Grants-Projects/Awards Reconciliation & GL

What are the main reasons for reconciliation problems between Projects and Awards, including summary and detailed information??
Grants and GL reconciliation-main problems? The project and award segments in GL are necessary? If not, how to reconciliate Grants with GL?
Thanks in advance

I have experience in intergrating project accounting to the general ledger in a data warehouse using discoverer to show the results.
The solution I developed for my compnay is to ensure all entries from all sub-ledgers including manual journal entries are moved to the data warehouse tables have project information based on PA autoaccounting rules.
The company I work for was interested in viewing reports that cubed cost centers (dept's.) to projects and to translate all entries (not just account balances) to USD for thier foriegn set of books. So, projects can be seen company wide in USD at lowest entry level. The solution I gave them solved the problem and they are able to view reports and evaluate costs by cost centers and projects on an enterprise wide application.
If this is what you are looking for let me know.
about my self : I have a B.S. in Computer Science (Theoretical Track) and 17 yrs of accounting and book keeping experience including consolidation and multi-currency sets of books.

  • Move Project (Award) budget amount from one project to another

    Hi,
    As per Oracle standard functionality, in Grants Accounting (Projects)
    -- Can the budget amount for a project under an award be moved to another project
    -- Can the budget amount for a project under an award be moved to another project another award
    - In general is there a way to move the funds between projects or awards ?
    Thanks!

  • Project Server 2010 permissions granted through RBS are not flowing through to Project Sites.

    Hi,
    I have configured RBS as "The Project Owner is a descendant of the user via RBS"  its working fine for Projects.
    But users are  facing access denied issue when working with project sites RBS is not working for project sites.
    Can any  one Help me How can i grant permissions Automatically for project sites also as same like projects is it possible ?
    The Members in  Executives group can see all projects in organization but same like can they see all project sites ? 
    I have found one blog of
    RaymondRis he is recommending to do it manually as its not possible to grant Project site permissions Automatically.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/raymond_ris/archive/2013/05/09/project-server-2010-permissions-granted-through-rbs-are-not-flowing-through-to-project-sites.aspx
    Thank You, Kumar KSV

    Kumar,
    The permissions to project sites is not cotrolled by the RBS, as you have discovered. It is controlled by the Security Category permisisons, and the settings if the permssions are auto synced. The permissions work like this:
    Project managers who have published a project or who have Save Project permissions on a project are added to the Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
    Team members with assignments in a project are added to the Team members (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
    Other Project Server users who have View Project Site permission on a project are added to the Readers (Microsoft Project Server) site group. 
    As long as you use the Auto Sync of permisisons for project sites, i do not think there is any work around.

  • Funds Management as a budget source for Grants Management

    Hi:
    I have grant type whose budget source has been set as Funds Management and transfer to FM check box is also on. Now i have a fund center and commitment item which have been assigned to sponsored program and sponsored class master data respectively. I have created a grant with reference to these Sponsored program and sponsored class in initial draft phase. Now i want to post budget in FM and then automatically transfer it to GM as soon grant is awarded. I am following link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/3e/1b7e3cda04f678e10000000a11405a/content.htm .
    In FM i have posted a  budget (but did not release it) against an external fund, also against commitment items and fund centers which have been assigned to SC & SP respectively. Grant field is set as non relevant grant.
    Now my question is at what point in time budget will be will be updated in Grants management , How will the transfer from FM to GM happen ? Please guide me
    Regards

    Hi Shyamal:
    Please note that a DUMMY grant has been created in customizing Define "Not-relevant grant". I am following the process e.g
    1..1 have 3 Million Research & education budget for year 2012-13  and for a varying sponsored programs and a sponsored class linked with fund center and commitment items respectively
    2..Of these 3 Million i am expecting that i will receive 1 Million as grant .
    3..In FMBB i ENTER 3 Million budget against DUMMY Grant along with combination of fund,FC & CI.
    4.As soon an MOU is signed with Grantor and he releases amount 0.6 Million  for budget i create a Grant master ans set its status to award ..Grant number generated is XYZ
    5.Now i n FMBB, i try to release budget again this grant number but system is throwing error that budget amount is not sufficient for release for combination XYZ/FC/CI/Fund , system is true in saying so because earlier budget was entered and posted for DUMMY Grant and now i am trying to release it for Grant XYZ. System does not let me directly ENTER budget in FMBB against Grant XYZ and throws error "Grant XYZ can not be used to enter budget in FM".
    Please note that in Grant type budget source has been explicitly defined as "Funds Management"

  • HI, about tables used in plm

    can any body give me the tables used in sap-plm and the flow of plm.

