Inter-project Liability Posting

Hi,
I need some advice here in project system.
My company is planning to use project system to manage the project related activity, revenue and spending.
One of the common business scenario that happen is the sharing of resource between projects.
In this case, we would like to see whether we can recording this transaction as a liability from one project to the other project.
Meaning, we will have internal accounts payables and internal accounts receivable which representing the respective project in the system.
What do you think I can do in the system to achieve this?
I was thinking about using special AR/AP account group to handle this situation.
Please advice.
Regards,
Cheah

Resources will be available at a specific work center. You will assign resources from work center to different projects, Now i dont understand how a project will be liable to another 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,

Inter Project Billing - Questions

Hi,
We have setup Inter Project billing and the process works as expected.
But we still have questions about the Accounting Process - do the ap invoice and the ar invoice hit the same account? and how do we clear the Open Invoices on both AP and AR?
Please Help!!!!
Thanks,
Akshaj

Hi Dina,
A couple more questions.
Following is a table with example transactions below:
GL     Cust. Proj     Internal Proj.     Consolidated
Sales           400
IP-Sales               (200)     (200)
COS               200     200
IP-COS          200          200
Clearing     (200)               (200)
Net Income          200      0
1.     Should the UBR / UER be an internal UBR/UER. Would it not otherwise murky up the UBR/UER for contract projects?
2.     How do the Internal Project and the Customer Project rollup on the GL ? Do we need to have a consolidation project to net IP-Sales and IP-COS
3.     Also - how do we handle scenarios where COS in the internal project is greater than the revenue/billed amount? How does this rollup to the Customer Project?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Inter Project Dependency Reporting - Options

Hello,
A client I'm working for has requested the ability to see inter-project dependencies across a group of projects (e.g. Program or Portfolio grouping) with a critical path visible throughout, allowing the user to see where a critical path existing across multiple
projects.
Is this possible without having to 'daisy chain' projects via the Subprojects button, or via a custom SSRS report? This is key functionality and we come across this deficiency on every client engagement.
Environment: EPM 2013
Thanks in advance.
Nock

Hi Nock,
I'd suggest you to insert your sub-projects into a master project. By default, each inserted project is calculated like summary task:
Thus calculating the critical path on your master project with this option checked will give you the overall critical path.
Critical path means depedencies between tasks thus I believe you have to go through using sub-projects and links.
Hope this helps,

Need the exact difference betwn Intercompany Billing and Inter-project bill

Hi,
Can any one tell me the exact difference between the intercompany Billing and inter-project billing?
The decision to which should be used in which scenraios.
also what is the Setup Level Difference in both.
If you have any white paper / document / note in metalink also on this topic then I will be very happy to have that.
Thanks very much in advance.
Regards

Hi
Inter project billing may be used within the same operating unit.
Intercompany billing may be used only accross operating units.
Inter project billing means the provider organization is charging a separate provider project.
With intercompany billing provider organization is charging the same project as of the receiver organization.
With inter project billing the provider project may bill the receiver in any billing method as any contract project. With intercompany billing the billing is based on transfer price rules which may be only applied to actual expenditures of the provider organization.
There is full list of all setup steps in Oracle Projects Implementation user guide.

Inter company GL posting with two diff company code currencys

Hi
For the Inter-company G/L Account posting (Company codes 1000 has EUR currency key & 2000 has GBP currency key), I am using the BAPI FM BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST & BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
For this, I am giving the 'DocumentHeader' structure with Company code 1000. 'Accountapayable' structure as Lineitem -0000000001 and credit Account No. & 'AccountGL' structure as Lineitem -0000000002 and Debit Account No. And in 'CurrencyAmount' strcure as with LineItem - 1, Currency - EUR, AMT-BASE as 100- & Lineitem - 2 as with Currenct key - GBP, Exchange rate as 68.36, AMT-BASE as 1.00. (Because as pee my understanding 100EUR = 68.36GBP).
Using the above test data, i am getting the output parameters result as with message as 'Document posted successfully: BKPFF 010000061210002009 T90CLNT090'.
After the call of BAPI FM even when i added 'commit work' also Accounting document number is not updating in the database.
But when I go to BKPF table or FB03 transaction I am not able to see this document.
Regards,
Basani

I have found it out myself. You can give the company code at item level and though the document number it gives back is the document for the header level code, where as this document contains the cross company code document inside it.

