Storing Rates in Projects.

Hi,
Can someone share inputs on how to store the rates for the items (Non-Inventory Items) in Oracle Projects.
The idea is to create an item as a non-labour resource and create a rate schedule, however i would like to know if there are any other ways in any project modules.
The data that needs to be captured is Item Name, Description,Quantity,Rate, UOM, Start Date,End date.
If there are no standard forms to capture the above, will this requirement be a custom form.
All inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh Menon

If you want project vice rate schedule, you might need to create rate schedules for each project and assign them at the project level rate schedule overrides.
Two other options are
1. Use custom form to store the project and rate schedule information. Then use costing client extn.
2. If the bill rate schedules are based on templates, then attach it to the template level. so all projects created out a particular template will use that template's rate schedule.
Hope this helps!

Using multiple resource cost rates in Project Server 2013

Greetings,
We use Project Server 2013 to manage resources that often perform multiple roles within projects and also have different rates between projects. The Standard Rate from the user's profile is somewhat helpful but, as we all know, it carries over to every
project that the resource is part of.
I have tried opening Project Professional 2013 and using the additional Cost tabs in the user's information to enter different rates in tabs, B, C, D and E (tab A is the default Standard Rate from Project Server).
My experience has been that as soon as I close and check in the project file, this data disappears. Next time I open the file the default rate is available but tabs B-E are blank. This behavior does not occur if I open a stand-alone project
file not connected to Project Server.
I realize that Project is not meant to be a financial management tool and has its limitations but I'm looking for suggestions and would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
Ray

Dale is right in that an Enterprise Resource can only have its rates (or any details) set by the administrator. Unfortunately you are limited to 5 rates (A-E).
I have done a macro for a client that reads rates for a resource for a project from a database (or Excel) every time the project is opened. So you see the correct rates and calculated costs.
These rates get over-written next time you open the project, hence the need for the macro to update rates every time the project is opened.
Another option in the macro is to zero the rates so a copy can be emailed to clients etc without sensitive rates data.

Mixing frame rates in project?

I know this has been discussed a bit on other posts. But I couldn't quite find the angle/issue I'm working with. It's mainly a 24fps film, but I have to use 29.97fps archival material. The end output is 24fps. If I just edit the different frame rate clips as is on the timeline and output ... will my 29.97 be converted 'smoothly' into the final exported movie? Or will I have stuttering issues? And is there any advantage in converting all my 29.97fps to 24fps (individually) and then re-inserting them back into the film?
In a couple of shots I can see what looks like a slight fluttering in a subject moving back and forth horizontally (not particularly fast either).
I just attempted to do a test, to convert the 29.97 to 23.98. A puzzle: there seems no way to export out the clip at a different frame rate (if it's a 29.97 on a 29.97 timeline). I'm stuck with the 29.97.
If I try to modify the project with the 29.97 clip in it already - the modification won't allow me any choices beyond the 29.97.
If I create a NEW project at 23.98 fps, and then drop the 29.97 clip into it ... the clip CHANGES the project back to 29.97, and I'm still stuck with the same problem.
If I don't want to go to another app like Compressor, what might be the trick here?

I converted a clip from 29.97 to 23.98 using Compressor. I have to say, it looks better than what I'm getting from the 'mixed frame-rate' timeline in FCPX. Am I imagining this do you think? Smoother.

Employee Rate schedule project to project

Dear Dina,
During approved cost budget preparation i am taking the named resources and the employee rate schedule serve the rate to me...For some of the projects if we need to go for the different rate schedule like mark up % (hike value)...project to project how can i incorporate such scenario in oracle projects????
Is it possible??????
pls help me thanks a lot n advance....

Dear Dina,
As you said Rate schedule can be utilized for budget version from the Employee rate schedule for an e.g 1 employee Employee1 had assigned 10$ (hourly rate) in rate schedule....
While creating budget version for some projects(not all) i need to increase from 10$ to 20$ for generating budget for that particular project....for one more project i want to show up budget for that employee as 25$ also ..again for standard project i want to use basic 10$ only....so project to project ...how can i change the rate schedule for budget generation....how to utilize the system that way...kindly help me...
thanks a lot n advance....

Multiple Flat bill rates in Projects

We have a requirement to capture and store multiple bill rates for an employee in a project and use one of those rates (based on time cards) to calculate revenue and invoice.
There is no logic or relationship between these rates. So we can’t use any multiplier or markup. They are just flat rates – rate1, rate2, rate3 etc..
So when employee enters time cards, he will chose that rate type (rate1 or rate2...) and our billing extension has to calculate based on that rate.
For this we need some place in project to store rates against the rate types for employees by project (because the rates for the employee may vary from project to project).
Please let me know if you have come across any such scenarios and how did you handle it.

