AgendaFlexFile 101
Implementation
• FlexFile and Quantity Report will replace DD 1921 Series as the default required cost reporting requirement for newly approved CSDR plans starting May 15th (per DD,CA memo)
• Some tailoring of the DID requirements may be proposed by the CWIPT (e.g. time-phasing for periods longer than a month)
• If there is context-specific rationale, e.g. the reporting contractor and effort being performed make it unlikely the additional insight provided will be utilized, then the CWIPT may propose to use the DD 1921 series.

The core of the FlexFile is providing dollars and hours at the account level in contractornative categories, time phased.
Insight into contractor’s native Functional Categories
Account level reporting at or below the WBS
Data time-phased monthly or to align with contractor’s financial calendars
Continuity with prior reports by requiring the legacy government tags
Greatest value to cost estimator, in many cases, will be the additional insight requested in Group E

Legacy Element
The Quantity Report ties the necessary quantity information to the FlexFile:
Units to date should reflect an actual count of physically completed units
Allow sequencing quantities to be optional through Planning process for each End-Item as not all End Items may require sequencing (e.g., Kits)
Sequencing was allowed for lower level WBS elements in legacy 1921-2, but FlexFile does not sequence WBS elements (only End Items)
To Date and In Process to be defined by contractor in the Remarks section
One FlexFile provides the analyst more data points than a contract’s worth of 1921s
Default requirement for FlexFile is actual cost data time-phased discretely by month (e.g., a reporting period of 5 years would have 60 discrete monthly data points)
A 1921 only reports cumulative data for the given reporting period
To obtain the same number of data points, a contractor would have to submit 60 monthly 1921s

Monthly Time-Phased DataFlexFile Overview
“Account” Level Data
The 1921 provides no detail below the WBS or Standard Functional Category
Leads to ad-hoc data calls for insight into control account, work package, or similar data
The FlexFile asks for data at an “Account” Level which is meant to be at or below the lowest level of the WBS
“Account” can be control account, work package, charge code, or similar categories where actual costs are incurred and reflect the contractors native system
FlexFile provides the analysts insight into “Account” level detail and reduces need for ad-hoc reporting

Contractor Functional Categories
FlexFile Functional Categories intended to align with pricing categories for comparability with proposals, negotiations, and FPRA
1921-1s provide analysts a standard view of functional categories across programs, contracts, and business units
However, there may be inconsistencies and there exists no clear mapping from the contractor’s internal categories to the standards
FlexFile provides insight into the contractor’s pricing categories providing a clear mapping to the standard categories

Planning ConsiderationsFlexFile Overview
The following considerations should be included in addition to existing CSDR planning guidance
Define End Item and Order/Lot (see Figure 1)
FACs broken out by Nonrecurring/Recurring and the Standard Functional Category
Quantity Report requires that reporting elements are selected and that GFE are properly identified (see Figure 2)
Quantity Report also requires that sequencing be selected by Order/Lot and End Item

Submission/Validation Considerations FlexFile Overview
Submission Considerations
• The starting point for submission allows industry to submit the reports in an Excel-Compatible file instead of the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Model.
• The data model is final and industry may choose to submit according to the JSON Data Model.
• If submitting in an Excel-Compatible format, DCARC will ensure that it maps to the data model for CADE ingestion. This may require some coordination between the DCARC and contractor. The DCARC will then submit the JSON Data Model for validation.
Validation Considerations
• DCARC will ensure compliance with
DID Approved CSDR plan Equivalent of Legacy 1921 validation rules
• External stakeholders may also consider any of the additional insight provided in the FlexFile format when conducting their reviews.

• A new design for the Data and Analytics home page was published on 05 Dec 2018• It is intended to better support two primary modes of accessing data
• Browse Data Across Programs: Aggregate data from multiple Tasks/Contracts/Programs
• Think “analysis-ready flat files”
• Data by Program: Drill-down by Program, Contract, and Task• Think “standard reporting formats”

Multiple CSDRs – Flexible SearchCADE Data & Analytics Overview
• The Browse CSDR Submissions function provides a more flexible “DACIMS-like” search/browse
• Simultaneously locate and download multiple CSDRs
• Works with any mix of Contractor Cost Data Reports (CCDRs) and Software Resources Data Reports (SRDRs)
• Access to all contract-specific 1921-series forms• CDSR (1921), FCHR (1921-1), PCR (1921-2),
