AP invoices, assets and Project Costing

Hello:
We have a business environment where some invoices constitute a single asset. As a result we would like to avoid the overhead of creating assets and processing these assets that are comprised of a single invoice through Projects (capital projects screen).
We would like to have these invoices associated with a Project, Task, Expenditure Type, Org but instead route these invoices into mass additions instead of routing them through projects.
I belive that the Concurrent process called "Mass Additions Create Program" automatically routes any invoice that has been associated with a project directly into projects and does not allow the option of having these routed to mass additions.
My question is this. Is there any alternative here? Project Costing is forcing us to route these single invoice assets though Projects. Are there any other options or ideas or do we just have to live with this short-coming?
Many thanks,
Robert

I guess the only shortcoming is if you are trying to run these one line assets into a Capital Project rather than an Indirect or Contract Project. For in the case of the latter, your intended behaviour is certainly acheivable without having to resort to a workaround.
However, if you're trying to send these one line assets from AP into PA to a CAPITAL Project, as well as from AP into FA, your stuck. The system will not allow you to push to FA from AP if the line is also going to a Capital Project and the line is distributed to an Asset Clearing Account "CIP Account".
The manual is a little confusing on this point, but I am certain that for the Mass Additions Create program to pick up a line from AP and move it to FA, the line must have a CIP account designation if it is distributed to a Project. Thus, if the Project is also a Capital Project it can't be done because of the above outlined restiction.
There was a little bolt-on developed a few years back in the TeleCom vertical at Oracle which automated the creation of the Assets from within the Capital Project as telecom companies experienced similar overhead issues with having to "manually" define and move assets out of a Capital Project into FA.
Hope this helps

Assets and PS will be integrated with the WBS elements,
All the Project systems are created in to WIP and moved to WBS element which is linked to cost code and settled to Final Assets.
Project will be created as WBS elements and PS is also used for opex POs.

Allowed GR reversal affecting the project costs

Hi,
We have just performed our month-end settlement but when we are tallying our project costs and project costs clearing accounts, we have noted discrepancies. The discrepancies were from the reversals of GR for projects costs that were already settled. Is this really the standard of the system? To allow reversal of GR even if project costs were already settled to AUC?

Hi,
Suppose take a material A for which in month Jan you created a requirement PR-PO for the same, after that you did GR for the same in same month of Jan. Then you perform period end process for Jan., so your jan month will have actual of that material with respect to that CO object which will have actual posting in GL for that month. Now, in Feb general procees after period end process of jan, you reverse the GR with respect the present period that Feb. and and now you compare the value of settlement and present Account's value which would not match, so it will match once you settle this present updates with respet that material for the same CO object, then it will match with account's values

Migration of Revenue and Project Invoices

Hi,
We are implementing Oracle Projects (Costing and Billing) but AR is already implemented and using since long. We are migrating Revenue and Invoice data for open projects.
For revenue migration, we are uploading summarized cost and generating revenue and will reverse the entry in GL.
For Billing : We are entering one billing event per project and generating Invoice and then interfacing it to AR. In AR, we are making invoice Incomplete and then deleting the invoice from AR transaction form. We want to understand, is this the correct approach?

hi
Right click the Migrated wedynpro development component, Selece the Development component and select the deploy. If you have configured the j2ee engine , then the developed component will deployed to the j2ee engine

The impact of accrue at receipt and accrue at period end on project costing

What is the impact of checking the accrue on receipt flag on the PO shipment on the PRC: Interface Supplier Costs behavior?

Hi
The system should be setup with Accrual Method on Receipt (not on period end).
On PO shipments of Goods line type you may enable the check box - Accrue on Receipt. This is mandatory for Inventory destination and a default for Expense destination.
When goods arrived from the supplier you enter a receipt transaction. That receipt transaction will get accounted and sent to SLA and GL.
The process PRC: Interface Supplier Cost have several parameters. You can select to interface PO Receipts transactions into Projects Costing. You would select to interface invoices as well. The system will check if the receipt transaction has been interfaced to PJC. If so, only AP variances will be imported from AP to PJC. If the receipt transaction has not been interfaced to Projects, then the entire AP invoice will be imported.
Another option is to always interface receipt transactions to Projects, and from AP to always interface only the variances, regardless if the receipt transaction has been already imported or not.

