How to derive/generate Revenue only wth Project costing?Burdening possible?

Hello Experts / Dina,
I am doing a implementation to customer where only Project costing is in scope and customer wanted to derive / generate revenue for few of the revenue generated project using oracle project costing. Currently this customer is using legacy external application to enter manual journal for revenue.
So can you please provide me workaround to achieve only revenue generation using oracle project costing?
I have one workaround but wanted to validate from you all experts. Plz help me...
1. Enabling budening on same expenditure item I can generate revenue using burden schedule and setup total burden cost db and cost cr account in auto accounting so that burdent Cost Crd account will be a reveue account and burden Cost dbt account will be UBR a/c. and then transfer the burden cost to GL as revenue vs UBR.
This work around is thorotical and dont know what is implication of burden mulitpliers. If I used this workaorund then revenue (burden cost) amount is depend upon the expenditure orgnization multiplier and not on job based or employee based. How to solve this problem?
I think there is possibility to drive the burden multiplier based on expenditure types..if taken that approch then end up in creating lot of expenditure type for each multiplier.
So please help with workaround or someother method.
Thanks

Hi Dina,
First of all many many thanks for posting your answer on this question.
1. > I tried using total burden schedule approch to generate revenue but I think there is problem to restrict the accounting for the expenditur items which should not be burden ( need not to be generate revenue). As Total burdening approch creates burden accounting as raw cost though burden mulitplier is not specified ( system takes as value 0) :(
2.> Then I tried a approch of using create & distribute burdening method ( burdening on separate expenditure item) - This works fine and generate burden accounting ( revenue a/c -& UBR). And provides a restriction of generating revenue on selected expenditure items based on burden schedule schedule (multiplier as 0 not specified). On Expenditre Inquiry also can reports a revenue after querying on Expenditure Type Class as "Burden Transactions". You can also reverse items and reverse costing / burdening ( reveneu ) with normal standard process.
3.> If I wanted to use borrowed and Lent processing then I guess it will be easy. But only problem is I can't keep Project Org as Resource Org. Then there is pain in defining lot of resource organization and project organization ( I m not sure customer will agree :() . Also after referring the Project API guide I am still confuse about 2 diff extention doing same thing.
a.> Transfer Price Determination Extension b.> Transfer Price Override Extension . Can you please explain what is difference between both of them and wat is purpose for both of them?
Also In case i don't used the extension then I will be left only using Transfer price % ( 100% + ) to derive my revenue price? rght? Also I am not sure how can customer will have restrictions on the expenditure items which should not generate revenue? ( By defining another transfer price schedule on the selected TASKS with rule as transfer price % 0? )
and I hope by using borrowed and lent processing I can do adjustments ( like reversing of revenue ) as standard way?
Please guide.
Thanks a ton !!!
Cheers,
:-)

How to derive value on Controlling Area on Cost Element or any other entity

Hi Experts,
I want to derive a value of 1000 on the controlling area when we create a cost element. I have tried DERIVE_CELEM but it seems that Controlling area can only trigger Derivation on other fields once it is manually populated.
Any ideas if this could be possible?
Thanks
Riaan

Hello Kaustubh
Just wanted to understand why you want to default the controlling area? Its a key field and changing it as attribute will have lot of issues.
One way you can try is to create a Change dummy CR and keep it in executable mode. User can copy the CR and create their own. Other ways is use the BRF+ and try to default the controlling area.
One more point, normally you have one or two controlling areas so I really don't see any need for changing the data model and do the coding for populating controlling area,
@Michael - Please add your views and any better suggestion.

Effect of revenue planning on project cost.

Hi Expersts,
I am creating a sales order and attaching it to WBS element. I have entered amount for which i want to bill to customer as per price conditions for a item in sales order.Now this value of sales order is captured as a revenue in WBS element (When i run CNS41).
Now when i am creating a billing document and the accounting document, the actual revenue is also getting reflected against the WBS element (In CNS41).
This way i am planning to bill to customer.
Questions are
1. In my case this is the one time billing to customer and hence i am not using the milestone billing. Then is this a correct method?
2. At present i dont see any effect of revenue on cost of project. Can anybody guide me on is there any effect of this revenue on planned and actual cost of the project during the project closure stage?
Thanks

1 ok
2 no effect of rev on planned and actual cost - cost and rev are two different things for cns41

No Funding Error while generating Revenue

Hi there,
While generating Revenue for a project, we get a no funding error.
There are actually multiple agreements for the Project and there is enough funding for the event across all the agreements but not against any one of those. What is the best way to handle this scenario?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I assume your agreements are set with Hard Limit for revenue.
You could relieve the control into soft limit.
Otherwise, you could update the event amount to an amount that meets the fund available in one agreement, and create a separate event for the remaining amount. The second event should accrue revenue on another agreement.

Creating Master Project - Child Projects Hierarchy in Project Costing

Hello,
Is it possible to create a Master Project (for example, for a division) and one or many Child projects for that divisions as the projects get rolled out?
A division is given a budget which can be assigned to the Master Project and as the divisional Projects are rolled out with a specific budgeted $s, the Master Budget would be reduced with a new version, so the total budget amount at Master Project Level remains the same.
Just like each sub-task roll up to a Top task and top-task make up the total Project, is it possible to create hierarchical Master-child project relationship with up roll up capability.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Note: The client @ 11.5.10 does not have License to use Project Contracts, and uses only the Project Costing module.
Regards.

