Capital Project Cross Charge

Hi,
Our client want to use Cross charge (Across SOBs) for a capital project. As per the metalink note cross charge is not allowed for capital project.
Any workaround to use cross charge for a capital project
thanks in advance
Govind

Hi
I assume you want the project to capitalize assets on the owning organization SOB.
The costs incurred by other OU should not generate assets for the provider OU, only internal revenue or cost recover.
You may consider the inter project billing functionality where the receiver project is the capital project, while other OU are charging a provider project. The provider project will bill the capital project.

Projects Cross-charge functionality Vs Inter-project Billing

Hi,
We are currently evaluating the funtionalities of Project Cross Charge Vs Inter-project billing. Our setup is such that we have 3 Legal Entities, 3 Business groups, 3 SOB's and 3 operating units, each tied to their own legal entity, Business group and Set of Bools. When reviewing the documentation, it looks like the Cross charge functionality does not support operating units that are in two different business groups. Does that imply that we have use the Inter-project billing to charge projects across operating units.
We will really appeciate, if one can provide some additional insight in this regard.

Hi,
It is possible to have cross charge across the Business groups. It is also mentioned in Oracle Projects fundamentals guide. Please refer to the Global Project Support Chapter. Below is the extract from it.
Providing Data Access Across Business Groups
Global enterprises have resources and projects that are located, managed, and accounted
for in different business groups or different countries. To meet the needs of these
enterprises, Oracle Projects provides the following functionality:
• Globally located resources can charge their time and expenses to projects that are
owned outside their respective business groups.
• Resources can manage and administer projects located in different business groups.
• Oracle Projects produces appropriate accounting entries, intercompany invoices, and
management reports even if the resource organization and project owning
organization have different accounting calendars and job definitions.
This functionality is provided through the use of global organization hierarchies, global
jobs, and cross charge functionality.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

Does there is any restrictions of Cross Charg processing on Capital Project

Hello Experts,
Can you please help me in understanding about the restrictions of cross charging on CAPITAL CLASS of Oracle Projects?
If yes then can you please let me know the restrictions / exceptions.?
Thanks
:-)

Hi Dina,
We have a situation where all our capital projects are in US but employees OTL timecards entered for those projects going into OU/LE where emp belongs (Example- UK employee timecard imported in UK OU for the work he did for US capital project). Beause the cost for the labor transactions must be processed in the OU in which the project resides, labor hrs entered in UK is not picked by costing process. How to resolve this? We really don't use cross presently and don't want to use in future for capital projects? Is any way we can transfer approved expenditure batch to US?
Thanks

How to create cross charge AP invoice through Payables Open Interface Import

Hi,
I am working on developing an AP invoice interface program for creating cross charge invoices in Oracle 11i.
Cross charge invoice means the supplier & site is from operating unit A, but the costing should hit the project number in Operating unit B.
The pa_projects_all.allow_cross_charge_flag for the project number is set to Y. I am using below scripts to enter data into the interface tables:

Have you customized/setup the Project Accounting Workflow builder. You need to do some setup for this workflow builder so that the project accounts can be derived properly.

What is use of Capital & Manual Event in Oracle Capital Projects?

Hi Dina / Experts,
Can anyone explain me the real application scenario or use where Capital Event or Manual Event will be in used?
As per my understanding it is used for assigning and allocating unprocesses asset lines to Asset. But I am not sure.
Your detail explaination with example will really appreciated.
Thanks
:-)

Hi,
Event Processing Method*+: You can specify a capital event processing method to control how assets and costs are grouped over time. You can choose to use either periodic or manual events.
When you use periodic event processing, you submit a concurrent program that selects unprocessed assets and cost amounts for a project based on the in-service and expenditure item dates you specify in the program parameters. When you use manual event processing, you can specify the assets and costs that you want to include in the event, as well as the in-service and expenditure item dates.
When you submit the Generate Asset Lines concurrent program for a capital project that uses capital events, Oracle Projects automatically generates asset lines for all defined, unprocessed capital events.
To create a periodic capital event, you must submit the PRC: Create Period Capital Events.

