Hi
Verify you have entered a date on the event.
Verify the Bill Through Date is on or after the event date.
Verify the customer is not on bill hold.
Verify the customer bill to address and ship to address are active.

Project billing events

Hi,
Is it possible to change work:work revenue and billing information to work:event, user has made an error when creating the project.
Thanks
Ruby

Dear Ruby,
It is not possible to change, if at all you want to then create a new project & define it as sub-project to current project & set Billing method to Work:Event & perform Roll-up transactions

Is there a way to create a recurring revenue/billing event in Projects (r12)?

Is there any way to create a revenue/billing event in Projects that can be scheduled (billed monthly until a specified end date) other than a customization?

I think there is no standard way to do it. However you can use billing extension to create automatic events. You may define the DFF fields on Project or Task level for having a recurring amount and End Date which will be picked during Generate Draft Revenue or Generate Draft Invoices. You can check in extension that if the event is already created for that month, extension should not create another event for same month for that project or Task because user may run the processes several times in a month. Please note that there will not be any history kept for DFF changes for amount and dates.
You may decide on other means to keep recurring amount and End Dates to maintain History.
Awaiting more inputs from experts.
Also consider below statement from User Guide:
Transaction Independent
Once you determine the inputs to your calculations, you can determine if your billing extension calculation is solely dependent on other transactions being processed, or if your calculation can be executed without any other transactions being processed. Transactions refer to expenditure items and events.
Transaction independent billing extensions are executed for each project with an active billing assignment, even if there are no transactions to process. This type of billing extension relies on an input other than billable transactions on a project. If this input changes, the calculated billing amount changes, which you want to record. For example, the cost-to-cost revenue accrual method, which relies on the budgeted cost and revenue amounts. If the budgeted cost or budgeted revenue changes, the revenue amount changes. You want to record this revenue amount change even if no other transactions are processed in revenue generation. This category includes the class of billing extensions that calculate revenue and invoice amounts based on values independent of the amounts included on draft revenue and invoices.
Note: If you design a billing extension to be transaction independent, it will be executed in every run of the revenue or invoice processes.

Saving all projects and events to external hard drive

I finished an iMovie project last night and published it to YouTube.
Then, in order to free up space on my Hard Drive, I moved some of the events to a USB external drive because I figured I was finished with them as far as making my movie was concerned.
My movie got "muted" by YouTube (copyright issue), so I need to go back and edit the project to remove a soundtrack, but the project has lots of yellow warning markers on various clips.
I went to Genius Bar, and he explained that all iMovie events and all iMovie projects must reside in the same place. Makes sense ..... so I bought a new Seagate 7200 rpm Firewire External Drive (which will be faster than my USB drive) and plan to move all events and projects to the Seagate hard drive.
But - if everything is on an external drive, how do I play a movie on my Mac when I want to show somebody? Do I copy the project back to iMovie? But will it play normally if all the accompanying events are stored elsewhere?
The firewire 7200 rpm drives do not come in a portable drive, so I bought a desktop size drive - not very portable ..... so I can't be schlepping that drive every time I want to show a movie! I don't want to open the package if this is not the best solution.
I'm starting to take a lot of video - so it's eating up my hard drive .....
Thanks in advance for your help .... !
T

you want to hold the command key and drag the project file to hard drive. The hard drive can be even one of the portable my passport. I have several. It just needs to be formatted Macos extended. Once you drag the project it will ask if you want to take the events with you....say yes. Viola ... all movies projects and events stay together. However, if you just want to show the movie after its edited, share to itunes and create a version that can play in itunes.

In iMovie 10.0.2 Why can't I find iMovie projects or events to transfer to external harddrive?

I am trying to backup my iMovie Projects and all of the media for a number of events. I have been having trouble with iMovie 10.0.2, but it could also be my computer. I am running a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro with Maverick. I have a MacMini that I would like to transfer things over to. aybe I just can't process and that is why I am having so many issues with iMovie. Regardless, I cannot find my iMovie Projects or Events in the finder and cannot seem to figure out a way to find transfer them. They seem to have been lumped into a new library (similar to iPhoto) and I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Any ideas?

Yeah, since they switched to using the iLibrary format I didn't recognize things. I figured it out and was able to transfer things. Funny enough, I was trying to solve for the problem described in the other thread.
Sadly, trying a different comp (my MacMini) I was not able to make those darned clips work. They just seem doomed. Thanks for all the help though! I shall now give you more points!

Project Billing - Block of Dollar

Hi,
Need help regarding following billing scenario: -
This is Block of Dollar billing - customer will have budget available but not ready to receive services. So, at the beginning, the whole PO amount will be invoiced/billed.
As the actual work starts, based on the billing rate, dollars will be deducted from the total PO/SOW amount and client should receive an invoice/block of dollar statement displaying how much budget dollar left out of the total amount.
Can anyone have some pearls of wisdom on how to meet this billing requirement in a seeded way? If customization needed, what kind of customization?
Thanks to all in advance.

