Question on Allocations in Oracle Projects

Hello All ,
Please let me know how to transfer amount on one task to another within the same project using Project allocations.
If there are Multiple Projects present in the system how do we map that cost from a project goes into another task on the same Project . How do we establish a one to one relationship between the source and targets in this case?
Regards
DR.

Hi
You should set up an Allocation Rule for each pair of project and tasks you want to transfer costs between.
Navigate to Project Costing > Allocations > Allocation Rules.
A) On the setup form enter a name to the allocation rule, Select Basis Method as Target % and spread Evenly.
Enter the expenditure organization, exepnditure type class and expenditure type for the EI resulting in the allocation run. Save.
B) Now open the Sources form - Under the Project Sources section select the amount type (raw or total burdened cost), then enter the first line of the source - there you list the projectt and task being the source. Save.
C) Open the Targets form. On the first line enter the project number (same as above), and the task number which you want to be the receiving task. On the % column enter 100%. Save.
D) At last go to the Offset form. There you may choose the offset method and the offset transaction attributes. Save.

Oracle Projects 11.5.10.2 : Generate Invoice at the lowest task level...

Oracle Projects: 11.5.10.2.
We are trying to figure out if we can generate an Invoice at the lowest task level. When I looked at the invoice format there was no option to group by at lowest Invoice level However I looked at one of the documents of project partners vendor and created an Invoice format option of lowest task. However I can not fund the project at lowest taks. When I go to the agreement I only see top tasks in the list of values?
Does any one know how to achieve /generate billing at lowest task level?
When I looked at the project type setup there is a billing option called funding level: This only gives two options top task and project level or both but not at lowest task.
any clue/help would be greatly appreciated.
The reason we are trying to do this is we want to pass a tax code at the lowest task level.

Hi
There is no way to fund the lowest tasks.
You cannot generate invoice with invoice lines per lowest level tasks, using standard functionality.
Assuming your billing is based on WORK, you could customize the Invoice Format to summarize RDL's by lowest task level.
However, if you need hard limit control by lowest task level you will need to capture the allocation of fund to tasks. That could be done on a revenue budget you maintain by lowest level tasks. In addition, develop billing extension called during GDI that will perform the fund check for each task.

API to update resource Planning list in Oracle Projects

I have found the following API to update the RPL in Oracle Projects.
PA_PLAN_RES_LIST_PUB
My question is this API updates the RPL only at the Definition level, is there any way that once we update using this API , the changes to be reflected to RPL assigned to the Project Templates.
We cannot check the check box for Centrally Controlled at the RPL setup due to some business reasons.
Pleasae let me know if anyone has any idea about this issue.

You can have customization/trigger on the planning resource list table, whenever it is updated, it checks for the templates which it is being used and it updates it accordingly.
You may have to careful that the trigger is not mutating though !

plz help....................
thanks

This is your 4th or 5th post in which you are using subject like this and I guss you might have been told to write in a decent manner. Havnt you learned anything about being bit decent ?
Why you think that these hell lot of question marks are going to make it more important than other posts. If you want to ask something, just be polite and give some good subject to the post.
BTW why you are looking for ready made demo projects ? Want for some assignment ? If you are new, think, make a project and learn. There is no tablet that can help you in learning Oracle.

How to Integrate Oracle Projects(EBS-R12) with Primavera P6

Dear All,
As i have a requirement that i need to *"Integrate Oracle Projects(EBS-R12) with Primavera P6 for Oracle Projects Accounting ( Costing & Billing ) using Application Integration Architecture(AIA-PIP)"*.
So kindly suggest me to do the same.
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestion.

Vishal, I would recommend that you post this question on the CRM On Demand Integration Development forum.

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.
k
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

VS, ODT and using "Oracle Project"-template requires Policy Management

HI,
I installed the ODT 11.1.0.6.20 and tried to create a new project using the "Oracle Project" but received the following error message: "The project <ProjectName> requires Policy Management. Open this project in Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Developer or Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Architect."
I have tried this using VS 2008 Professional and Team Edition. The operating systems is Vista x64 Ultimate.
Oracle documentation doesn't mention any specific VS version so this is perhaps something else. Is there a workaround or fix to get around this?
TIA,
Kari

OK, I'll give it a try. This suggestion makes perfect sense. I have used that template to create a project before, but noticed that it doesn't contain a windows form by default and so I assumed that it was a build for a n-tier application database access class, which is not necessarily what I want, and so I abandoned the effort. I know I can add a window form. I appreciate the response and will post back my results.
Is there an example project somewhere that I could download and have a look at?
Thanks again for your reply, even though you didn't reply to me. I think you resolved my problem! :-)

Unable to do adjustments for PO Receipt Accrual in Oracle Projects

We are working on Release 11.5.10.
The Allow Adjustments flag for the transaction sources in Projects for receipt accruals (Oracle Purchasing Receipt Accruals) and For Supplier Invoices (Oracle Payables Invoice Variance) are not updatable. Since we are using the Accrue on Receipt option, so only the Invoice variance amount is tranferred to Oracle Projects from Accounts payables. There are situations when the cost gets booked to a wrong task or wrong Project. In such case the adjustments to receipt accruals and Invoice Variance needs to be done. But the same cannot happen in Oracle projects without enabling the Allow Adjustments flag, which is not updatable in Release 11i. How can we make any adjustments to receipt accruals and Supplier Invoices matched with the PO Receipts in Release 11i?
Appreciate any Pointers on this.

Hi
In PO receiving form, enter a transaction of type Correction or Return to Receiving, with minus the quantity you want to adjust. This will be a negative transaction to the original project and task.
Then update the PO line distribution to the new project and task. Finally enter another receipt / deliver transaction to the new project and task.
Run the PRC: Interface Supplier Cost. This process will create new transactions in the old and new projects. The new transactions are linked to the same PO, same line number as the original PO Accrual transaction.
If the supplier invoice have not yet entered in AP, then entering a supplier invoice, matching to the PO will get the variances charge to the new project.
Other wise, you might want to reverse the matching, and reenter the match to the new distribution.
You could also enter a MIX supplier invoice which has the amount as zero. In such invoice enter a negative distribution line to the old project, and a positive distribution line to the new project.

Setup issue in oracle projects - classifications link(standard link) is missing in oracle projects page

Hi Team,
I have a setup issue in oracle projects
I am unable to find the classifications link in oracle projects page.
Navigation : Go to any projects responsibility-->search for the projects-->click on project -->click on setup Tab : At the bottom of the page, we can see some standard links along with UDA's.
Here one standard link Classifications is missing.
Can anybody guide me what setup we need to do get the link.
Thank you.

Hi,
The classifications link is not appearing in your Project's Setup page because, Classifications must have been unchecked in the Project template from which your project has been created. You can find the Project template information by clicking on the Additional Information link in the same Project -setup page. Once you check the classification flag in the concerned Project Template, all future Project creations made out of this template would have the link enabled.
But for the current project, classification link cannot be enabled.

Shan
