Interest AP invoice - populate the Project Task

If you are calculating interest on- late invoices in 11.5.10. Is it possible to have AP populate Project and Task on an interest interest invoice using information from the overdue invoice?
Does this change in R12?
Thank you

Hi
There is no way to fund the lowest tasks.
You cannot generate invoice with invoice lines per lowest level tasks, using standard functionality.
Assuming your billing is based on WORK, you could customize the Invoice Format to summarize RDL's by lowest task level.
However, if you need hard limit control by lowest task level you will need to capture the allocation of fund to tasks. That could be done on a revenue budget you maintain by lowest level tasks. In addition, develop billing extension called during GDI that will perform the fund check for each task.

Oracle Projects 11.5.10.2 : Generate Invoice at the lowest task level...

Oracle Projects: 11.5.10.2.
We are trying to figure out if we can generate an Invoice at the lowest task level. When I looked at the invoice format there was no option to group by at lowest Invoice level However I looked at one of the documents of project partners vendor and created an Invoice format option of lowest task. However I can not fund the project at lowest taks. When I go to the agreement I only see top tasks in the list of values?
Does any one know how to achieve /generate billing at lowest task level?
When I looked at the project type setup there is a billing option called funding level: This only gives two options top task and project level or both but not at lowest task.
any clue/help would be greatly appreciated.
The reason we are trying to do this is we want to pass a tax code at the lowest task level.

Maybe someone know why it don't works?

Anyone can reproduce this steps on Project Server 2013:
* Upload document to project site document library
* Open project plan for editing in pwa, add to any task related item – uploaded in previous step document
* Save and publish project
Than check in project schedule and project center – icon associated document to task and project.

How to extend Project Task in the Purchase Order header?

Hi everybody,
I am facing a problem I am sure is not so hard, but I cannot find my way through it.
So, my objective is to extend the Purchase Order Header with the Project Task ID.
I created the extension field first, as below:
But I just cannot find how to populate it automatically from the data in the Project Task field.
I tried a Relation in a BO extension going through the AccountingBlockAssignement, but it seems to not be functional.
I also tried to make a Reference to the extension field and created an Event After Modify like:
this.projecttaskpo = this.ExtensionForPO.content
The Project Task PO is my reference to the extension field created in the Cloud Solution.
And the ExtensionForPO is my relation to the TaskID:
import AP.Common.GDT;
import AP.Purchasing.Global as Purchasing;
import AP.ProjectManagement.Global as ProjectManagement;
import AP.IS.CodingBlock.Global as Coding;
[Extension] businessobject AP.Purchasing.Global:PurchaseOrder {
[Relation(Coding:AccountingCodingBlockDistribution.AccountingCodingBlockAssignment.ProjectTaskKey.TaskID)]
[Label("Project ID")] element ExtensionForPO : TaskID;
node Item {
I am pretty sure this is not so hard, but I can't figure how to do it.
The Task ID is in the Line Item so I do not understand why it could be so hard to add it in the Purchase Order Header.
Moreover, when I try to make the path directly from the PurchaseOrder, like:
PurchaseOrder.Item.ItemAccountingCodingBlockDistribution.AccountingCodingBlockAssignment.ProjectTaskKey.TaskID
It returns to me that the association between Item and ItemAccountingCodingBlockDistribution is not a node. I know that, but it would be perfect if I could directly go from the Purchase Order BO to the Project Reference and the Project Tasks. But I cannot do that.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it is quite a recurring request from customers.
I could have a misunderstanding in the process of doing it, or even in the code as I am a pure development newbie, so I m open to all propositions.
Thank you all.
Have a nice day.
Jacques-Antoine

Jacques-Antoine,
You can't directly translate a repeating node or element (such as an Item or a Project Task from the Accounting Coding Block of an Item) to a singular node or element.
The reason is that, though your use case may have the elements assumed to be the same for all items, this isn't necessarily the case, so ByDesign won't assume that you can use that kind of logic.
The simplest approach would be to do an On-Save at the Root node of the Purchase Order along the following lines:
this.projecttaskpo = this.Item.GetLast().ItemAccountingCodingBlockDistribution.AccountingCodingBlockAssignment.ProjectTaskKey.TaskID;
i wouldn't actually recommend this code.
You'd need validations for IsInitial, IsSet, and those kinds of functions.
i'd at least use some foreach loop to check that all the accounting coding blocks were for the same task, raise warnings if they weren't, etc.

Does the "The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User" dynamic category rule include Status Managers?

