  • 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
    Please mark if useful / answered. Project (EU) Ltd has a wealth of experience implementing Grants and Projects; we are the first partner globally to have been recognised by Oracle as specialist Oracle Projects implementation experts. Please see our blog for more information or get in touch if you need any further assistance.

  • Oracle Projects VS Primavera

    Hi All,
    Can any please let me know Benfits, Features between Oracle Projects VS Primavera?
    Appreciate immediate responses
    Regards
    Raghavender K

    Hi
    Primavera is a scheduling tool, where you plan the project activities, assign resources, may track resources load and update planning.
    Oracle Projects is basically an accounting system for costing and billing, which Primavera cannot do. It is integrated with other ERP modules.
    Oracle Project Management has many similarities with Primavera, but is lacking the scheduling engine.

  • Deleting segment rule pairings of Auto accounting in Oracle Projects.

    Hi,

    Thanks,
    Roshan.

    Hi Roshan,
    You should remove the Rule assignment from Segment rule pairing which you want to delete from all the functions before deleting the same.

  • What is the difference between Projects Auto-Accounting and Receivables Aut

    Hi Experts,
    Can somebody explain me the difference between Auto-Accounting in Oracle Projects and Auto-Accounting in Oracle Receivables?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Those are two separate accounting engines, one for Projects accounting transactions and the second for AR accounting entries. They share ONLY the term - Auto Accounting.
    Projects AA has a very rich functionality and flexibility. AR AA is comparably more rigid.
    The AA in Projects allow you to distribute costs, revenue and invoices. Project draft invoices are interfaced to AR with the accounting determined by Projects AA.
    AA in AR generates the accounting for invoices generated in receivables, and for other entities like receipts and adjustments.

  • Is Oracle Project Management has all features which Microsoft Project Plan?

    Hello Experts,
    Customer wanted to start using Oracle Project Management suit completly along with little Microsoft project plan. as of now most of the projects are using microsoft project plan for project management and Oracle Project suit is for Costing and Billing.
    But in order to start this initiative, we need to explain the difference which Oracle Project Management can not able to do but Microsoft project plan can. Based on this management will take the decesion.
    As per my understanding, Orace Project Management can perform all the tasks except scheduling. As it supports scheduling from third party software like Microsoft project plan / primavera etc.
    Rest I think Oracle Project management suit is equally matured to perform all the project management task which Mircosoft project management can perform.
    So experts , can you please confirm my understanding and provide me some light on this topic.
    Thanks :-)

    Hi,
    First of all, I would like to know what are the various things you are performing with a Microsoft project plan apart from scheduling the resources to a specific project .
    Through Oracle Project Management, you can control the visibility of a resource,assign it to a particular project and control the tracking of the time in various assignments.If that is what you are trying to achieve through Oracle Project Management icnluding the other features it has, you can surely go for it.
    Let me know if you have any doubts on it.
    Regards,

  • Auto accounting generation while creating a iexpense report  with project

    Hi all,
    i have a auto account generator setup for a particular employeee... when i change the segment value in auto accounting generator it is not refelcted while creating a iexpense report.
    please help me.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    1. You need to make sure you are entering the 'Project/Task/Expenditure type' information in the Expense Report Line level.
    2. If you need to customize the account generator, then you need to change the process 'Default Account Generator for Web Employees' in the workflow 'PAAPWEBX' in the workflow builder.
    The project account generator you are modifying is the auto accounting setup which will be used during the cost distribution process to generate an account for the 'Expense Reports' created in Projects.
    If you want to customize the account generation for a project related expense report in iexpense then you need to customize the 'Project Expense Report Account Generator (PAAPWEBX)' workflow.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks,

  • Unable to do adjustments for PO Receipt Accrual in Oracle Projects

    We are working on Release 11.5.10.
    The Allow Adjustments flag for the transaction sources in Projects for receipt accruals (Oracle Purchasing Receipt Accruals) and For Supplier Invoices (Oracle Payables Invoice Variance) are not updatable. Since we are using the Accrue on Receipt option, so only the Invoice variance amount is tranferred to Oracle Projects from Accounts payables. There are situations when the cost gets booked to a wrong task or wrong Project. In such case the adjustments to receipt accruals and Invoice Variance needs to be done. But the same cannot happen in Oracle projects without enabling the Allow Adjustments flag, which is not updatable in Release 11i. How can we make any adjustments to receipt accruals and Supplier Invoices matched with the PO Receipts in Release 11i?
    Appreciate any Pointers on this.

    Hi
    In PO receiving form, enter a transaction of type Correction or Return to Receiving, with minus the quantity you want to adjust. This will be a negative transaction to the original project and task.
    Then update the PO line distribution to the new project and task. Finally enter another receipt / deliver transaction to the new project and task.
    Run the PRC: Interface Supplier Cost. This process will create new transactions in the old and new projects. The new transactions are linked to the same PO, same line number as the original PO Accrual transaction.
    If the supplier invoice have not yet entered in AP, then entering a supplier invoice, matching to the PO will get the variances charge to the new project.
    Other wise, you might want to reverse the matching, and reenter the match to the new distribution.
    You could also enter a MIX supplier invoice which has the amount as zero. In such invoice enter a negative distribution line to the old project, and a positive distribution line to the new project.