Hi
You may consider utilizing the Rate Schedules form.
I assume there could be several projects, several employees and several rate types involved.
You could setup a separate schedule for each project and rate type. Within such schedule you can update the rates values per employee.
The name of the schedule could include a text indicating the rate type. You may enable a DFF attribute on the rate schedule header to hold the project number.

Project Center - How to Update / Correct the URL/Link stored in the Project Name field.

In the Project Center list, the link in the "Project Name" field for some projects take you the the project details page and some display the project schedule. How can I update/correct the links to display the project schedule?

Reason for this behavior is your enterprise project template which your project manager used for creating project.
We create Enterprise project template, associate PDP , Schedule, workflow according to our need then we use these Enterprise project template for project creation.
In your case some of the project manager must have used basic template( default template) for some project, Custom Enterprise template for some project and f you are using workflow then workflow template for some project, that is why you are able to see
PDP page first for some project and Schedule page for some project.
In order to change it you can change default PDP as schedule for Enterprise project template then open project save and publish them.

Setting frame rate for project?

I know this sounds like a dumb question. I'm having a bad hair day today. Just bought CoreMelt TrackX, and it isn't working properly. Jump to Motion. This is a Cinema 4K project. I set the default in the preferences to Digital Cinema 4K, which is automatically 23.98 fps. But. When I look at my Project 'Properties' it tells me I'm running at 29.97 fps. And the Inspector won't let me change the fps. I imported a clip at 4K 23.98 fps, and exported it out as source ... and I get 29.97 fps.
So, I'm just wondering where else I might have control over the fps in Motion? Or why I might be having this illogical discrepancy?
All ears,
Ben

Shut my mouth. I set the presets to 4K. Then created a NEW project, and the fps was as it is supposed to be. I thought I'd done this twice before. Maybe three times lucky. So my question is answered, thank you, until further notice, touch wood.

Where is the "Prevent Active Directory synchronization for this user" stored in the Project 2010 DB tables?

I would like to create a report from the DB that gives me all users in Project/PWA 2010 where the "Prevent AD sync..." box has been checked in the user/resource configuration, but I cannot find where this is in the Project databases. Our
DB is SQL 2008 R2.
Thanks,
Marty Hadden
MS Project Administrator

Hi Marty,
I might be wrong but the Prevent AD Sync details are not available in the Reporting db. Maybe you can check the published/draft databases (not supported) or you can configure a separate custom field and you can duplicate the information for each user
into this field. The custom field can be used in the reports based on the reporting database.
Hope this helps

Fair rate for project?

Let's just say they have money and the show that one of the three is on (PANEL) is doing other things.
It's one, maybe two days work cutting and adding music to clips.
What rate would you think is fair but good for both sides.
The other show that I don't want to mention here is world wide and network TV.

No simple answer. What are YOU worth for one or two days? What's the going rate for editors in your area? How fast and accurate are you in relation to others? Do you have some astounding star quality or technique that makes you more desirable than other editors?
Don't understand the cryptic comments in your first and last lines. What panel, what are you talking about?

I have an illustrated book stored in iPhoto projects that has been printed once but will be annually updated. If I upgrade to Mavericks, will this still be available to me for editing and reprinting.

I have an illustrated book saved in iPhoto projects which I plan to update and reprint in future. If I upgrade my Macbook to Mavericks from Yosemite, will I still be able to access, edit and reprint this?

If you're going to update the book each year I suggest you follow this tutorial to save the book in it's own library. That isolates it from the day to day library which could experience problems resulting in loss of project, i.e. the book: iP12 - Archiving an iPhoto 9 (11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date
The book library is often small enough that it can be copied to a CD or DVD for off computer backup.

RRB- Quantity from Project and rate from sales order

Hi All,
I got scenerio in my project where project is having resource related billing. Now ap per the client requirement, we have a sals order and projects. All prjects are software projects. Now my requirement is client is looking for a system there billing can be done at projet and resource level. which means if project is having 50 confirmed hours. In - dp91 one debit memo requiet should be created with 50 hours and rate should come sales order.
Means if on a project 50 hours has been confirmes than in debit memo request 50 hours should come from the prject and rate to be billed should come from sales order.
Kindly suggest.
Regards
Abhishek Sinha

