Project Costing Inquiry Responsibility

Hi Guys,
I cannot find the Project Costing Inquiry Responsibility in Oracle Apps 11i. Only the Project Costing Super User is available.
How can I add this inquiry responsibility? I dont know the menu and functions to be used.
Thanks,
Benjo

Hi,
I cannot find the Project Costing Inquiry Responsibility in Oracle Apps 11i. Only the Project Costing Super User is available.Navigate to (Security > Responsibility > Define) and query "Project Costing%".

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,
:-)

Details of Project Status Inquiry in project module

Hi Dina,
Will you explain in details below PSI column with example.
01) Ovr Bgt
02) YTD - Rev Bgt
03) YTD - Act Rev
04) YTD - Cst Bgt
05) YTD - Act Cost
06) Commit Amt
07) PTD - Act Cost
08) Tot - Rev Bgt
09) Tot - Cst Bgt
10) Tot - Orig Cst Bgt
11) Fin % Cmplt
12) Est to Cmplt
13) Summarization Exception
Thanks
Regards
GSM

Hi
PSI explanation is included in Projects Management User Guide, Chapter 10, page 10-7 (release11.5.10).
You might also want to review the Project Status Inquiry Setup chapter on the Projects User Guide release 11.0, which list the exact definition and formulas.
01) Ovr Bgt - this column will show the character '*' if the inception to date actual amount plus the commitment amount exceed the cost budget amount. You can select the budget type on the tools menu.
02) YTD - Rev Bgt - Year to Date accumulative amount of revenue budget.
03) YTD - Act Rev - Year to Date accumulative amount of actual accrued revenue
04) YTD - Cst Bgt - Year to Date accumulative burdened amount of cost budget.
05) YTD - Act Cost - Year to Date accumulative burdened amount of actual distributed costs
06) Commit Amt - current burdened amount of summarized commitments
07) PTD - Act Cost - Period to Date accumulative burdened amount of actual distributed costs
08) Tot - Rev Bgt - Total revenue budget from the start date till the end date of the project
09) Tot - Cst Bgt - Total burdened amount of cost budget from the start date till the end date of the project
10) Tot - Orig Cst Bgt -Total burdened amount of cost budget from the start date till the end date of the project, based on the budget version, which was flagged as original (usually, the first version of the budget type).
11) Fin % Cmplt - Financial percent of completion. This is a calculated measure based on the formula: Financial percentage complete:
ITD actual burdened cost / total current burdened cost budget amount X100
12) Est to Cmplt - Estimate to Complete. This is a calculated measure based on the formula Estimate to Complete:
Total current burdened cost budget amount – (ITD actual burdened cost + PTD commitment burdened cost)
13) Summarization Exception - list a note if summarization process could not complete successfully.

Projects Expenditure Inquiry - Forms Personalization Query

Hi, and Happy New Year...
I'm using 11.5.10.2 and am stuck on a forms personalization and wondered if I could ask for some help please?
I'm using a Projects Inquiry responsibility, and going into Expenditures > Expenditure Inquiry > Project
I want to hide the "Mass Adjust" button at the bottom of the screen (which appears to the left of the "Clear" button).
I've then gone into Help > Diagnostics > Custom Code > Personalize
Function Name     PA_PAXTRAPE_SINGLE_PROJECT
Form Name     PAXTRAPE
Seq          1

Target Object     ITEMS_QF.MASS_ADJUST
Property Name     DISPLAYED
Value          FALSEThis works when I first go into the form - the "Mass Adjust" button is hidden.
However, I then have to search for a project - I enter the project number, press tab, and EBS searches for the project, and displays the project name.
The "Mass Adjust" button then appears again.
I have tried all sorts of variations:
Function Name     PA_PAXTRAPE_SINGLE_PROJECT

Any advice about how to do this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
In the end I spoke to someone in the office who said that it would be simpler to use menu and function exclusions instead. I then deleted the personalisations, and added the following exclusions against the responsibility, which worked:
Function:
Expenditure Inquiry: Run Project Streamline
**** Removes "Run Request" button from "PA Expenditure Items" screen*
Submenu:
Expenditure Inquiry: Adjustments
**** Removes "Mass Adjust" button from "Find Project Expenditure Items" screen*
Thanks for your help though, it's much appreciated.

Creating Projects via Project Mangement Module vs Project Costing Module

Hi,
Is it true that I have to use Project Management(Project Super User responsibility) to create projects in order to fully utilize Project Management Module(Project Super User responsibility)?
I noticed that if I create a project via Project Costing Super User(Form based), I cannot access functions such as Project, Resoruces, Workplan, Financial tabs,etc. when quirying the project via Project Management Module(Project Super User responsibility)
Does it matter which responsibility/module you use to create projects?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Joon

Hi Dina
Thanks for your answer. This is a situation that I have. We'be been using Project Costing for years and we mihgt start to enter a lot of budget data. The budget data are huge so we're looking at WebADI solution. I noticed that in order to use WebADI I have to configure Project Mangement and use Edit In Excel function which is from Project List page in Project Mangement module. (Cannot use WebADI as standalone)
1. Is my understanding about WebADI correct? I have to start WebADI from project management module, not from Excel.
2. Do you remember the program names that convert/upgrade to project management version of projects? Is the program simple to run and stable/
Thanks,
Joon

Org Parameters - Project Cost Collection Enabled

Hi Experts,
I would like to uncheck the Project Cost Collection Enabled for an Organization. This Organization is PJM enabled. However, it has no project related transaction getting created.
Can we uncheck that? Let me know your views on the impacts of doing this.

