Attribute Functions in Oracle Project Management Setup

I have been trying to find the functionality and applicability of the menu option " Attribute Functions" that is available in Oracle Project Management Setup.
I have used attribute groups and context to create view / placeholders to capture additional information related to the project, but have not been able to figure out the applicability of Attribute Functions.
Please help me if anyone has used it or know how to use it.

Hi,
Refer Oracle Project Management User Guide. (Section 2: Workplan and Progress Management)
Oracle Projects archives all submitted task and workplan progress. You can correct
submitted progress records and create backdated progress records.
Backdating Progress
============
You can create backdated progress records to fill gaps in the progress history of a task
or project. You can select any non-cycle progress date prior to the system date and enter
progress for this past date.
For example, you can enter backdated progress for a Friday in the past even if a project
has a progress cycle with Monday as the reporting day.
You enter an As of Date, progress status, a brief overview, comments, and physical
percent complete when you enter backdated progress.
Backdated progress transactions are for informational purposes

  • 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.

  • Is Oracle Project Management has all features which Microsoft Project Plan?

    Hello Experts,
    Customer wanted to start using Oracle Project Management suit completly along with little Microsoft project plan. as of now most of the projects are using microsoft project plan for project management and Oracle Project suit is for Costing and Billing.
    But in order to start this initiative, we need to explain the difference which Oracle Project Management can not able to do but Microsoft project plan can. Based on this management will take the decesion.
    As per my understanding, Orace Project Management can perform all the tasks except scheduling. As it supports scheduling from third party software like Microsoft project plan / primavera etc.
    Rest I think Oracle Project management suit is equally matured to perform all the project management task which Mircosoft project management can perform.
    So experts , can you please confirm my understanding and provide me some light on this topic.
    Thanks :-)

    Hi,
    First of all, I would like to know what are the various things you are performing with a Microsoft project plan apart from scheduling the resources to a specific project .
    Through Oracle Project Management, you can control the visibility of a resource,assign it to a particular project and control the tracking of the time in various assignments.If that is what you are trying to achieve through Oracle Project Management icnluding the other features it has, you can surely go for it.
    Let me know if you have any doubts on it.

  • Compare Oracle Project Management and Primavera

    Hi All,
    We are using Primavera today and it is not integrated to Oracle.
    We are also currently implementing Oracle Projects Management (R12.1.3) and trying to evaluate if Primavera can be replaced by Projects Management. Based upon my little experience with Primavera - I see some advantages of Primavera over Projects Management e.g.
    a. Primavera is more user friendly than Oracle Projects Management.
    Primavera: easy to create workplan; configurable views; generate reports with gantt charts
    b. Primavera has scheduling engine to derive schedules based upon dates/duration/logic while Project Managment does not have it.
    c. Gantt charts are better in Primavera than Oracle Projects Management.
    Has anyone also done similar kind of analysis and evaluated the need of Primavera integration with Oracle Projects Management? I would appreciate if you can share your inputs.
    Thanks,
    Nitin

    Hi,
    I have used both the product. For project management i would suggest to use primavera for the same reason u mentioned.
    the only disadvanage in primavera is it is not integrated with ERP.
    Now oracle provide a AIA PIP integration package to integrate Primavera with oracle Projects(Limited integration). Use primaver for Project managment and oracle for Project Costing and Billing

  • Oracle Project Management and Oracle HCM integration????

    Is there any benefits of Oracle Project Management for users of Oracle HCM?? Can they be integrated and how?

    ERP systems were built because you could use various products like Fin, HCM, CRM, Project accounting etc seamlessly as all are built by the same provider and you will have less interface headache.
    So, based on what your company's requirements, you can choose to implement one or more of the products.

    A new “Pay when Paid” payment term for subcontracts automatically places holds on all subcontractor invoices under that subcontract until the corresponding customer payment is received.
    Subcontract Payment Controls workbench allows project manager to manage the holds, with visibility into both the customer invoices and the related subcontractor invoices.
    Workflow notifications about the receipt of the customer payment allow the project manager to automatically or manually release the subcontract invoice.
    Associations between the customer invoices and the subcontractor invoices may be automatically maintained based on the billing of project expenditures for cost-plus contracts, or may be manually maintained for fixed price contracts.

    Support for the tracking and monitoring of subcontract deliverables that place automatic holds on subcontractor invoices in the case of noncompliance.
    Oracle Procurement Contracts allow a subcontract administrator to specify payment impact controls that will take effect when a subcontract deliverable is not met.

    New User in oracle project

    Hi
    You may want to review the documentation of Oracle Projects.
    The idea is to read the Overview chapter of each book, to get the main idea about the functionality.
    Look at the following documents for the release you are on.
    Oracle Projects Fundamentals (PJF)
    Oracle Projects Costing User Guide (PJC)
    Oracle Projects Billing User Guide (PJB)

  • Block users in Oracle Identity Manager 9.1.0.2

    Hi,
    I have a status query (User Locked) user in Oracle Identity Manager 9.1.0.2.
    The option to block users, seen in the web administration console of Oracle Identity Manager appears in a disabled state. As I can enable this functionality in Oracle Identity Manager 9 ..?
    Thanks for the support

    Didn't get your question exactly.
    Whenever someone tries to login with wrong password then he gets Locked into OIM. You'll have to go to Admin Console and Unlock it. You can also do this from DB as well.
    To lock user from Admin console, you'll have to create a custom button and extend the same action class to Lock that user into OIM.
    Workaround
    Create a UDF called LOCK.
    Create a trigger on this UDF i.e. whenever LOCK value changes to TRUE then lock the user using DB query or API (UPDATEUSER -- Users.Lock User)

    Hi All,
    Can any please let me know Benfits, Features between Oracle Projects VS Primavera?

    Hi
    Primavera is a scheduling tool, where you plan the project activities, assign resources, may track resources load and update planning.
    Oracle Projects is basically an accounting system for costing and billing, which Primavera cannot do. It is integrated with other ERP modules.
    Oracle Project Management has many similarities with Primavera, but is lacking the scheduling engine.