ANN: Eclipse EJB 3.0 Object-Relational Mapping Project Requirements posted

A document that presents an intitial feature and use case list for the early milestones of the Eclipse EJB 3.0 Object/Relational Mapping project has been posted to the project newsgroup (news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.technology.ejb-orm). It also demonstrates a set of user interface components for editing EJB 3.0 Entities. The document covers the basics and is designed to illustrate the concept. It is in no way comprehensive. For example, it doesn't thoroughly cover the editing of ORM xml descriptors although this is an important requirement for the project. ORM xml support will be detailed in coming revisions, and slated for future milestones.
The purpose of this document is to invite comment on the approach. If you are interested in EJB 3.0 Entity support in Eclipse please give the doc a look over and post your feedback to the EJB 3.0 Object-Relational Mapping Project newsgroup.

Project Overview:
The goal of this project is to add comprehensive support to the Eclipse Project for the definition and editing of Object-Relational (O/R) mappings for EJB 3.0 Entity Beans. EJB 3.0 O/R mapping support will focus on minimizing the complexity of mapping by providing creation and automated initial mapping wizards, and programming assistance such as dynamic problem identification. The implementation will be extensible so third party vendors can add to its functionality.

Videos don't play when Captivate 6 project is posted to Web

Hi all,
I've read a lot of discussion of this problem but so far, not a solution.
I'm working in Captivate 6.0.2.325 on Mac OS 10.6.8, and it's a .cptx file. It runs beautifully from my desktop, but when I post it to my website, it won't run the video segments. I receive the message "Connection Error."
I changed the preferences as per Himanshu's suggestion of Oct. 14 and republished, but there was no improvement. Re his/her comment that I need to launch via the .htm file, not the .swf: I do launch from the .htm file from the desktop, but from the website I must link to the .swf. Linking to the .htm file does not work at all, the file does not open in the browser.
Rod Ward made a comment, also on Oct. 14, to check with the system administrator about allowed MIME types. Unfortunately, I am the system administrator, and I don't know what a MIME type is. I would need more information to pursue that avenue, but not from the fire hose that opens by searching on "MIME type."
In case it might be helpful, this is what the file contents look like in my file manager (Homestead SiteBuilder):
Thank you for any suggestions! I'm really hoping to get this problem resolved by Wednesday PM, because when I present to the client it will have much more impact if they can open it on their own laptops.

Hello Rakshi,
It depends on the type of web-server you are using ,If your website depends on IIS server the you can add MIME type using the link below.
http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/staticcontent/mimemap
You can also test by uploading on SCORM Cloud If it is an issue with Adobe Captivate output or it is related to some settings on your website.

Inter project communication strategy

I have two LV projects in which I have developed tools to control two different types of instruments (A and B).
I now need to use both instruments to achieve a specific goal (optimize A for B). Specifically, I need to collect data in B, design an algorithm that sends instructions to A, collect data in B and sends back instructions to A, etc, until an optimum is obtained.
I can think of at least one way to do that:
modify project B to send instructions to a LV global/communication VI/queue/notifier which will be shared by the two projects.
The problem is, I have nver done that so I am not sure what the scope of, say a notifier is. If I create a notifier in a VI belonging to project B, can I refer to it by the same name in project A?
Thanks for your comments.

Well, since I am temporarily stuck with LV 2009 due to some FPGA support issue I have in LV 2010, I think I will use Datasockets.
I have played around with it a bit and here is what I am planning to do (attached):
- one project (untitled project 1) contains my DAQ GUI which needs to control the other instrument: in the example, it sends a "numeric" via a DS write. However, for my algorithm to be foolproof, I need to make sure that the other instrument has updated its status before I collect data. Therefore, after a write, I wait for the other guy to send an acknowledgment (using a read to another DS). When this is confirmed, I proceed.
- the other project (untitled project 2) is a simple GUI for the other instrument, which the user can control via a FP numeric. When it is "remotely" controlled by the previous one (that is when, timing out, it gets a new numeric from the DS used by the other GUI to send its instruction), it updates this control (it overrides any user action) and writes this value into the other DS to tell the remote controller that it has updated its status.
Do you see any flow in this logic? At least, it seems to work. Bear with me, this is a barebone architecture.

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.