Hi one more question
(1) the responsibility from which the cost collector is being launched
is pointing to the operating unit that owns the records to be
processed. Projects are setup by operating unit (not by organization).

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.

Settlement of Project Cost and revenue to GL

I am trying to Settle the project Cost and Revenue to GL account. For the same I have defined settlement profile maintaining GL as optional receiver and then I have maintained Source structure for cost and revenue as to separate them at the time of defining settlement rule, defined Allocation structure where in receiver against source, I have assigned GL as by cost element receiver. After that I have maintained settlement rule for WBS element, but when I am running a settlement is done to either of the GL for cost or Revenue which ever is defined first in settlement rule. It is not creating any settlement for second line item of the settlement rule and system is not giving any error message as well.
Where as if I am trying individually only for cost or revenue , settlement is completed with all the values but with any accounting document generated, but if I see the entries to that GL, a settlement entry is created for that transaction.
Can anyone please help in solving this issue ASAP.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
    If it is posting to the first line means....
Follow the steps below:
First try to create a project and post the actuals and revenues.
Go to cost element report pick up those cost elements both for costs and revenues.
Go to Soruce Structure in the config, define the structure with name for Ex: 'Z1' and define two assignments, one is Costs and other Revenue, by selecting the costs go to Source mention the cost element where the actual costs are posted on (Mention only that cost element no other cost elements), next select the Revenue assignment and click on Source and mention the only cost element where the revenue wsa posted (Mention only that revenue cost element no other cost elements) and save the transaction.
Come back to project builder, select the wbs and click on settlement rule, in the menu goto-->settlement parameters and check whether the source and settlement profiles are correct or not, incase source structure is not available mention the same.
come back to settlement Rule overview and fill the fields as mentioned below:
1st line:   Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number
              Source Structure: COSTS
2nd Line: Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number (Revenue Account)
              Source Structure: REVENUE.
Now Run the Settlement for the specific period costs posted, the costs will be posted seperately to the two different GL Accounts.
I think this will resolve your problem.

Hi,
I am working on PS module where we have to build a integration between PS Cost plan (At WBS Element level) to SD Quotation. I have to use transaction CJR2 for this. we will add the custom field 'Indicator' on the initial screen of transaction CJR2 for this. I want to know what is the HEADER DATA table for Project Cost Plan, so i can add this custom field in that table and letter on use in CJR2.
If someone have done any kind of modification for work on CJR2 transaction, please provide me some information on this since i am first time working on PS module. I need some information on modifying the initial screen on transaction CJR2.
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
you'll find Project cost plan in tables RPSCO / COSP

A Standard RRB report that shows actual project cost line items .... ?

A Standard RRB report that shows actual project cost line items but that also shows amount/qty by rejected, billed, to be billed, postponed?
I'm looking for something that will allow project managers to reconciile with the RRB totals and be able to dril in a see a level detail not available in RRB to decide what should be billed, what should should be deferred (postponed) and what should be rejected out of hand.
Thanks.

Thanks Virendra Pal but the VAx5 reports are not really the answer - maybe a custom report will be required right enough.

Creating Master Project - Child Projects Hierarchy in Project Costing

Hello,
Is it possible to create a Master Project (for example, for a division) and one or many Child projects for that divisions as the projects get rolled out?
A division is given a budget which can be assigned to the Master Project and as the divisional Projects are rolled out with a specific budgeted $s, the Master Budget would be reduced with a new version, so the total budget amount at Master Project Level remains the same.
Just like each sub-task roll up to a Top task and top-task make up the total Project, is it possible to create hierarchical Master-child project relationship with up roll up capability.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Note: The client @ 11.5.10 does not have License to use Project Contracts, and uses only the Project Costing module.
Regards.

What kind of component to use as CI if I want to add a project costing rec

Seems like the Project_Express and Intfc_Proj_Express components do not allow, by default, for a creation of new records. When I tried to enable the creation by allowing for Adds in the component properties, and then create CIs from these components, it still will not allow me to create a record (the create in the CI tester is disabled). Any ideas on how to create a project costing transaction record via a CI?

Allright I found an answer myself. What we call Cinch-cabel in German is a common phono-cable in English...
so in order to extend the speakercables just use male to female phono-cable!
my bad guys!

Project Management Vs Project Costing

Hi,
Is it true that I have to use Project Management(Project Super User responsibility) to create projects/templates in order to fully utilize Project Management Module(Project Super User responsibility)?
Does it matter which responsibility/module you use to create projects?
Please advise.

Hi,
The Project Management will allow the creation of the projects as well as the templates along with the management tasks like Reosurce serach utilization whereas if the Project Super User responsibility is used it doesn't have the management fetaures avaialble.

Allowed GR reversal affecting the project costs

Hi,
We have just performed our month-end settlement but when we are tallying our project costs and project costs clearing accounts, we have noted discrepancies. The discrepancies were from the reversals of GR for projects costs that were already settled. Is this really the standard of the system? To allow reversal of GR even if project costs were already settled to AUC?

Hi,
Suppose take a material A for which in month Jan you created a requirement PR-PO for the same, after that you did GR for the same in same month of Jan. Then you perform period end process for Jan., so your jan month will have actual of that material with respect to that CO object which will have actual posting in GL for that month. Now, in Feb general procees after period end process of jan, you reverse the GR with respect the present period that Feb. and and now you compare the value of settlement and present Account's value which would not match, so it will match once you settle this present updates with respet that material for the same CO object, then it will match with account's values
Best Regards
Vicky