Hi
I'm not sure I understood the scenario.
The customer send you a PO, which you may enter as an agreement and fund the project.
You say the customer want to get an invoice for the total PO amount, up-front, before you started to work on the project. If that should indeed be an invoice, you can enter a billing event for the total amount, and generate a draft invoice for that.
However, if you already invoiced for the entire allocated fund, you will not be able to invoice again, as work occurs.
I see two alternatives -
A) Consider the first payment as a prepayment, advance payment, and enter it in Oracle Receivables. Later on generate periodic invoices as work occured (Invoice method = WORK) and submit them to the customer. In AR apply the advance payment / on account to the invoices, as they are released.
B) Consider the first payment as an invoice, which customer is paying up-front. Later on generate draft revenue each period based revenue method = WORK. Develop a report showing the RDL's included in each draft revenue, and submit such report to the customer to inform him of the actual work done.

Project Server 2010 - PDP updates not triggering Project Server Events

Hello,
We're experiencing an issue whereby when a user updates a Project PDP, no update is triggered and reflected in the reporting database.
My question is, which Server Side Event Handler is responsible for picking up PDP changes (i.e. Changes to Enterprise Custom Fields)?
Can someone please assist?
Thanks in advance.
What we have configured and is working as expected...
Event: Reporting
Event Name: ProjectChanged, ProjectCreated, ProjectDeleted

There may be multiple reasons for this.
1. SharePoint timer Job is malfunctioning:
For this try restarting SharePoint timer Job. through SP Powershell:
Stop SPTimerv4 , Start SPTimerv4
2: SharePoint Cache is full:
Reset SharePoint Cache by deleting all XML files ( except cache.ini
) in SharePoint Cache located in System Drive\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\<GUID>
3: Check if Microsoft Project Server Event Service is running in Services.msc, try restarting it.

Project Billing Question

Hi All,
I have couple of Project billing questions. Hope you can help
1)A wrong customer was attached to project billing agreement, funding and base line also completed for the customer.
Now we realized that its wrong customer and want to change it to correct customer.
What are the options we have here?
Can we delete or end date the billing agreement?
will the funding be release from the wrong customner after deleting or end dating the billing agreement?
2) Wrong customer attached to a project..agreements,funding,baselining are NOT done.
How can we delete this customer and add the correct customer?
The option to change the customer is grayed out.
Appreciate if you can help.
Thanks

Hi
On your first question you said the agreement was created for wrong customer. Since you already baselined the funding, I assume you have that customer linked to the project.
You can go the Agreement form and enter a negative funding line allocated to the same project. The total allocated amount will be zero. The agreement is now not allocated and free to be allocated to another project. If it is a wrong agreement you may update the agreement amount to zero. Now create a new agreement for the right customer.
The open issue is with the project. You have a wrong customer associated with that project. However, system will not allow you to remove the customer - project record. Solution depends on the way the project was setup. Did you enable customer at top task? if so, end date the top task and create an alternative top task with the right customer.
If the project has been set with a single customer you better close the project and start a new one.
However, if you need an alternative solution, I can suggest a custom method. Go to Help > ..> Examine and change the existing customer of the project to zero contribution.
Now you will be able to add the right customer to the project and have 100% contribution on it.

Upgrading iMovie from v9.0.9 to v10 with projects and events on external HD

Seem to be running into an issue using iMovie v10 post-upgrade...
I run iMovie v9.0.9 with many projects and events on several external (multi-TB) hard drives. They would not fit on my primary HD due to sheer file size.
I was able to upgrade to v10, but when I tried to convert my existing iMovie library, my primary HD suddenly got a disk out of space error. It appears that the library conversion process is consolidating project and event files from the external drives onto the primary drive. Is this to be expected? Are external drives still supported with iMovie v10?
Not sure the best way to proceed, other than to continue using the old library and iMovie v9.0.9 (which thankfully still works) and try to descipher what files to delete from my now-full primary drive.

Likewise. I was afraid there might be a problem when they let Sarah Palin name the new OS.
I have a 500 GB hard drive that had 100 GB free space before "10.9 Mavericks." Now the disk is full. The iMovie Library on my internal HD is 106.1 GB, and "iMovie Theater.theater" (sic) that is 90.3 GB. The computer is now slower than slow. Also, events that were organized under the names of the Hard Drive that contained them, are now simply called iMovie Library 1, iMovie Library 2, iMovie Library 3, iMovie Library 4, iMovie Library 5, etc.
I had to use my finder and re-name the libraries to indicate the name and size of each HD. in the new iMovie interface.
I copied the events from the internal iMovie library to an external library now called "iMovie Library July2013-3TB" and then moved the events to trash. But the events did not appear in trash, and cannot be emptied. So, the HD is still full.
It seems that the new iMove just wants to fill any available HD space with iMovie Theater (sic) whatever that is. I can't realy explore the new OS until I deal with the HD issue. Fortunately, iMovie 9 is still there, so I can go back to using it. I wll try to drage the iMovie library to an external drive and delete the iMovie Library, iMovie Theatre.theatre, and go back to using iMovie 9. I may never open iMovie 10 again, since the mere act of opening it preceeds the destruction of disk space.