Capital project WBS settle to AUC individually

Dear all experts,
please help me on the following issues.
i am working on a capital project. Investment profile is defined and assgined to the project profile.
the top WBS is T-09-001
the second level WBS are T-09-001-01, T-09-001-02, T-09-001-03, T-09-001-04, T-09-001-05 for example.
the third level WBS is T-09-001-05-01.
i do the test settlement when the project status is release. (i didn't maintain the settlement rule.)
the result is that every single WBS is settled to a FXA (the numbers are generated automatically)
for example
T-09-001-01 to FXA 1000/40047/0 30000CNY
T-09-001-02 to FXA 1000/40048/0 40000CNY
T-09-001-03 to FXA 1000/40049/0 40000CNY......
i am not sure if it is correct or not, because it's my first time to deal with capital projects.
if i want to settle all the sub-WBS to top WBS and the top one settled to AUC, how can i do it.
i manually maintain the settlement rule for all the sub-WBS to top WBS and settle the project again.
but the result is the same. i don't know where the problem is.
please tell me how to do it or how to settle the capital projects in most cases?
thanks a lot.
judy

Below was something which we had done in such case:
1. Created a substitution rule against the WBS element, if the level of WBS >=2 substitute the Investment profile with 'Blank'. With this when ever you create a project and save it or call the substitution from menu, system would retain the investment profile on level 1 WBS and when project is released only 1 AUC is created for the project which is on level 1 WBS.
2. Settle all other lower WBS to it's parent WBS and you can implement OSS note 211324 - CJB1: Strategy for settlement to superior WBS. Refer the below link about how this works:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/ModificationnoteforStrategyforsettlementtosuperiorWBS
Doing both the above, you would create only 1 AUC (on level 1 WBS) and finally settle all lower WBS to level 1 WBS and from there system would then automatically settle the costs to AUC fixed asset.

Capital projects and Grants Accounting

We looking at the feasibility of creating capital projects in Grants Accounting as part of our R12 project. I need to know whether it is possible to combine non-sponsored capital project types with our existing sponsored projects funded by awards. I have read the White Paper "Oracle Project Management Implemented with Oracle Grants Accounting" but the practical implementation is not clear.

All projects within Grants must be sponsored, even if they have a project type of capital. Due to the overlap in functionality, the use of Projects and Grants in the same OU is not permitted. As detailed in the white paper that you reference, some Projects functionlaity can be leveraged, but in limited capacity. So, you can set up your projects as capital projects in Grants (e.g. with a dummy customer), will this suffice? Is there a specific reason why the projects must be non-sponsored?
Please mark this comment as useful if it has helped.

Message BS013, Retire Asset from Capital Project w/ T-Code ABAON

We have constructed an asset two years ago, using Project Systems and Investment Measures, and now have sold the asset. When retiring the asset using t-code ABAON, we get a message no. BS013.
"Object WBS FVFR09.000002 has system status CLSD (Closed). According to this status, transaction 'FI: Postings' is not allowed.
I can open the Cost Object to get retirement to post, but when I have assets 10 years old and projects have been archieved, I see this as a problem in waiting I would like to resolve now. Also, I should be able to close a capital project and keep it as such, without needing to reopen it when I want to retire any related asset.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chan

I recommend trying to configure a change control message that would simply give a warning on this type of posting an not an error.
Good luck,
Tammy

How to change the Capital project to Expense Project

Hi All
Can anyone tell me is there any way to change the capital project type ( A1) to expense project type (01) . We have already posted AUC for this WBSE, is this possible to change?
Please reply as soon as possible
the Project and WBSE status is REL BUDG AUC SETC
Thanks
S.Murali

