How to Integrate Oracle Projects(EBS-R12) with Primavera P6

Dear All,
As i have a requirement that i need to *"Integrate Oracle Projects(EBS-R12) with Primavera P6 for Oracle Projects Accounting ( Costing & Billing ) using Application Integration Architecture(AIA-PIP)"*.
So kindly suggest me to do the same.
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestion.

Vishal, I would recommend that you post this question on the CRM On Demand Integration Development forum.

Can Oracle Project costing drive the depreciation expense amount from FA

-Does Oracle project have direct integration with Oracle FA for deriving the Depreciation amount to oracle project costing and same as sallary in oracle payroll ?
Answer:
1) No, there is no integration as such with Payroll
--- Second Q If Yes ;
If i have Machine X it depreciates 100 USD per month , so i have assigned this machine for 15 days in project 1 and the other 15 days to project 2 did the system will allocate 50 USD to project 1 and 50 USD to project 2?
Can someone answer this - my thoughts are ...
2)Yes, ideally it should allocate amount to multiple projects, not sure whether it is done automatically or we need to run any process ... is there any documentation on this as I was unable to find it.
Please if the Q1 have answer yes i need document how to do this integration , and if Q2 answer is yes also i need who to or what is the condition to reach this point?
Thanks, Ferhiz DInshaw

per our pidgin conversation:
first of all, you are right - there is no such integration with Payroll or FA. depreciation is calculated in FA only. in Projects we do not derive it or control it in any way.
all we do in PA is we collect costs as they occur, generate asset lines and advise FA that an asset is subject to depreciation
regarding multiple projects - that is not how it works right now. a project can have as many assets as needed. However these assets are bound to a single project and do not exist as organization wide transactions.
when you interface your asset lines to FA, you can merge them to existing assets. This again is standard FA functionality. If there is a requirement to have cross project assets in PA, it is an enhancement request.
hope it helps
thanks

What is impact of Complex procurment with retention on Oracle Project Cost?

Hello Experts / Dina,
Can you please explain the flow and acrrual of cost when complex purchase order has been raised with multiple retention on Oracle Project and interface the cost to Oracle Project.
Example - Complex purchase order of contract consulting is raised with amount of 1000 GBP with 4 Milstone of 250 GBP upon 25% completion of work.
I wanted to know in this scenarion how the retention payment / invoice matches to purchase order impact on cost interface to project by using PRC:Interface cost to projects.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
:-)

Hello,
As per Oracle Costing user guide on retainage.....
"Oracle Projects does not report on or interface project-related retainage distribution
lines as commitments or actual costs. Instead, Oracle Projects captures the full amount
of the expense as a commitment and, when applicable, for the funds check. Later, the
full amount of the expense is interfaced to Oracle Projects as an actual cost. Retainage is
related to the payment of the invoice and it ultimately does not have an impact on the
overall project cost."
So in relation with my previous example, if period end accounting is enable on procurment side then on raising of purchase order of 1000GBP and interfacing cost to oracle project, will be treated as commitment amount(1000GBP)? and when the invoiced raised / matched and accounted for 1st milestone let say 300 GBP then complete 1000GBP will be interface as actual cost or just 300 GBP will be as actual cost?
Really appreciate if you can me help in understand. :-)
Thanks

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.

Opening Balances for Project Costing in R12

Hi All,
What are the Open transactions should be migrated as Opening Balance in Project Costing (R12) for Projects and Tasks. Here at client place cost will come from Inv, PO, AP and OTL to Project costing (R12). Can you please explain in detail (Opening Balances & Historical Cost - How to Migrate)?
Waiting for replies...

Hi
Usually on implementation of Projects, people are migrating total historical costs per project.
Depend on your current system, you may convert the historical data summarized by project, task, expenditure organization and expenditure type. There is an option to summarize costs into the latest period, just before starting the future transactions import into Projects. Otherwise, consider summarizing cost data per period, per quarter or per year.
The summarized data may be loaded as miscellaneous expenditures into Projects.
Be aware that for converted expenditures you should setup a Transaction Source which is costed and accounted.

Compare Oracle Project Management and Primavera

Hi All,
We are using Primavera today and it is not integrated to Oracle.
We are also currently implementing Oracle Projects Management (R12.1.3) and trying to evaluate if Primavera can be replaced by Projects Management. Based upon my little experience with Primavera - I see some advantages of Primavera over Projects Management e.g.
a. Primavera is more user friendly than Oracle Projects Management.
Primavera: easy to create workplan; configurable views; generate reports with gantt charts
b. Primavera has scheduling engine to derive schedules based upon dates/duration/logic while Project Managment does not have it.
c. Gantt charts are better in Primavera than Oracle Projects Management.
Has anyone also done similar kind of analysis and evaluated the need of Primavera integration with Oracle Projects Management? I would appreciate if you can share your inputs.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi,
I have used both the product. For project management i would suggest to use primavera for the same reason u mentioned.
the only disadvanage in primavera is it is not integrated with ERP.
Now oracle provide a AIA PIP integration package to integrate Primavera with oracle Projects(Limited integration). Use primaver for Project managment and oracle for Project Costing and Billing

We have Oracle Projects - Costing, Billing & Management module .We also have Inventory and purchasing.
Our requirement is when we receive the items from supplier against purchase order, we want to receive it is our inventory. After that we want to allocate these items from Inventory to a particular project – The PO order also raised against the same project.
Is it possible?
As per our consultant, in order to do this, we need buy the 'Oracle Manufacturing' module.
Can we do this without buying the ''Oracle Manufacturing'

How to derive/generate Revenue only wth Project costing?Burdening possible?