How do we adjust Revenue Generated from an automatic Event in Oracle Project Billing?

Hi @All,
Can someone please help me on below Query.
Once we generate revenue based on automatic events and revenue has been accepted in GL, How do we adjust this revenue?
Thanks in advance,
Satya Kumar Vaddi

If you wish to adjust the revenue in PA, Enter Manual events to adjust the automatic events; process it as a normal process and interface revenue to GL. If not in PA, Pass the journal entry in GL directly.

How do we create a "Milestone" in Projects and generate billing

Dear Experts
Please help me on a following scenario:
Requirement is to have a project with multiple milestones as tasks. And then on completion of milestone, we expect the system to trigger a billing event to generate project customer invoice.
Please advise me how can we handle this requirement in PA, what distribution rule needs to be used, what customizations are required, how does the system will understand the completion of a milestone .
Please note that we are using only Project Costing and Billing modules. Project Management or Project Contracts is not used by us.
Thanking you in advance and looking forward for your help.

Hi
You could use a billing extension to create a billing event. However, the user need somehow to enter the date of the Milestone completion.
Assuming you have only one milestone per task you may use the following method. Consider the use the form titled Percent Complete. On that form user may enter a line per task, and upon completion of the task, user need to enter Percent Complete as 100%, and the As of Date value. Then user need to run the GDI process that will call the billing extension.
The billing extension will look at that table and create an automatic event for each task (milestone) that got 100%. Note that you will need to design the logic of the billing extension so it will know which task was already billed in prior GDI runs, and will not create further events for that task.
About Project Management -
You can create deliverables for each task when creating the workplan. A deliverable could be your contractual milestone. The deliverables type should be such that allow the Billing action. When milestone is completed, user need to enter the date of completion, and select the action of - Create Deliverable-based-Event.
Then go and run the GDI process. In that case you will not need to develop a billing extension. However, if you only need a solution for billing, this PJT module is not the recomended solution.

How can I generate 2 AOs ? ( ONLY ONE ok )

Hello everyone,
I need to generate 2 different square waveform AOs ( both have a 1sec cycle) :
N°1 : 5 ms high and the rest of the time low
N°2 : 14 ms high end the rest of the time low
n°1 and n°2 work fine when generated seperatly. However, the VI I have attached doesn't work when I want to generate both signals at the same time.
(I am using a PCI-6221 card and Labview 8.0)
Would anybody know how I could generated those two signals at the same time?
Any help would be great,
Marc
Attachments:
2 AOs.vi ‏55 KB

Cela n'est malheureusement pas possible avec une seule carte PCI-6221 car - comme indiqué dans le message d'erreur - les deux tâches entrent en conflit puisqu'elles utilisent la même ressource de la carte. Une solution - malheureusement onéreuse - consiste à utiliser deux cartes.
Une deuxième solution pourrait consister à générer l'un des signaux à l'aide d'une autre ressource de la carte (sortie compteur ou numérique). Dans ce cas, la tension de sortie sera limitée à la plage TTL.
Une troisième solution est décrite dans ce document. Elle consiste à utiliser un timing software pour la génération de l'un des deux signaux. Ceci n'est applicable uniquement si l'un des deux signaux ne varie pas trop rapidement et que les exigences au niveau de la précision du timing pour ce signal ne sont pas trop élevées. Selon la précision attendue pour la durée de l'impulsion de 14ms, cela pourrait être une variante.

Project Revenue as in Project Currency

Hi ,
Can we generate the revenue in the project Currency irrespective of Project Functional Currency ?
In Project Billing Manual -- It has been mentioned that If you select Project Functional Currency and Invoice Transaction currency as Revenue Transaction currency On your Multi Currency Project , The GDR Process calculates Revenue in the Invoice Transaction Currency ..
I tried to Check the Box in the Currency Tab Invoice By Billing Transaction currency and tried to select Revenue Transaction Currency as Project Functional and Functional and Invoice Transaction Currency but as soon as i Checked the Box , it get freezed and not letting me to select the Revenue Transaction Currency as Project Functional and Invoice Transaction Currency .
Can any one help me on this issue ...if it possible to generate the revenue in Project Currency and how to set up the same .
Thanks /Regards ,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
On the Project > Options > Currency > Billing Tab
Please Enable Multi Currency Billing, then select Revenue Transaction Currency and select according to your need.
Invoice By Billing Transaction currency :
When the Invoice by Billing Transaction Currency is enabled for the project, you can generate separate invoices for a project by each billing transaction currency, even
though one or more invoices may be funded by the same agreement. Therefore, expenditures that are billed using markups or burden schedules to derive the bill
amounts are grouped according to their expenditure transaction currencies.
Revenue Transaction Currency options for your project :
Oracle Project Billing selects the Project Functional Currency Only option for revenue transaction currency. This ensures that the Generate Draft Revenue concurrent program generates revenue in project functional currency. To enable the Generate Draft Revenue concurrent program to additionally derive revenue in invoice transaction currency.
Project Functional Currency and Invoice Transaction Currency option :
When you select Project Functional Currency and Invoice Transaction Currency as your revenue transaction currency, the Generate Revenue Accounting Events process calculates Unbilled receivables and Unearned revenue amounts in invoice transaction currency.