    Hi,
    PLM is very huge module in itself, so there no such pre-defined flow in PLM,
    yes it is available in CFolders & for CProjects but not for complete PLM,
    As PLM involves Material Master, BOM, DMS, ECM/OCM, CAD Integration all these can even be linked to CFolders & CProjects depending on demand of scenarios or requirements.
    <u>Flow can be Like</u>
    Creation of Material Master
    MM01/MM02
    > Create/Change of BOM <b>CS01/CS02</b>>Assignment to Classifications (Charaterstics/Class) CL02/CT04 depending on requirements again-> Create/Change DIR (Document Information Records) <b>CV01N/CV02N</b>> CV04N ---> CAD Integration, ECM Cycle can be included for Revisioning/Versioning of these Objects (MM,BOM DIR etc)
    i.e. Create/Change ECR/ECO,
    CC31/CC32 or CC01/CC02--> assignment of relevant objects (MM,BOM,DIR etc) as per requirments again.
    Linking these scenarios with CFolders & CProjects
    Process Flow in Cprojects
    The project leader creates a project (see Creating a Project Definition).
    2. The project leader structures the project by creating phases, checklists with checklist items, and tasks (see Creating a Project).
    3. The project leader includes a subproject (see Work with Subprojects).
    4. The project leader plans links to business objects (for example, materials, purchase order items, inspection plans, work breakdown structures, networks, and so on). (See Creating an Object Link).
    5. The project leader carries out scheduling (see Scheduling).
    6. The project leader carries out resource planning (see Project Resource Planning).
    7. The project leader starts the calculation of costs and revenues for resources in the connected SAP R/3 system from within cProjects.
    8. The system calculates the costs and revenues for resources. This calculation is saved in cProjects and can be displayed there.
    9. cProjects makes the project known in SAP R/3 CO.
    10. The system generates an internal order as a cost collector for the project.
    Once this step has been completed, costing is deleted in cProjects and the data is saved with the cost collector.
    11. The project leader creates a snapshot to document the current status of the project (see Creation of Simulations and Snapshots).
    12. A project participant creates a control plan for the project (see Creating and Opening a Control Plan).
    13. A project participant creates a project status report (see Creating Project Status Reports).
    14. A project participant creates business objects in SAP R/3 and assigns them to project elements (see Maintaining an Object Link).
    15. A project participant creates documents and assigns them to project elements in cProjects (see Assigning Documents and Creating Folders). He or she also assigns documents to the project in Microsoft® Windows File Explorer (see Integration with Microsoft® Windows File Explorer).
    16. A project participant carries out the Design Collaboration with cFolders scenario.
    17. A project participant processes tasks and checklist items and confirms them (see Confirming Tasks or Confirming Checklist Items).
    18. Project participants confirm the progress of the project to the project’s cost collector in regular intervals.
    19. A project participant carries out evaluations (see Creating and Displaying Evaluations).
    20. A project participant uploads project data to the SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) to create cross-project reports there.
    21. The project leader names a substitute (see Substitute).
    22. The project leader creates a simulation of the operational project (see Creation of Simulations and Snapshots).
    23. The project leader reconciles the simulation with the operational project (see Reconciliation and Comparison of Versions).
    24. The project leader starts the approval process (see Beginning an Approval).
    25. Period-end closing is carried out for the cost collector.
    This activity is repeated periodically during the course of the project.
    26. The decision makers approve the phase (see Granting or Rejecting Individual Approvals).
    27. Once all phases have been approved the project is complete.
    28. The project leader archives the project (see Archiving).
    29. The project leader closes the cost collector and archives it.
    Hope you are clear,

  • I have trawled the  internet, no luck.

    Recently I "inherited" an iPhone 2g from a good friend.
    It does have the latest OS installed. The problem that occurs very frequently is with Safari. When visiting the App store, the moment I find the link to download an App, nine times out of ten, Safari pops up with the notice, Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid, above this is a notice from the os telling me that there  is no fault.. This doesn't happen too often with external links.
    Yes, I have cleared the cookies and checked the restrictions ad nausium.
    OOF.

    Sadly your suggestion, while it may prove to be handy, doesn't quite solve my problem. Perhaps I can explain the problem more thoroughly.
    I have a table of people and a table of awards and I suspect I will need an intersection table to relate person_ID, award_ID and award_date. Only a subset of the people in the table are elligible for any particular award. What I am trying to achieve is, for any one particular award, to display a tabular form showing a list of all
    elligible people whether or not they have already been granted that award such that if they have been granted the award it will display the award date and if they haven't been granted the award the date field will be blank.
    Then the user can record any new award dates and submit. This will update the records in the intersection table. The trick then becomes one of determining which records have been edited and have to be updated and which ones are left unchanged and not updated and which ones are new and need inserting.
    Hope this makes sense

  • 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?

  • When to consider Using Oracle Grants Accounting Over Oracle Projects Acct?

