Process for importing hours and rates adjustments

Follow the steps below to add hours and rates adjustments to the CSV file and import the file to :

  1. (Optional) Export T&A Codes.
  2. Complete the CSV files.
  3. Import the CSV file.

1. Export T&A Codes

Although exporting the T&A Codes is an optional step, it will help you avoid mistakes when entering values in the Hours and Rates Adjustment CSV import file. 

To export the T&A Codes screen:

    A dialog box appears to confirm that your file was exported successfully.
  8. Click OK.

2. Complete the CSV files

Tip: UniFocus recommends that you first complete a CSV file that includes only your average rate adjustments, then you complete another CSV file that contains hours and rate adjustments that are not average rate adjustments. The first file contains only adjustments for which Y (Yes) is selected for Job Rate Override; the second file contains only adjustments for which N (No) is selected for Job Rate Override. See the field description table below for more information.
