Projects & Grants

I am trying to locate documentation for the grants module, any recommendations? Specifically, do I need FY as a segment in my chart of accounts.

Tricia,
For Release 11.0.3 of Apps, please refer to Chapter 2 of the Oracle Grants Management User's Guide, (part No. A74990-01).

Purchase tax code Grants Management

Hi,
I have the following problem.
The purchasing tax is a cost not reclamaible fron European comunity.
EXAMPLE
I buy a PC for a project granted form European community.
The cost is 300 euro + IVA (italian tax) 20% = 360 euro
I post the follow document
Purchase 360 @ Vendor 360
but in my reporting to European Comunity must be appear 300 euro.
How can I split this costs?
Thanks
Regards

hi swapnil,
Tax Liable is defaulted to 'N' based on Tax definition(VATLiable) from Item master,
This Tax Definition field will be applicable to specific localization,
Run query
SELECT T0.ItemCode,T0.VATLiable FROM OITM T0
Based on value in tax definition in item master,tax liable will get populated at row level of marketing
documents,If it is 'Y',then TaxLiable will be 'Y',if it is 'N',then TaxLiable will be 'N'.
I think in 2007B item master Tax Definition field is set Default to 'N',
By table definition itself it is set to 'Y',You can't change it.
You can change manually tax liable in AP invoice from No --> Yes.
Above briefing is based after testing TaxLiable field in demo database.
Check TaxLiable default value in tables OITM,PCH1,
SAP B1 2007B Company Database Tables Reference chm file,
It will be in documentation of SDK.
Hope it clarifies the issue.

PC and Network Performance

Hello:
The City of Detroit is planning to upgrade to 11.03 or 11i. We are looking for network and PC performance minimums/maximums to support as a minimum 11i and any known future upgrades coming but not released. Is there a publication/white paper that would provide information, not only on the above, but would be the expected performance benchmarks for AP, AR, PO, GL, Projects & Grant HRMS, OTA, and FA? At the moment we are on 10.7 and interface with EMPAC. Users are spread over the City in numerous locations. We must assume that the user will have other non-Oracle apps open such as Office and GroupWise.
Thanks,

Grants vs Projects

I am currently involved in an r12 reimplementation for a HEI that uses the Oracle Grants module, and we are proposing to move to a totally project centric model for the accounting. However, there appears to be much confusion as to whether Grants and Projects modules are compatible. After reading around, my understanding is that Grants and Projects cannot be used in the same operating unit (as they are essentially different versions of the projects subledger), but that they can co-exist in differing operating units in the same legal entity under the same ledger?
If anyone could clarify this, that would be great and I would also like to hear if others have experience of implementing both Grants and Projects, in HEI's or elsewhere, or trying to use Grants for all project related expenditure.

Hey Alejandro -
Your Portfolio is what people will see when they view your profile and this is the most important part of being on Behance. Yours is found here: http://www.behance.net/AlejandroLorenzo
Collections are just a way that you can be making sets of work that you admire or want to save in some way. These are just ways to explore Behance, don't think of them as "collections of your work," that's what your Portfolio is. Collections are a way to save work you like from others. But, if you did want to add your own work to a collection, you'd just view your own project and click "add to collection" in the right hand side column.
Hope this helps clarify!

Grants-Projects/Awards Reconciliation & GL

What are the main reasons for reconciliation problems between Projects and Awards, including summary and detailed information??
Grants and GL reconciliation-main problems? The project and award segments in GL are necessary? If not, how to reconciliate Grants with GL?
Thanks in advance

I have experience in intergrating project accounting to the general ledger in a data warehouse using discoverer to show the results.
The solution I developed for my compnay is to ensure all entries from all sub-ledgers including manual journal entries are moved to the data warehouse tables have project information based on PA autoaccounting rules.
The company I work for was interested in viewing reports that cubed cost centers (dept's.) to projects and to translate all entries (not just account balances) to USD for thier foriegn set of books. So, projects can be seen company wide in USD at lowest entry level. The solution I gave them solved the problem and they are able to view reports and evaluate costs by cost centers and projects on an enterprise wide application.
If this is what you are looking for let me know.
about my self : I have a B.S. in Computer Science (Theoretical Track) and 17 yrs of accounting and book keeping experience including consolidation and multi-currency sets of books.

Report on Funding Sources Affiliated with Projects in Grants Accounting

We are trying to create a report that shows a listing of all of our funding sources and the Projects affiliated with them. A Funding Source can have 0 or more Projects. We are not sure where these links are made
In the report we would like to see:
Funding Source ID
Funding Source Name
Project ID
Project Name

Hi Chris,
We need help implementing Grants Accounting and Projects Accounting Modules for a university client. Can you help? or refer us to a functional and a technical colleague(s) with good experiences implementing Grants Accounting? Much appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Capital projects and Grants Accounting

We looking at the feasibility of creating capital projects in Grants Accounting as part of our R12 project. I need to know whether it is possible to combine non-sponsored capital project types with our existing sponsored projects funded by awards. I have read the White Paper "Oracle Project Management Implemented with Oracle Grants Accounting" but the practical implementation is not clear.

All projects within Grants must be sponsored, even if they have a project type of capital. Due to the overlap in functionality, the use of Projects and Grants in the same OU is not permitted. As detailed in the white paper that you reference, some Projects functionlaity can be leveraged, but in limited capacity. So, you can set up your projects as capital projects in Grants (e.g. with a dummy customer), will this suffice? Is there a specific reason why the projects must be non-sponsored?
Please mark this comment as useful if it has helped.

Project Server 2010 permissions granted through RBS are not flowing through to Project Sites.

