The Importing hours and rates adjustments page describes the process for exporting the Adjustments Template CSV files, completing the file, and then importing it into the Budgeting application. As recommended by UniFocus, you should have a file that contains only your average rate adjustments (that is, rate adjustments marked Y for the Job Rate Overrides) and another file that contains only hours and rate adjustments that are not average rate adjustments.
When completing the CSV file that includes only your Job Rate Overrides, the time frame specified in the Start Date and End Date fields must define one of the following options (assuming that the standard calendar month is a financial period and the years is from January through December):
- A complete financial period (or month)—1/1/YYYY – 1/31/YYYY, 2/1/YYYY – 2/28(9)/YYYY, 3/1/YYYY – 3/31/YYYY, …etc.
A complete quarter—Q1 is 1/1/YYYY – 3/31/YYYY, Q2 is 4/1/YYYY – 6/30/YYYY, Q3 is 7/1/YYYY – 9/30/YYYY, Q4 is 10/1/YYYY – 12/31/YYYY.
- A complete year—1/1/YYYY – 12/31/YYYY.