How do I generate a Word document and a PDF from Help files?

Hi,
I am new to RoboHelp HTML, and am using version 8. I updated some Help files, and now I want to generate output. Here are my questions/ or the process I used:
To compile the help, I clicked Generate Primary Layout. Is this correct? I noticed that the date stamp on the xpj file has not changed. The date is still from many months ago. (Why is that? Should it show a recent update date?) However, the files that I updated do reflect the dates when I made the updates. These include art files, an hhp, and htm, js, ldb, pss, cpd files.
To generate a pdf, I clicked Generate PDF. I was not able to generate the PDF at first, but then, I enabled macros in Word 2007 (Trust Center Settings > Enable all macros...and clicked the checkbox, Trust access to the VBA project object model), and clicked Generate PDF. At the end of the generation, I got this error in Word: Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. The info you were working on might be lost. Word can try to recover it for you. I closed the dialog and Word generated several blank documents. Microsoft Office Diagnostics was run and found one problem and corrected it. Despite the error message, a pdf was generated. (If you could give me any insight on why I got the error messages, that could be helpful to know).
How do I generate a Word document?
Thank you!
Erin

Welcome to our community
Note that RoboHelp is capable of creating a variety of layouts. WebHelp, FlashHelp, AIR Help, Microsoft HTML Help, JavaHelp, Oracle Help, ePub and more.
Any of these layouts may be nominated as the Primary layout. So when you generate the Primary layout, you get whatever has been configured as the Primary layout.
Only certain actions will result in a change to the .XPJ file. The actions are indicative of major changes to the project. So I wouldn't fret the fact that the date time stamp wasn't updated.
Indeed the Printed Documentation Single Source Layout recipe is what you use to create PDF. Generally what happens is that RoboHelp creates a Microsoft Word document as an intermediate file type, then creates the PDF from that. As you might imagine, there are a host of things that can go wrong during the process. I might suggest that you first get a Word document to generate cleanly. Then once you do that, focus on PDF. I know that I typically gen a Word document and stop there. I just open Word and use Word to create the PDF.
If you look at the properties for the Printed Documentation Single Source Layout recipe (View > Pods > Single Source Layouts then right-click the Printed Documentation layout and choose Properties) you will see that PDF, Word or both are options at the top of the dialog.
Hopefully that gives you a nudge in the right direction.

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.

Migration of costs & revenues of open projects

Dear All,
I am new to CO & migrating the costs & revenues of open projects from old SAP system to new SAP system.
For costs & revenues of open WBSs/Network activities, we have three programs:
1. primary costs extraction & upload
2. secondary costs extraction & upload
3. revenue data extraction & upload
For primary costs, i am referring to table COSP and secondary costs COSS.
Incase of secondary costs, i am not sure what all the values i should consider
In COSS - i have cost center allocations - which need to be migrated through KB21N, with total qty & UOM
and also i have network activities settlements...do i need to consider this as well to get the value matching with WBS value in CJI3.
If yes, how do i migrate the network settlements? definetly not through KB21N.
Kindly clarify as i am not able proceed further on this.
Thanks in advance
Gangadhar

When you say migrating from old SAP system to new SAP system, do you mean, you are in a upgrade project? If it is an upgrade project, you need worry to transfer data. The technical upgrade would address the need of data migration.
If it is entirely a new different system and you are planning total re-engineering, you may only want to post primary costs and redo the allocations and settlments.

Revenue Recognition in Project System

Hello All,
At my current client, they are using the Project System (i.e. WBS) only for Cost and Revenue collection. POC,RA,Milestone billing,Network, Activities are out of scope. Keeping the above thing in mind, I need to know how I do the Revenue recognition thru WBS.
Mu understanding is that If I assign a WBS element on a Sales Order line item, as an account assignment it should collect the Revenue. The only requiremnt should be that WBS should be a billing element and Cost/Revenue profile should carry SD relevant settings. Once the billing is done and invoicing is done, the Revenue should appear against the WBS on running the report S_ALR_87013563/64/65/66.
Please let me know if this will work or do I need to do some more configuration from PS perspective.
Thanks
Sarang

Hi Sarang,
1. Mark WBS as billing element.
2. Assign the sales order line item to the WBS in point 1 or any WBS below that in the hierarchy.
3. Create a billing plan for the sales order line item.
4. The billing plan amount would appear as planned revenue against the WBS element (provided no credit hold useVKM3 to release).
5. Once the line item has been billed ie. Billing document has been created using VF01 or VF04, the Actual revenue would appear against the WBS element.
In terms of Config:
Creat a planning profile that allows Automatic Revenue planning form Sales Order (tcode: OPSB)
Ensure that the planning profile is attached to your project profile (Controlling tab) (tcode:OPSA).
Please let me know if this helps.