Manual billing event creation using form(Bill,revenue)

Dear Dina,
During Manual billing event creation the mandatory columns have set by oracle as Bill amount and Revenue Amount need to be filled, always this bill amount and revenue amount is going to be the same amount.Also for the advance,invoice,retention for all the cases it needs to be filled..what z the purpose behind it??
what it z indicating???Kindly help me to understand...
thanks a lot n advance....

Hi
The revenue amount of the event will be included in the draft revenue.
Draft revenue accounting is -
Credit Revenue
Debit UER (unearned revenue) or UBR (Unbilled receivables). The system will choose one of those accounts, based on the balance between total revenue and total invoices on that project. When total revenue exceed total invoices sytem debit UBR.
The invoice amount of the event will be included in the draft invoice.
Draft invoice accounting is -
Credit UER or UBR (depends on the balance of both).
Debit the Receivables account

I am attempting to update from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10. I have many movies with iMovie 9. Yet, on iMovie 10, when I press "update projects and events", it states "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update". What do I do?

I am attempting to update from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10. I have many movies with iMovie 9. Yet, on iMovie 10, when I press "update projects and events", it states "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update". Somehow it doesnt' see all the movies I have on iMovie 9 library. What do I do?

I'm dealing with this same issue. At one point, it did recognize the Update function but then said it could not import the cache.mov and plist files which apparently means that imovie 10 can't see any of these past events. I can't figure it out.

Project Billing-only / standalone implementation

Does anyone have the experience of implementing Project Billing as a standalone module - ie without using functionalities of Project Costing?
I understand that we would still need to do the project fundation setups, but we don't plan to use any feature of Projects except using Billing to drive some complex billing and revenue recognition activities.
Any suggestions, tips and tricks, or whitepapers would be deeply appreciated!
David Sun from NeoPassage

We are in a manufacturing environment. If we truly want to collect cost into Projects, we would need to turn on Project Manufacturing, which would significantly alter our business process since we don't really track cost by project today.
Therefore, we would like to set up the minimal Project Billing functions, somehow feed sales order and service contract data to a project, and bill/recognize revenue from the project. The specific requirements include 1) progress billing, billing and earning revenue by event, 2) FMV recognition, recognize revenue according to fair market value instead of sales order unit price, and 3) sales and service grouped on one bill, using an umbrella (in this case a project) to cover both.
Thanks!!

Invoice Class for Project Billing Transactions

We are using 2 types of Invoices for our customers. Normal monthly billing and Debit Notes
We have implemented Expenditures for normal monthly billing and Events based billing for Debit Notes (travel and other reimbursements charged to customer)
We want to track these 2 types of Invoices separately in GL Account Analysis. Currently, we have Projects Invoices and Projects Credit Memo as 2 Transaction Types. If we add another transaction Type called Debit Note, then can we select Invoice Class as Debit Note while doing Event based billing? Currently, Invoice Class field (in Project Billing module) is uneditable. So, by default, all invoices get accounted as Projects Invoice
Do let us know. In reporting, we are able to differentiate between 2 types of invoices but receivable account in GL includes both types and we need a mechanism in system to distinguish the 2 types
Regards,
Ketan

Hi
Transaction Types are set up in Receivables. You can set up Transaction Types for Source Project Invoices.
The process - PRC: Interface Invoices to Receivables calls a client extension that allows you to select the transaction type, for each draft invoice. It is called AR Transaction Type Extension, and it uses the procedure - pa_client_extn_inv_transfer.
I'm not sure if the system is limiting transaction types for the classes - Invoice and Credit Memo. You may try setting up transactions types in AR and assign them the class - Debit Memo.
However, you may still have a problem with accounting. Projects AA does not allow you to create a different account by transaction type, nor by transaction class.

Accounting Entries in Project Billing to Receivables Cycle

We are using EVENT/EVENT distribution method and are creating events from a feeder system to Project Billing. These events are accounted, revenue is transfered to GL and Invoices are interfaced into Receivables. Can any of you let me know the accounting entries and the stages at which accounting will happen.

Hi
Supplier invoice debit an account XXXX. This should be a CIP account (construction in progress), which is an Asset type account in GL.
When you capitalize the project, the system is populating the mass addition 'clearing account' field with the account debited by Projects (in your case, by AP). This will be the XXXX account.
The Expense Account should be the account you intend to charge periodic depreciation costs.
The Asset Account should be the account you intend to charge the value (the cost) of the asset in GL balance sheet.
Both, expense and asset, accounts are derived from the asset category.
If you have not defined asset categories, the system will use the default accounts from the system implementation setup.
Usually when you create an asset in Projects, before capitalizing, you are expected to setup the asset category. Asset category derives accounting and depreciation method.
