Is it Possible to have multiple customer on the projects with 100% contr

Question

Hi Dina,
Can you please help me out in understanding the scenario where you have more than 1 customer with 100% contribution so that you can invoiced them individually with respect to their agreement?
I also wanted to know the significance of check box - Customer At Top Task and -Invoice Method At Top Task on Revenue and Billing Inforamtion Screen.
Thanks

Hi
Invoice Method governs the billing method, the way you generate invoice to the customer.
Oracle's Projects Billing support the following methods -
WORK - the system calculate the bill amount of each expenditure item based on bill rates or burden. The billing amount is saved on RDL(Revenue Distribution Lines) of the expenditure item . The invoice includes summary of the RDL's.
EVENT - The invoice includes multiple lines, a line per each billing event. Events are fix amount records. An event can be entered manually through the form, interfaced from external system or generated automatically based on customizable billing extensions.
COST - It is a particular case of EVENT, where Oracle redelivered a billing extension that calculates invoice amount based on the percentage of actual costs from total approved cost budget.
Usually, the invoice method is selected on project level, on the same place you set up the project revenue method.
For billing, you have the option to set up the invoice method separately at top task level. This feature allows you to generate a T&M invoice (WORK) from expenditures rolled up to one top task, while billing a separate invoice by fix price events entered on other top task.
