The ‘COST_LOAD_TYPE’ field in Primavera Project Manager / Project Management is equivalent to MS Projects’ ‘Fixed Cost Accrual’ field.  This determines how the cost is spread over the activity. Valid values are ‘Start’, ‘Prorated’ and ‘End’ which are equivalent to Primavera’s ‘Accrual Type’ values of: ‘Start of Activity’, ‘Uniform over Activity’ and ‘Finish of Activity’.

Project Manager / Project Management is attempting to import the ‘Fixed Accrual Type’ as a blank row – which is not permitted.

To rectify the issue:

1. Delete the ‘blank rows’ from within the MSP schedule as shown below:
