration kills the parallel ERP, consolidates Projects, Grants and Contracts onto a single chart of accounts, and lets you stand up Fusion-native DCAA-compliant indirect-rate pools, ICE submission packages and CAS-aligned cost accumulation with the right design from day one — rather than carrying Costpoint's accumulated workarounds for another decade.
Syntra ETL supports the full Costpoint govt-contracting footprint. Projects: project master, project setups, account groups, project labor categories, project budgets, EAC/ETC, project allowable cost detail. Accounting: GL accounts, fiscal year setup, organizational hierarchy, multi-state allocations, indirect cost pools, pool calculations, pool history. AP: vendor master, vouchers, vendor labor, 1099 history, P-card transactions. AR: customer master, project invoices (T&M, CPFF, FFP, cost-plus), Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) iRAPT submission history. Billing: billing detail, retainage, T&M rates by labor category, CLIN/SLIN structure. Time & Expense: timesheets, expense reports, labor distribution, leave balances. Cobra (CER): earned value records, BCWS/BCWP/ACWP, CPR/IPMR data. All extracted via Costpoint Web Services or direct DB read and routed via FBDI to Fusion PPM, Financials, Payables, Receivables and Project Billing.
Indirect cost pools are the heart of any govt-contracting ERP, and Costpoint's pool calculation is one of the harder things to translate. Syntra ETL inventories every active indirect cost pool (fringe, overhead, G&A, B&P, IR&D, material handling, subcontract handling), every pool calculation rule, every allocation base, and every approved provisional billing rate / forward pricing rate. The crosswalk binds each pool to a Fusion Projects Indirect Cost Recovery Schedule with matching allocation base and matching cost objects. Historical pool calculations from Costpoint are preserved as immutable Parquet for DCAA audit lookback — typically 7+ years — so when the contracting officer requests rate reconciliation for FY2019, the original Costpoint pool calculation, the supporting cost data and the approved rate certification all surface in seconds.
Yes — this is one of the hardest aspects of a Costpoint to Fusion cutover. Active IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity) and CPFF (Cost Plus Fixed Fee) contracts with multi-year performance periods cannot simply be closed in Costpoint and reopened in Fusion — the contracting officer requires continuity, the funding ceilings track must be preserved, and the EAC/ETC for incurred-cost submissions has to roll forward without break. Syntra ETL's contract migration playbook captures every CLIN, every funding modification, every NTE (Not To Exceed) ceiling, every funded vs unfunded delineation and every cost-incurred-to-date tally, and reloads into Fusion Projects with full Period of Performance continuity. Active billings continue from Fusion on the cutover date; closed-period billings reconcile back to the Costpoint history for any retroactive adjustment.
Costpoint reporting is split across legacy Crystal Reports, Costpoint BIRT-based dashboards and increasingly Cognos for Costpoint Analytics. None of these carry over to Fusion. The Syntra ETL assessment inventories every Costpoint report in production use — Job Summary Reports, Project Status Reports, Funding Status Reports, Backlog Reports, ICE submission packages, CPR/IPMR earned-value reports, indirect rate calculation reports, DCAA-format incurred cost submissions — and classifies by business value and audit weight. Approximately 40–60% of legacy reports are duplicates or low-value and get retired. Critical govt-contracting reports (ICE, IPMR, indirect rate cert) are rebuilt in Fusion OTBI or BI Publisher with the same audit-defensible format the contracting officer expects. The deltek costpoint to oracle fusion migration includes the reporting layer, not just the data.
Costpoint Time & Expense (formerly Deltek T&E) is where the contractor's labor charging happens — every hour booked against every project, every cost code, every funding line. This is also where DCAA timekeeping compliance lives, and a botched cutover means re-doing weeks of labor entries. Syntra ETL extracts the full timesheet history (per-employee, per-day, per-project, per-PLC, per-charge-code) plus leave accruals and floor checks. The crosswalk binds Costpoint Project Labor Categories to Fusion Project Resources and Costpoint charge codes to Fusion Project Expenditure Types. Open timesheets (the current pay period) are migrated mid-flight with full audit trail. Post-cutover, the next labor-charging period opens directly in Fusion with no employee re-training friction beyond the new UI.
No — and this is non-negotiable for federal contractors. Syntra ETL's Costpoint extractors run as read-only DB user or scoped Web Services consumer, so live operational use continues uninterrupted. The cutover itself is choreographed around the federal fiscal calendar (October 1 boundary) where possible, or around your incurred-cost submission cycle (typically June 30 / December 31 calendar year-end). During parallel run, both Costpoint and Fusion produce reconciled monthly indirect-rate tracks so the controller can sign the rate certification against either system. Active DCAA audits underway during the cutover window get a frozen Costpoint snapshot for the audit period plus the live Fusion record going forward — the auditor sees no break in evidence chain.