Reversing A/P Invoice posted with wrong date and inventory cost adjustment

Here's the situation:
We had a PO dated 9/1/09 for items with a cost of $14.50, a Goods Receipt was entered 9/15/09 for the items with the same cost on the PO of $14.50. Somehow the order got lost in the mix and the AP invoice wasn't entered until today, with a posting date of 1/21/10 and the cost was corrected per the original vendor invoice to the right amount of $19.33. The invoice was actually dated 9/15/09. This resulted in hitting the vendor, purchases clearing and the inventory account (for the cost adjustment) in January 2010 when it should have occurred in September 2009.
The inventory itself has come and gone in the time between the GR and when the invoice was done with the incorrect date. Normally I would try to reverse the transaction with a Credit Memo and start over, however since the inventory side happened so long ago, I don't see any way of easily going backwards. I thought about doing service CM/invoice but what I am most concerned about is having the inventory valuation occur properly at the correct time. I'm not sure how to go about this.
Using SAP B1 2007A PL42 with moving average inventory.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Nicole,
I am afraid you may not have ability to do the adjustment based on historical date that long times ago. You know, the moving average has limited calculation based on current quantity and cost. There are no options to go backward especially new year is coming.
Thanks,
Gordon

Settlement of Project Cost and revenue to GL

I am trying to Settle the project Cost and Revenue to GL account. For the same I have defined settlement profile maintaining GL as optional receiver and then I have maintained Source structure for cost and revenue as to separate them at the time of defining settlement rule, defined Allocation structure where in receiver against source, I have assigned GL as by cost element receiver. After that I have maintained settlement rule for WBS element, but when I am running a settlement is done to either of the GL for cost or Revenue which ever is defined first in settlement rule. It is not creating any settlement for second line item of the settlement rule and system is not giving any error message as well.
Where as if I am trying individually only for cost or revenue , settlement is completed with all the values but with any accounting document generated, but if I see the entries to that GL, a settlement entry is created for that transaction.
Can anyone please help in solving this issue ASAP.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
    If it is posting to the first line means....
Follow the steps below:
First try to create a project and post the actuals and revenues.
Go to cost element report pick up those cost elements both for costs and revenues.
Go to Soruce Structure in the config, define the structure with name for Ex: 'Z1' and define two assignments, one is Costs and other Revenue, by selecting the costs go to Source mention the cost element where the actual costs are posted on (Mention only that cost element no other cost elements), next select the Revenue assignment and click on Source and mention the only cost element where the revenue wsa posted (Mention only that revenue cost element no other cost elements) and save the transaction.
Come back to project builder, select the wbs and click on settlement rule, in the menu goto-->settlement parameters and check whether the source and settlement profiles are correct or not, incase source structure is not available mention the same.
come back to settlement Rule overview and fill the fields as mentioned below:
1st line:   Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number
              Source Structure: COSTS
2nd Line: Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number (Revenue Account)
              Source Structure: REVENUE.
Now Run the Settlement for the specific period costs posted, the costs will be posted seperately to the two different GL Accounts.
I think this will resolve your problem.

Where can we see invoice doc. and payment doc. for asset based on its no.

Dear all,
For a particular asset, based on its number, is there any report which shows invoice, payment and other relevant documents.
Can any of you suggest me on this?
Thanks,
Kumar

HI
There is no direct standard report in Asset accounting for your requirement , but you can try the below--
Asset invoice means , if you have acquired your asset through raising a PO , then you have MIRO docnumber which is linked to Asset number, with the help of this FI document linked withh asset number you can find out the invoice documents against assets acquired.
Go to Bseg and search with asset number fields and doc type of MIRO I believe it will be RE ,it will show you the invoice docuemnts against the selected asset , then search for the clearing docs against these invoices in bseg , that will be your payment document.
So now have asset number ,invoice number ,payment doc number.
More logic you may apply like search for the link through MM tables , since PO is also having asset number , just check the link of Asset number with various documents and tables, you may ask your ABAPER to create a report or query for this.
cheers

VFO3 display invoice is showing product cost - What is RISK and Benefit. How to stop.

We’ve stumbled upon an existing Risk where users who have access to VF03 (Display Invoice) can see product cost by selecting Accounting Documents and PA documents (Value Field = Stock Value).
The VPRS must remain as the copa stock value. The issue is that sales and branch users can see the PA document.
What are the solution to hide that from sales and branch level or how to swithch on switch of user,
PLEASE kindley provide path as well.

Hi Kanapa,
Should the users who have access to see the invoice also have access to view PA documents? If not, speak to your security person. They should be able to check the authorization objects for the transaction and restrict access to those individuals.
Hope this helps.

I in need of oracle project costing,project billing and project management setup documents? can you please help me.

I am in need of project costing and project billing and project management setup documents with screen shoot? Can anyone help me?

I have no clue about recovering the info, but when you say you save you should always use Save As. That clears unneeded info from the file. With the file size you have, that may be an important need.