Dear Virendra,Abhinay & Gokul,
Thanks a lot for giving guidance. As per conversation above i can feel that we can overwrite the rates from project to condition records in SD. Is there any specific condition type made for RRB as my SD consultant never worked on RRB scnerios. Again reconfirming, in my current system at the time of debit memo request sytsem is taking all cost from project for billing but i want that system should take the confirm actual hours from proect and rates to bill them from SD.
Once again thank a lot for showing interest. Sorry for replying late because of different time zone.
Regards
Abhishek Sinha

Project Resource Rates

Hello
we're using EPM 2010 and soon 2013 to manage our clients' projects.
we are using a centralised resource pool and people will enter Timesheet for project tracking.
one particularity is that every project is having a specific agreement on a rate for resources.
I know that we have 5 rate tables in EPM but I see this as a limitation because someone in his life will surely be assigned to more than 5 project and starting to play with talbles AND effective dates leads to management nightmares.
so my question is : do you see a way we can edit the resource rate per project?
do you see any other alternative for our use case?
regards
Jérome

Hello Jerome,
I've written a utility that allows you to define ratecards externally to your project, and then apply them as and when required. So say you had a rate card per customer, you could build that ratecard once, and then use the ratecard import utility to apply
those rates to each project you are executing for that customer.
It's not open source, but it is freely available within our MS Project add-on. See the middle section of this webpage ("Rate Card Utilities") for a description:

Programmatically update a Project after a resource rate change.

Hello, I have the following scenario (Project Server 2010):
1. The resource standard rate for an enterprise resource (Joe) have been changed from $120 to $125. The change was made in PWA
2. Joe has assignments in several projects
3. PMO wants to see the updated projects cost (due the rate change) in a Project Center view
Easy Solution:
In Project Pro, open and publish each project. Works just fine, the Project Center view shows the updated project costs.
Desire Solution: Using the PSI update all projects. At first sight is pretty simple:
1. ReadProjectList (only those where Joe has assignments)
2. For each project in the list do QueuePublish
But, seems to be there is no method in the PSI that "loads" the new resource rate, as Project Pro does when the project is opened.
I have tried with QueueUpdateProject and QueUpdateProjectTeam but I have no luck. Furthermore, programmatically I have made other changes to the project, like add a new resource to the team, then publish the project, and the change is shown but still it
continues working with the previous rate.
Any idea on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Daniel

I just got off the phone with Apple. They said it was a software-update related problem. I restarted the computer and everything is working.

Can a photo appear in a few albums/projects ???

when i try to set up an album,lets say 'summer 2010' and then i want a separate album,lets say 'best shots of 2010' i would like some of the shots from summer to also appear in this best of album but each time i do this each shot will only appear in one or the other album.
sorry not explained very well !

Yes.
The actual master images are stored within projects. Your albums normally would be associated with a project. The album contains pointers back to the master image and all the adjustments you applied to the master image in that album. You could have albums for your normal adjustments and perhaps another album to highlight something in particular and another album for your monochrome adjustments, all pointing back to the original master in the project.
When you import directly to an album as I tend to do (rather than the project that seems to be a default for Aperture 3), the physical masters are still stored in that project, and I view my versions in the new album. After that I can create an album of the highest rated pictures (or a smart album if you like) without the masters moving or any significant disk space being used to copy a file from project to album or album to album.
Now if you wanted to rate some pictures as five stars and have those show up in an album, you could create a smart album to do that easily. But then you would need another smart album so the five star pictures were excluded from the original album. Sounds like unnecessary work but I suppose you have your reasons...
Or if you make a real album (not a smart album) for the five star pictures, you can delete the versions in the original album and they won’t appear there anymore. Of course all the masters are safe in the project, and won’t be deleted when the version in the album is deleted. Post if still unclear...

How do I access files within projects of the same web application?

Using JDeveloper Studio 11.1.1.1.0
I'm creating a web application using the Model-View-Controller design pattern. Model represents data, View represents data display, and Controller is control...
In my application, I created two projects: EJBModel and UserInterface. EJBModel contains the model aspect so it has entity objects and beans to access/manipulate the data. The UserInterface project stores the web interface - mostly jsps. In the UserInterface project, I need a managed bean that calls methods from the beans created in the EJBModel project. I can do this using the @EJB annotation and creating an instance of the class, but since the files are in separate projects that can't see each other and JDeveloper shows an error because it can't find the necessary file. It is best practice to create two projects as it keeps both elements distinct.
So I wanted to know the best way to access the files stored in separate projects within the same application. Is there a way to package them together?
Thanks...

In the UI project, go to project properties->dependencies and add a dependency on the model project.
This way JDeveloper will know what classes you are referencing.