Hi S.Murali,
You can convert the capital project type ( A1) to expense project type (01) on some conditions !!
Case - 1. Assuming WBSE is not First Level WBSE and not with one Root :-
As the WBSE is already with the status "REL BUDG AUC SETC", first settle the remaining actual cost also to AUC if exists !!
Hope this WBSE is not a First Level WBSE, Then Lock this WBSE and create a new WBS Element and remove the Investment profile in that WBSE if it is coming by default or forget it !!
Now maintain the settlement rule with receiver as Cost Center as this is going to be a Expenses Project type.
Then release the WBSE and first settle the AUC of First WBSE to newly added WBSE by maintaining settlement rule for this AUC.
Now you can Use this Project as Expenses Type Project !!
Case - 2. Assuming the WBSE is First Level and with One root : -
Better settle WBSE to AUC and Lock the project. Create new project and settle AUC value to new WBSE, If your client wants this actual cost also to be available in the newly created project otherwise you can directly settle to Cost center.
Hope this clears you !!
Regards,
Hari.

Capital Projects

Hello All
Can some one clarify if a contract project can be treated as a Capital project as well, like have cotract project with the asset information and to be able to tranfer cost into asset
Business needs system to be able to support the billing fundtionality on their contract projects, though it capital project in course of project there might be a need where they capitalize some cost.
Would highly appreciate your inputs
Thanks

ThanksHi,
You can look at the allocation functionality. Lets say you have the source project as Capital project and the destination project as Contract Project. You can allocate the amount you want to bill the customer by transferring the cost from the capital project to the contract project. You can also look at the allocation client extension to define your custom allocation logic.
This way you may achieve both the functionality.

Cross Charging between Countries (US and Canada)

Hi All,
I have a Canadian employee charging expenses to a US project.
When completing the expense type and tax code SAP requests a jurisdiction code and we apply an exempt tax code.
Processing the payment run using TRAN: PRFI the system accepts the expense item in the posting run.
When processing the TRAN:PRRW the system rejects the posting run with a message indicating that the Jurisdiction code used is of the correct length.
I have created a US Jurisdiction code that replaces the Canadian Jurisdiction code during the process.
I am also aware that the reason we are getting the error is because SAP recognizes that the vendor we are trying to process the expenses report for is Canadian and therefore looking for the correct Jurisdiction code to charge against
I hope this is making sense.
Any solutions/help/suggestions/pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anisha.

Hi Marli,
There are not too much differences between US and Canada DB. Segments accounts are available to Canada too.
1099 and Use Tax will be only available within US db.
Thanks,
Gordon

Capital Project Settlement Rule for lower WBS

Hello,
At my present client, for Investment projects the client want to settle top level WBS to AUC and capitalise it. So ideally the cost from lower level WBS should flow to top WBS. I am using substitution to remove investment profile from lower WBS.My concern is how do I auto populate the settlement rule for lower WBS to top WBS. I am aware about settlement strategy and OSS note 211324 (however dont want to implement this note)
The appraoch I am looking for is using "WBS_SETTLEMENT_RULE' BAdI . However this BADI calls for strategy and I could not maintain the required strategy (settlement to top WBS). Is there some BADI/Function module available which can be called for updating the settlement rules on lower WBS while saving or Release ? Can I make use of exits in Substitution?
Please let me know your opinions.
Thanks
Sarang

Thanks Virendra. I agrree the only approach is development. But I need to give inputs to my developer.
We tried with BADI "WBS_SETTLEMENT_RULE" but it didnt work as it calls strategy in configuration.
So I am checking for some other options for e.g "WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE" which is called during save or Fn modules K_SETTLEMENT_RULE_FILL or K_SETTLEMENT_RULE_SAVE which I can use. This is a client requirement to create AUC only at top level n all cost to be rolled up to superior WBS n then settle to AUC.
The other option I was thinking is of using exits thru substitution.
What will be the best approach?
Thanks
Sarang