I tested the following scenario in Project Server 2010 and 2013:
Assume you have three users: User1, User2, and User3.
User1 has RBS value Org.UnitA
User2 and User3 both have RBS value Org.UnitB
User3 belongs to a group that gets permissions to view projects from a category with "The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User" setting enabled.
User2 creates ProjectABC and by default becomes the project Owner. User2 creates a task in the project, and by default becomes the Status Manager of the task.
User2 then changes the project owner to User1 and republishes the project. User2 remains the Status Manager in the project task.
User3 can still see ProjectABC. Apparently this is because User2, who has the same RBS value as User3, is still a Status Manager of project tasks.
If I change User2 RBS value to Org.UnitA, then User3 can no longer see ProjectABC. Note that User2 is not the project Owner at this stage, but the change in User2's RBS still affects the visibility of the project.
It seems to me that in "The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User" dynamic category rule, the "Owner" should be "Owner or Status Manager".
Is this a bug or by design?

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for going through the trouble of reproducing the behaviour. It's interesting to know that Effective Rights in Project Online displays different results.
The system in which I tested this scenario is updated with the December CU, so I'm guessing you'll still get the same result after updating your environment.
In my usage scenario, a user needs to create projects on behalf of other users, and then change the Owner. Unfortunately this doesn't change the Status Manager of tasks, and consequently the visibility of the project is not what was expected.
The user who creates the project can change the Owner, but can't change the Status Manager. The new owner would have to open the project for editing in Project Pro, change the Status Manager value of every task, and republish. Precisely the sort of extra
work that the users want to avoid.
Using delegation might be a workaround, but opens up a whole new can of worms in terms of information security. It's unfortunate that the "The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User" setting doesn't do what it says, but potentially
opens up visibility of projects to a wider audience than intended.

How to default distribution account through purchase requisition, selecting the project expenditure type

Dear All,
How to default distribution account through purchase requisition, selecting the project expenditure type
Thanks
Abdul.

Hi Abdul,
If you meant defaulting Purchase Order distribution accounts from the (backing) requisition, then the accounts from requisitions will default into the autocreated PO.
If you seek to default distribution accounts for Purchase Requisition using Projects, then the account generator need to have customized rules defined to default account for project enabled distributions based on the Project/Task/Organization/Expenditure Type/Date combination entered.
This note is an extract from the user's guide, and has good detail on defaulting rules of accounts for Purchase Documents:
How Does The Account Generator Default The Accounts In Oracle Purchasing? (Doc ID 1067139.1)
Hope this helps.

Hi there
I have a situation with Element Entries Costing.
Client wants to update the Project and Task at Element Entries level.
This a Benefit Deduction Element, which is update through the Custom Interface and update in Element Entries and used in Oracle Payroll.
Client wants to update the Project and Task in Costing.
I am looking for a Solution, let say I have a Project and Task setup at Costing , Do I have to write a code to update Project and Task manually through my interface.
I am using BEE to create batch lines and update in Element Entries.
How Can I achive the Costing update at Element Entry?*

They should be using the Payroll register output for detailed specifics on individuals. When you post that type of information in Projects you are making public information that is normally kept very confidential and could be against normal HR policy and a violation of the workers right to privacy.
Has this been reviewed by the Payroll and Legal departments? Would suggest you make sure executives of each area mentioned are on board before doing this. Projects is not the place to be posting specifics of confidential Payroll information. Would suggest you get some help from your project manager to properly get approval to do this.
Good luck

Could you please explain in more details about the impact of the project, task and expenditure type at Element Link, I really didn’t get it.
How will it impact in Oracle Projects / Payroll when we have those segments in Element Link?

Include interest credit memo in the credit memo for principal invoice

Hi,
Standard SAP computes interest at month end from the FI module. In our project we are required to generate Invoices (Bills) for interest and we decided to use the standard SAP calculation function and then generate an Invoice for interest billing from the SD module - based on this calculation.
Further in this business process, we are encountering two main issues:
1) In the case when a credit note is issued to the customer (in SD), the requirement is that the system back tracks all the associated invoice and invoices on the interest charged and include this in the credit note (interest reversal needs to be included in the same credit note).The customer needs a clear traceability linking the invoices and related credit notes in this process.
This is not supported in standard SAP since the reversal of interest calculation is done in a separate credit note (and usually as part of month end processing!).
2) If we somehow manage to club the interest reversal into a single credit note along with the reversal of principal invoice amount (potentially through a user exit!), then in the subsequent interest calculation run, the amout pertaining to the reversal of interest amount is also taking into conideration for the calculation of interest. As per customer requirement, the reversal of the interest amount should be excluded from this calculation.
If you have encountered similar solution elsewhere in other projects, please let me know how this can be done.
Thanks very much in advance!
John