Hi,
I have configured RBS as "The Project Owner is a descendant of the user via RBS" its working fine for Projects.
But users are facing access denied issue when working with project sites RBS is not working for project sites.
Can any one Help me How can i grant permissions Automatically for project sites also as same like projects is it possible ?
The Members in Executives group can see all projects in organization but same like can they see all project sites ?
I have found one blog of
RaymondRis he is recommending to do it manually as its not possible to grant Project site permissions Automatically.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/raymond_ris/archive/2013/05/09/project-server-2010-permissions-granted-through-rbs-are-not-flowing-through-to-project-sites.aspx
Thank You, Kumar KSV

Kumar,
The permissions to project sites is not cotrolled by the RBS, as you have discovered. It is controlled by the Security Category permisisons, and the settings if the permssions are auto synced. The permissions work like this:
Project managers who have published a project or who have Save Project permissions on a project are added to the Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
Team members with assignments in a project are added to the Team members (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
Other Project Server users who have View Project Site permission on a project are added to the Readers (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
As long as you use the Auto Sync of permisisons for project sites, i do not think there is any work around.

Shortdump on grant approval of project phases

Hi,
A phase in a project is created abd then released after assigning a suitable resource as responsible for approval and approval process is started.
Resource logs on to project management view in portal, clicks on approvals tab to view list on approvals pending for his/her approval.
System works well up to this point.
When the resource opens the approval, enters a comments and clicks on grant approval button, we get a short dump.
" Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible"
However we do not get any short dump if resource rejects the approval, the system status correctly gets updated as rejected.
Following are a detailed ST22 analysis of the shortdump

When to consider Using Oracle Grants Accounting Over Oracle Projects Acct?

Hello Experts / Dina,
Could you please help me in understanding the situation where I must use Oracle grants Accounting rather than Oracle Project Accounting?
I mean what is the driving feature of Oracle Grants Accounting which is missing in Oracle Project Accounting.
Also if I implement Oracle Grants Accounting then is it possible for me to setup oracle project accounting ( costing / billing ) under same environment ? If Yes it is possible to implement under same Environment then is it possible to setup BOTH under same operating Unit?
Please help.....
Thanks
:-)

Hi Samba,
I believe that the document Dean refers to is found in this MOS note:-
Project Managment & Grants Accounting Are Certified To Work In Same Operating Unit [ID 878214.1]
To address some other points:-
1) Grants Accounting (GMS) uses many of the same database objects as Project Accounting (PA). The best way to think of it is as a "customisation" of Project Accounting; albeit one that has been created by Oracle. For example, when a new grant is created (called an Award, stored in GMS_AWARDS_ALL) a supporting record is also automatically created in PA_PROJECTS_ALL
2) Because of 1), Grants Accounting and Project Accounting cannot be implemented and used independently within the same Operating Unit; Grants is built on Projects. However, some Projects features can still be used directly, such as elements of Project Management as described by the above document
3) Grants tends to only be used within the higher education, research and public sectors. Organisations within these industries typically have complex project funding structures, and have a requirement for tight budgetary control enforced by the system. Grants provides functionality to cater for both of these requirements, better than Projects does on its own. This does of course come at a price; by implementing Grants there are some Projects features that are not available
Please mark if useful / answered. Project (EU) Ltd has a wealth of experience implementing Grants and Projects; we are the first partner globally to have been recognised by Oracle as specialist Oracle Projects implementation experts. Please see our blog for more information or get in touch if you need any further assistance.

Does Project Manufacturing and Grant Accounting is part of Prj Suite?

Hi Dina / Experts,
Can you please explain whether module Project Manufacturing and Grants Accounting is part of Oracle Project Suite?
Do u have any refer documents for it?
Thanks
:-)

Grants Accounting is technically part of the Projects Suite but Project Manufacturing is not. You will find information on Proj Manufacturing in the Discrete Manufacturing area on the Oracle website.
We have Datasheets for both products:

Project Link to Grants

Freinds,
Any idea how the projects and the grants are linked through backend tables???
Appreciate your response
Thanks,
Raghav

Hi,
This is a very generic question and probably difficult to answer specifically. What I can say is that for each of the functionalities that are available in Grants, if there are separate tables available in Grants then those are used, else the Projects tables are used to store the Grants transaction data.
Some of the popular Grants tables i can recollect are: gms_encumbrance_items_all, gms_bc_packets, gms_balances, gms_awards_all, gms_award_distributions, gms_summary_project_fundings, gms_burden_components, gms_event_intersect, gms_exp_type_act_cost, gms_project_types, etc.
Thanks,

Uploading Projects and Grants through Web ADI

Is it possible to upload both Projects and Grants through a Web ADI?
Do we have to create two separate templates to accomplish this or can it be done through a single template?
Thanks in advance.

I've not run a web gallery where others could contribute to so don't know if the downloads will be the same size as were uploaded. I know that iPhoto will optimize somewhat, i.e. reducing the file size but not the image size. All I can suggest is you create a text gallery, set it for maximum size download, allow others to contribute and have someone upload a file so you can download and test.
Otherwise you could open your Public folder on the iDisk to them and let other upload folders of image files to it. That would be exactly what goes up comes down.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I hope someone can tell my why it takes imovie 20 hour to finish a movie project. Granted it is a 5 hour documentary, but 20 hours, really?

Is it my computer or is there a legitimate reason for imovie to take so long to prepare a project for sharing?

Hi
Can it be so that Start-up hard disk is filling up ? Try to never have less than 25Gb free space when working with SD-video and 4-5 times more when editing HD-video.
Other hard disk's of NO interest at all as neither iMovie or iDVD or Mac OS can address them for their temp.files.
Yours Bengt W
