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.

Supplier Cost DashboardSubcontractor Payment ControlsSupport for Pay when Paid Scenarios
A new “Pay when Paid” payment term for subcontracts automatically places holds on all subcontractor invoices under that subcontract until the corresponding customer payment is received.
Subcontract Payment Controls workbench allows project manager to manage the holds, with visibility into both the customer invoices and the related subcontractor invoices.
Workflow notifications about the receipt of the customer payment allow the project manager to automatically or manually release the subcontract invoice.
Associations between the customer invoices and the subcontractor invoices may be automatically maintained based on the billing of project expenditures for cost-plus contracts, or may be manually maintained for fixed price contracts.
Payment Controls for Subcontract Deliverables
Support for the tracking and monitoring of subcontract deliverables that place automatic holds on subcontractor invoices in the case of noncompliance.
Oracle Procurement Contracts allow a subcontract administrator to specify payment impact controls that will take effect when a subcontract deliverable is not met.

Integration of PO with Project Accounting

Hi ,
we have a requirement of linking project number with existing open Purchase Order,
Requisition from Purchasing.
Recently our client implemented Oracle project costing.
my question is
1. How project number enabled/display during creation of purchase order (any profile option
we need to enabled)
2. How cost coming from PO to PA (if any request to run)
(Any direct interfacing between PA and PO)
3. want to understanding the PA-PO relationships as per expenditure is concern
Any reply is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
On the Purchasing system setup you should define the accounting rule - to accrue on receipt or accrual at period end. If you accrue on period end the receiving transactions are not charging the expense account nor interface to Projects. Only when supplier invoice is matched to the PO and validated, you could Interface the invoice to Projects. However, if you enable the Accrue on receipt, then system generate accounting to expense account on the receipt transaction, and the PO receipt can be interfaced also to Projects. In that case the supplier invoice matched to the PO will not be interfaced to Projects, unless there are variances between the receipts amounts and the invoice value.
In both cases, you need to run the same process - PRC: Interface Supplier Costs to Projects.
Note the parameters - If you enabled Accrue on receipt run that process always with the parameter PO Receipts as YES.

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.

Accruals interfaced from Oracle Purchasing to Oracle Projects

Hi
Accrue Expense Items in Purchasing Options is set to Period End. If a purchase order which is project related is receipted, will an accrual be interfaced to Oracle Projects?
Thanks for any help
Regards
Sean

Hi Experts,
We are using Period end accrual,
After we submit Receipt accrual- period end program and submit Create accounting-receiving system creates actuals in GL these are Receiving journals in GL, I need to know after this if we submit PRC: Interface Supplier Costs with parameter Yes for interfacing receipt accruals system is not transferring these accrual actuals in Projects module. Is this correct?
PLease suggest which Purchasing setup for receipt accruals will transfer receipt accrual actuals to Projects module this is very urgent.
Thanks,

SAP or Oracle Projects or Niku???

SAP has this industry applications for a Homebuilder. I am a consultant for a big low income housing outfit and we want to integrate everything.
Niku has a good ASP model for projects.
What would be the advantages of Oracle..
Anyone?
Thanks!!!

Oracle Projects is fully integrated e-business solution and in R11i has improved quite considerably. Many project driven clients often struggle to accurately measure project performance because they use lots of spreadsheets and guesswork to collate all project related data. Oracle projects integrates with all core financials products and therefore you will capture all costs and be able to drive billing. The module is very flexible. There have been more additions to the module which makes it more complete. However it really depends on the size of the operation that you are implementing. I've not seen the SAP model and the number of clients that have Oracle projects are extremely happy. Its quite a new concept eventhough they would perform project accounting activities in finance. There is ownership responsibility on the project manager. Projects becomes the hub of the business.If there is anything specific you want to know then please feel free to contact me and I will try to get back to you.

Project Accounting Funtional Certification

Hi
Need help on Project Accounting Funtional certificaiton. Am entered in this module just 4 month. Planned to do some certification on this module.
But I dnt know exact things abt this. Kindly provide the details on this.
Thanks in Advance
Senthur

I deal much more in the server & development certifications. The Oracle Applications side is a big grey blur to me. That said, I don't see any that are specific to Project Accounting and Costing. I would guess one of the 'Fusion Financials' certifications would best fit your needs. You would have to make the decidion on which one -- I can't do that for you.
The following page lists all of the certifications Oracle offers. From the links on this page, you can access details pages with more data, including the cost and topic covered.