Hi Nagarajan,
Thanks a lot for your answer! Yes, you are absolutely right, the variable number for this field was #100.
Unfortunately, this solution worked partially for us. In our case, we also needed to specify a "Document Date" (Tax Date) for the ref. document and there was a problem, because we could not find SAP variable number for this (I don't know if this exists?)
In the final, I just related "OJDT" to "VPM2" table and after that I have got my "TaxDate" field.
So we are good now.
In addition, maybe you know where can I get a variable numbers catalogue or something like that?
Thanks,
Sergey

Task level data at the Project level?

Hi all,
I have a custom date field in Project 2010 that if certain text is displayed in the task name, this field is populated by the task finish date.
Essentially this task is connected within Project Server to an external 'deliverable'.
I need to grab this date and have it at the Project Information level - is this possible?
Even using Enterprise flags, I still could not obtain the task date at a Project level.
Any thoughts much appreciated.

If I understand you correctly:
A) check you are using the correct aspect ratio for your project
B) check that you have not selected crop options using the crop tool

I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar. When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year. The photo calendar is almost complete. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.

Project professional 2010: Physical % Complete field does not roll-up to the summary tasks

Hi,
I have a project plan which I need to set the physical % complete fields of it in order to use it for earned value over time report. I have assigned costed resources to come of the tasks, set all project task's earned value method to physical % complete,
and finally set a baseline. However, the physical % complete still does not get calculated for the summary tasks! It is always zero!
I have created another project with only 3 tasks and 3 resources, did the same as above, and was able to get calculated values for the physical % complete.
I followed the same procedure in both projects. In one I was able to get the physical % complete value of the summary tasks while it was always zero in the other! What may be the problem?
Regards,
George

Hi Julie,
This is what I am seeing as necessary to make Physical % complete roll up to the summary level task.
BEFORE tasks are entered, set the "Default Task Earned Value method" to Physical % complete. File > Options, Advanced. This will set both the summary and detail tasks to that method.
Add tasks
Add resources with costs.
Assign resources to tasks.
Baseline the file
Take a look at the Tracking table and enter progress in the Physical % complete field for subtasks. The value should roll up.
Sadly I don't know of anyway to force the change after the tasks have been added. You can certainly add the Earned Value Method field to a task view to confirm all is set - but I have never been able to switch mid-flight and get it to work correctly.
I did, however, just try an experiment. I created a file that did not work correctly - Physical % complete was not rolling up. I inserted it into a blank project that had the option set correctly without linking. After a bit of tweaking
(outdenting all tasks to be able to delete the "extra summary task", saving a baseline), it now appears to be working correctly.
I hope this helps.

All project tasks appear when I view a schedule in PWA but the schedule is blank in MS Project Professional

We have a project in our Project Server 2010 environment and it was being managed for a period of time without any issues. Recently, a user has gone into PWA and edited the schedule in PWA by deleting all the tasks and re-creating a new set of tasks.
He has saved and published the project from within PWA.
However, although the schedule can be viewed and edited from within PWA, if we try to open it in MS Project, the schedule is blank. ie. there are no tasks displayed. It is the correct project as the project name appears at the top of the MS Project
window.
I have tried saving and publishing the schedule via PWA but I still get a blank scehdule when I open it in MS Project Professional.
I have also cleared the cache in case there was something happening there but no change.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve it?
PS. I am not technical so if you have a technical solution, can you please explain it in as non-technical terms as possible?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Paul
As I mentioned in my post, when I open the scheudle in MS Project, there are no tasks displayed. ie. the schedule is totally blank. So although it could be opened, I was reluctant to publish it via MS Project. I did delete the MS Project
cache as well as the IE Browser history, cookies etc but no effect.
This is now a mute point as I decided to restore an earlier version of the schedule from the backups and it now seems to have been resolved. The schedule is appearing in both PWA and MS Project and they are in synch with each other.
I have put this down to a random corruption that somehow crept into the schedule.
Thanks for your response anyway.

Thanks,
Manoj

What I suggest is go into EM and undeploy this composite and all versions. (Only if you don't want the existing ones). Then redeploy your process. This will avoid the version conflict and create a new version. 1.0. Then the next time you try and deploy you need to either specify a new version or check the box to say the version can be over written.
cheers