Hello Experts / Dina,
I am doing a implementation to customer where only Project costing is in scope and customer wanted to derive / generate revenue for few of the revenue generated project using oracle project costing. Currently this customer is using legacy external application to enter manual journal for revenue.
So can you please provide me workaround to achieve only revenue generation using oracle project costing?
I have one workaround but wanted to validate from you all experts. Plz help me...
1. Enabling budening on same expenditure item I can generate revenue using burden schedule and setup total burden cost db and cost cr account in auto accounting so that burdent Cost Crd account will be a reveue account and burden Cost dbt account will be UBR a/c. and then transfer the burden cost to GL as revenue vs UBR.
This work around is thorotical and dont know what is implication of burden mulitpliers. If I used this workaorund then revenue (burden cost) amount is depend upon the expenditure orgnization multiplier and not on job based or employee based. How to solve this problem?
I think there is possibility to drive the burden multiplier based on expenditure types..if taken that approch then end up in creating lot of expenditure type for each multiplier.
So please help with workaround or someother method.
Thanks

Hi Dina,
First of all many many thanks for posting your answer on this question.
1. > I tried using total burden schedule approch to generate revenue but I think there is problem to restrict the accounting for the expenditur items which should not be burden ( need not to be generate revenue). As Total burdening approch creates burden accounting as raw cost though burden mulitplier is not specified ( system takes as value 0) :(
2.> Then I tried a approch of using create & distribute burdening method ( burdening on separate expenditure item) - This works fine and generate burden accounting ( revenue a/c -& UBR). And provides a restriction of generating revenue on selected expenditure items based on burden schedule schedule (multiplier as 0 not specified). On Expenditre Inquiry also can reports a revenue after querying on Expenditure Type Class as "Burden Transactions". You can also reverse items and reverse costing / burdening ( reveneu ) with normal standard process.
3.> If I wanted to use borrowed and Lent processing then I guess it will be easy. But only problem is I can't keep Project Org as Resource Org. Then there is pain in defining lot of resource organization and project organization ( I m not sure customer will agree :() . Also after referring the Project API guide I am still confuse about 2 diff extention doing same thing.
a.> Transfer Price Determination Extension b.> Transfer Price Override Extension . Can you please explain what is difference between both of them and wat is purpose for both of them?
Also In case i don't used the extension then I will be left only using Transfer price % ( 100% + ) to derive my revenue price? rght? Also I am not sure how can customer will have restrictions on the expenditure items which should not generate revenue? ( By defining another transfer price schedule on the selected TASKS with rule as transfer price % 0? )
and I hope by using borrowed and lent processing I can do adjustments ( like reversing of revenue ) as standard way?
Please guide.
Thanks a ton !!!
Cheers,

Retirement Cost in Project Costing

Hi,
Can anyone help me out the steps to capture the retirement costs in Project costing for Capital Projects.
Regards,
Murthy

Well, in a capital project, you collect the CIP and expense costs for each asset you are building. The same applies to retirement costs. You use a capital project to accumulate/capture costs associated with the retirement of a group asset. Oracle manuals do specifcally use the term "retirement of group assets" when capturing retirement work in process (RWIP). You would then interface the RWIP costs to Oracle Assets (the same Mass Additions process as setting up a new asset). Why they say group asset, that I do not understand? Why should it matter if it is a group asset or not, when it comes to retirement? I personally have never done this though. If we have any retirement costs, we just record directly to the general ledger - don't record any Oracle project cost. But then we don't have a lot of assets and don't retire many assets as a result. Will be interesting to see if any Oracle customer out there is actually doing this. You may have to end up going to Oracle Support to get this information. The user guide is not very information about exactly how this RWIP thing works. Make any sense?

Project Cost Rates - Standard & Actual (EXTENSION)

Hi,
Can we use both Standard and actual cost rate (via Extension) for costing purpose for a particular Operating Unit/Organization.
What we noticed is that the Actual cost rate (Extension) is overriding the standard rate schedule and also labor costing overrides.
Can you share some thoughts on the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh Menon

Hi
When you use Labor Costing Client Extension in Oracle Projects Costing, the rate resulted from the extension will override anything else.
If the extension returns null value system will use labor costing override, if applicable.
Only as last method, system will pick the cost rate from the rate schedule.
