Attribute Functions in Oracle Project Management Setup

I have been trying to find the functionality and applicability of the menu option " Attribute Functions" that is available in Oracle Project Management Setup.
I have used attribute groups and context to create view / placeholders to capture additional information related to the project, but have not been able to figure out the applicability of Attribute Functions.
Please help me if anyone has used it or know how to use it.

Hi,
Refer Oracle Project Management User Guide. (Section 2: Workplan and Progress Management)
Oracle Projects archives all submitted task and workplan progress. You can correct
submitted progress records and create backdated progress records.
Backdating Progress
============
You can create backdated progress records to fill gaps in the progress history of a task
or project. You can select any non-cycle progress date prior to the system date and enter
progress for this past date.
For example, you can enter backdated progress for a Friday in the past even if a project
has a progress cycle with Monday as the reporting day.
You enter an As of Date, progress status, a brief overview, comments, and physical
percent complete when you enter backdated progress.
Backdated progress transactions are for informational purposes

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

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.

Oracle Project Management and Oracle HCM integration????

Is there any benefits of Oracle Project Management for users of Oracle HCM?? Can they be integrated and how?

ERP systems were built because you could use various products like Fin, HCM, CRM, Project accounting etc seamlessly as all are built by the same provider and you will have less interface headache.
So, based on what your company's requirements, you can choose to implement one or more of the products.

Oracle Project Analytics - Project Manager Security Implementation

Has anyone implemented a security scenario for Project Managers, such that they can only see the information associated to their projects when using EBS as the source? If so,
- How did you identify the relationship between project managers and their projects? Did you use an initialization block and pull this information in from EBS?
- Where did you define the security/filtering configuration so that they were limited on what they could see?
- Did you create a custom responsibility for 'Project Managers' and have them access a set of Project Manager dashboard/reports that followed the Project Manager security model?
Thanks in advance.

Please note that I have posted this same question/thread in the BI Apps forum. I didn't want to duplicate effort, but I know different users may only come to this forum. The link to the original thread is below:
BI Apps Forum Thread
Oracle Project Analytics - Project Manager Security Implementation

Coolmesh84,
Thanks for the great info and reply. This makes complete sense to me, but I just want to make sure I am clear on a couple points:
+1. Use an initialization box to filter the user's emp id+
You mean use an init block to pull the users employee id and store it in a session variable correct? The session variable will then be used later as part of the filter criteria.
*2. and add a filter to the required dimension table in business layer to filter based on the project_manager_id column for the project manager group.+*
To implement the step above, would you follow theses steps:
1. Go to Manage->Security
2. Under Groups, select the group planned to be utilized for this filter (in this case I double clicked the Project Manager group).
3. I then Click permissions button for this group
4. Go to the Filters tab of the window that pops up
5. Add a filter, go to BMM tab and select the Project dimension and then define a filter for Proj Mgr Id = nqsession.employeeid
+3. Ideally you should be able to use the OOTB project manager group for this security.+
This is a good point, but a few more questions here - There are a number of Project related groups (see below) in the out of box Oracle BI Apps RPD and all of them essentially roll up to the super group 'Operating Unit Org-based Security'. Is there a best practice or preferred approach for utilizing these groups as they related to Oracle EBS v12? Is there any good documentation out there to see what the intended use and setup is for these groups? Do all of these groups relate back to an EBS Responsibility? I have read through the OBIA Security Configuration document and basically all it says is to enable the operating unit org initilization block and thats all .. not really all that helpful.
Thanks again - k

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.

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