    Hello Experts / Dina,
    Could you please help me in understanding the situation where I must use Oracle grants Accounting rather than Oracle Project Accounting?
    I mean what is the driving feature of Oracle Grants Accounting which is missing in Oracle Project Accounting.
    Also if I implement Oracle Grants Accounting then is it possible for me to setup oracle project accounting ( costing / billing ) under same environment ? If Yes it is possible to implement under same Environment then is it possible to setup BOTH under same operating Unit?
    Please help.....
    Thanks
    :-)

    Hi Samba,
    I believe that the document Dean refers to is found in this MOS note:-
    Project Managment & Grants Accounting Are Certified To Work In Same Operating Unit [ID 878214.1]
    To address some other points:-
    1) Grants Accounting (GMS) uses many of the same database objects as Project Accounting (PA). The best way to think of it is as a "customisation" of Project Accounting; albeit one that has been created by Oracle. For example, when a new grant is created (called an Award, stored in GMS_AWARDS_ALL) a supporting record is also automatically created in PA_PROJECTS_ALL
    2) Because of 1), Grants Accounting and Project Accounting cannot be implemented and used independently within the same Operating Unit; Grants is built on Projects. However, some Projects features can still be used directly, such as elements of Project Management as described by the above document
    3) Grants tends to only be used within the higher education, research and public sectors. Organisations within these industries typically have complex project funding structures, and have a requirement for tight budgetary control enforced by the system. Grants provides functionality to cater for both of these requirements, better than Projects does on its own. This does of course come at a price; by implementing Grants there are some Projects features that are not available

  • Grants vs Projects

    I am currently involved in an r12 reimplementation for a HEI that uses the Oracle Grants module, and we are proposing to move to a totally project centric model for the accounting. However, there appears to be much confusion as to whether Grants and Projects modules are compatible. After reading around, my understanding is that Grants and Projects cannot be used in the same operating unit (as they are essentially different versions of the projects subledger), but that they can co-exist in differing operating units in the same legal entity under the same ledger?
    If anyone could clarify this, that would be great and I would also like to hear if others have experience of implementing both Grants and Projects, in HEI's or elsewhere, or trying to use Grants for all project related expenditure.

    Hey Alejandro -
    Your Portfolio is what people will see when they view your profile and this is the most important part of being on Behance. Yours is found here: http://www.behance.net/AlejandroLorenzo
    Collections are just a way that you can be making sets of work that you admire or want to save in some way. These are just ways to explore Behance, don't think of them as "collections of your work," that's what your Portfolio is. Collections are a way to save work you like from others. But, if you did want to add your own work to a collection, you'd just view your own project and click "add to collection" in the right hand side column.
    Hope this helps clarify!

  • Material reconciliation should be done vendor wise or  project wise

    Hi all,
    how to do material reconciliation should be done vendor wise or  project wise?? any help....MIRCMR is not working

    You could use MB51/MB5B report in ALV grid and have look ups the way you wish with either Vendor or WBS/Network. However, it will not give you correct picture as Vendor is only associated with receipts (and subcontracting issues) and hence you will find lot many issues without vendor - all clubbed together.
    For projects, it will only show you transactions groups per project where your inventory is assigned to project, but for rest it will again be grouped together.
    Your requirement to see stock as per project is relevant if all your inventory is sub-divided into project stock only.

  • Shortdump on grant approval of project phases

    Hi,
    A phase in a project is created abd then released after assigning a suitable resource as responsible for approval and approval process is started.
    Resource logs on to project management view in portal, clicks on approvals tab to view list on approvals pending for his/her approval.
    System works well up to this point.
    When the resource opens the approval, enters a comments and clicks on grant approval button, we get a short dump.
    " Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible"
    However we do not get any short dump if resource rejects the approval, the system status correctly gets updated as rejected.

  • Does Project Manufacturing and Grant Accounting is part of Prj Suite?

    Hi Dina / Experts,
    Can you please explain whether module Project Manufacturing and Grants Accounting is part of Oracle Project Suite?
    Do u have any refer documents for it?

    Grants Accounting is technically part of the Projects Suite but Project Manufacturing is not. You will find information on Proj Manufacturing in the Discrete Manufacturing area on the Oracle website.

  • Restrict Award Types in respect of Grant Types in GM-GTE

    Dear Experts,
    We are implementing GM-GTE in our client. As per client, they have provided us 3-4 award types to be used for a single Grant Type. For example, For Grant Type A1, we have got Award Types 01, 02, 03, 04 and for Grant Type A2, we have got Award Types 11, 12, 13, 14.
    Now when we go in GMGRANT for creating a grant and in the box of Award Types, we can see the whole list of Award Types available regardless of Grant Types (in our case that would be 01, 02, 03, 04, 11, 12, 13, 14). I want to know how can we restrict those, so that they can be only used with their relevant Grant Types and not availble to use with any other Grant Type, which does not pertain to it. Is their any standard method to do it?
    Regards,
    Amar

    There is no standard way to accomplish this. Your ABAPER can define customer enhancements related to the business object Grant (BUS0035) for the required functionality.

  • Project Link to Grants

    Freinds,
    Any idea how the projects and the grants are linked through backend tables???
    Appreciate your response
    Thanks,
    Raghav

    Hi,
    This is a very generic question and probably difficult to answer specifically. What I can say is that for each of the functionalities that are available in Grants, if there are separate tables available in Grants then those are used, else the Projects tables are used to store the Grants transaction data.
    Some of the popular Grants tables i can recollect are: gms_encumbrance_items_all, gms_bc_packets, gms_balances, gms_awards_all, gms_award_distributions, gms_summary_project_fundings, gms_burden_components, gms_event_intersect, gms_exp_type_act_cost, gms_project_types, etc.
    Thanks,
