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

  • Project Billing Event Issue

    Hi Friends,
    I have created a Billing Project. Created Agreement,Funding done, Baseline a budget, created an event. After creating the event i had run the request PRC: Generate Draft Invoices for a Single Project. We get the following errors in the output of the request.
    Error1

    Please let me know where i am at fault.
    Thanks

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Require an Public API to create OKE DELIVERABLE BILLING EVENT

    All
    We have a required to create a billing event on a Delivery of Project Contract. We found that the "_*OKE_DELIVERABLE_BILLING_PVT.INSERT_BILLING_INFO*_". But as it is a PVT, we are not getting approval to use it in our project. Is there any public API available for the same purpose ?

  • Some Clips in Projects and Events are Grayed Out

    I've been using iMovie for a while with the same camera, and it's always worked fine. However, the last time I went to import some clips from my camera, they went into the event folder, but then every clip - including the new ones - that had worked before turned gray. Now, I can't watch any of the clips in the project or events. This is very frustrating because everything worked fine, but now nothing works. If there's a way I can fix this so the clips will actually play, it would be very much appreciated.

    I've experienced the same thing.

  • My imovie seems to have completely crashed... and I'm hoping someone can help me. I have moved all my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. I've deleted all the plist files I can find and I still cannot get it to open.

    Please help... it seems all is lost as all I kind find on this subject seem to lead to nowhere. My engagement was on imovie, a school project, several videos of our son. You will have to hold my hand through this process... as I am not very good at this type of thing. I believe I have deleted all the necessary plist files and moved my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. imovie has been upgraded to version 9.0.9... Whenever I open it I just get the beachball and then I have to force quit and I get the following report:

    Hi
    Yes this can be many things - and I can only guess/suggest.
    A. a very common origin to make the Mac un-happy is to - PANIC-HALT - when the round multicolored thing appear.
    So much can go wrong by doing this - and if done often problem builds up that can result in a real disaster.
    B. NEVER - move or alter any folder named - iMovie Event's resp. iMovie Project's - as iMovie has no search function - moving them results in that iMovie get's 100% lost.
    One can move them - but this HAS TO BE done within the iMovie application (as it is up and running)
    C. preference files - there are TWO or more Libraries on Your Mac. First and easy to find is the one You see when opening Your Start-Up Hard Disk window = Root Library == the WRONG ONE
    What we need to find is the one in Your User-Account folder (icon as a house) - and this is in Mac OS X.7, X.8 and X.9 HIDDEN. To see it do:
    ( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
    or - do like this. 
    On the Finder window at the top left of the screen,
    Hold down the Option key and clicked on Go. 
    This allowed You to see the Library folder and select it. 
    Then keep the Option button pressed down in order to see and select the Library folder. 
    Once found it, You are able to navigate to the iMovie preferences file and move it to the trash.  iMovie then start’s up fine! 
    Now here in Your User Library - find Preferences and trash
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    com.apple.iMovie9.plist
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    I Prefere another way to find out if this is the problem.
    (after all folders (iMovie Event/Projects are moved into original place)
    • go up to Apple Menu
    • Down to System Pref's
    • Select Accounts - Create a new User
    • Go down the Apple menu - Log OUT
    • Log into as the new User
    Now try iMovie
    Does it work at all ? (Yes You don't see Events or Projects in Your original Account just now)
    If so - Then we know that there is a corrupted pref file to be trashed.
    Else - the problem are much more severe.
    D. After Panic Halt / Forced Quit - I always do -. to keep disasters on arms length.

    • Start from other HD or DVD - then run Repair Hard Disk (Apple Disk Util tool)

  • Is there a way to retrieve my projects and events?

    I have copied final cut projects and events to my Mac internal drive from an external drive on which they were located. I could not do this via FCPX because of a problem: FCPX being unable to open up unless [it says] some corrupt files are either restored or move. Neither FCPX nor I are able to do this [restoring or moving out of the corrupt files].
    So, after copying the events and projects onto my Mac's HD, I tried to open the currentproject in FCPX, but the application states that it has to be opened from within FCPX only.
    Is there any workaround by which I would be able to get FCPX read these projects and events [a work of nearly 5 months]?
    One idea: can I make a disk image of the projects and events folders and would they then be 'read' and accepted by fcpx?
    Eagerly waiting for solution/s.

    Try Digital rebellions tool,
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/promaintenance/
    they have a trial version, 15 days, I think you will find that this may work for you.
    Two things that may cause this
    Corrupt render files, solution, delete the render files in your projects.
    Corrupt media files, Pro maintenance Tool
    Also, try launching the event without the projects, this will let you know which is causing the problem, event or project.
    let us know how you go.

  • 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.

  • HT202853 iMovie failing to update older projects and events on external hard drive.

    I've made sure my iMovie events and iMovie projects files are on the top level of my external hard drive, however iMovie says, "iMovie could not find any events or project files to update" please help.
    I only recently updated my computer to OSX 10.10.1 ; before that, I was using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Not sure if that has any effect on this topic.
    Here are my specs:
    Type: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
    Pretty sure graphics and serial dont matter so I wont put it in.
    But yea, I've been trying to figure out what's going on for a few days and have had no result.
    This problem's really hindering my progress for a film I'm making and iMovie is getting more and more frustrating to use as it develops.
    I hope somebody be able to help me asap.
    Thanks

    If you want to try and start over with the iMovie 10 "Update Projects and Events...", remove the "UpdatedToiMovie10" file in both the iMove Events and iMovie Projects folders (the older folders). Then open iMovie 10 and reselect "Update Projects and Events...". My expectation is that you will experience the same missing events problem I have, caused by changing the clip date and time in the previous version of iMovie (9). It's a bug that persists through iMovie 10.0.8 (just released a few days ago). Really really wish Apple could fix this.

  • How do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac from external hard drive

    bought a  macbook pro retina.  backed up 3yr old macbook pro to external hard drive.  how do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac?  thanks!

    Hi dalbatross,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Did you set up your new computer by creating a Time Machine backup and restoring from it?
    If so, the Events and Projects that were on your internal Macintosh HD would copied to your new computer.
    Here is another way to copy the events & projects to the new computer from the external drive:
    iMovie Help: Work with multiple libraries
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7
    Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or hard disks
    Connect a hard disk that contains the target library to your computer, or copy the target library to your computer.
    Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, or create a new library.
    The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
    In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
    In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Note:  To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
    Do one of the following:
    To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
    To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
    Cheers,
    - Judy
