Dela Tab

Use this tab to set the Dela approval method and confidence level for individual projects.

Note: For Costpoint Cloud, you can choose to opt in to this feature for the Costpoint 2026.1 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all users as part of a future Costpoint release. See the Manage Opt-In Features topic for more information.

When you select Recommend or Enforce as the Dela Approval Method on the Configure Billing Settings screen, the following fields become editable.

Field Description
Dela Approval Method Use this drop-down list to select the approval method for standard, progress payment, and project product bills. The options are:
  • Disable (OFF): Select this option to disable automatic billing approvals.
  • Recommend: Select this option to allow Dela to issue an approval recommendation when a bill matches the approval criteria.
  • Enforce: Select this option to automatically approve transactions.
Dela Confidence Setting

This field is visible only when you select Recommend or Enforce. Use it to set the confidence level that Dela must meet before accepting a match between new data and historical data. You can enter a value from 70 to 100.

Confidence level is based on the following criteria:
  • Low confidence level (for example, 70): Dela will accept matches even if it is not very sure. This might result in more matches, but some could be less similar to the historical data. 
  • High confidence level (for example, 100): Dela will accept matches only when it is very sure. This might result in fewer matches, but they will closely resemble historical data.

Adjust this value based on how closely you need the results to match historical data. Higher values mean more similarity, while lower values mean more flexibility in variation.
