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?

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.

Updating a report source/viewer with new filename

I posted earlier about this problem but now can be more specific so thought a re-post was in order. I am trying to setup an asp.net website using .NET 2.0 and Crystal Reports 2008. Rather than having a seperate page for each possible report with a viewer on it I decided to setup a page and pass it session variables telling it what file name to set the report source to and the variables to pass to it. This worked fine in crystal reports basic (the one with visual studio).
So I have on the page CrystalViewer (CrystalReportViewer) with display page true seperate pages true and crystalRepSource (CrystalReportSource) with cache enabled and viewstate enabled as far as I know cache is required for the paging to work.
In my form code behind file i have something like:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
CrystalRepSource.Report.FileName = SessionHandler.RunReport;
switch (report)
if (PreviousPage != null || paramHasChanged)
case @"~\CollegeReports\CR_Course_Review.rpt":
                //setup report in viewer with correct db logon
                SetupLogonInfo(CrystalRepSource);
                //add parameters
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@year", year);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@school", school);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@division", division);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@progArea", progArea);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@type", SessionHandler.record_type);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@filterText", "School = \'" + school +
                                                        "\' Division = \'" + division
                                                        + "\' Programme Area = \'" + progArea
                                                        + "\' Record Type = \'" + SessionHandler.record_type_text + "\'");
                break;
            case @"~\CollegeReports\CR_WBL_Attendance_Sheets.rpt":
                //setup report in viewer with correct db logon
                SetupLogonInfo(CrystalRepSource);
                //add parameters
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@year", year);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@school", school);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@division", division);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@progArea", progArea);
                CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@attendanceEndDate", LastDayOfMonth(SessionHandler.WBL_EndDate).ToString());
                break;
The case statement actually has about 20 reports in it it is basically used to send the appropriate parameter set to the report and setup the database logon info, the if statement around the case checks if the load is a postback (to allow paging of the report) if it is it won't run the code or if a parameter has changed if one has it will rerun the code. As I said this worked in CR basic.
Unfortunately what now seems to happen is the first time I run a report it works fine, if I then leave the page and run a report requiring different parameters it will give me the parameter error. However if instead I run a report requiring the same parameters it will show the original report document as if it is coming from cache I think. The case becomes a bit more bizarre later as I have created the ability to change a parameter without leaving the report page this actually does a postback and changes the report to the proper one with the proper data.
So it seems to me the code to change report is working first time and for postback but not for re-entering the page. I am really stuck been working on this for hours any ideas.

ok i have found the solution after a quite a while so anyone else getting this I was using the line:
CrystalRepSource.Report.FileName = SessionHandler.RunReport;
I changed it to:
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath(ReportName));
This clears any existing report and loads the correct one seems to have solved all my problems.

One report, One Source System with multiple Company Codes -- Authorization

Hello Guys
We have 2 DEV source systems for our BI implementation right now. one for US (CCode - 406) an one UK(CCode - 301).
We have already completed the implementation for UK with 38 reports.
we are right now moving the US implementation.
when we move to QAS we are going to have one Source system with both US and UK data.
so when we move to QAS, the US clients wants to view the reports developed in UK implementation with their own data.
How can we do that. since some reports doesn't have company code to restrict the data to respective users.
Thanks and Kind regards,
shekar.

Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
You have 3 options to achieve it:
1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

How to add collection to report as data source

Hi all,
i'm trying to add collection to report as data source:
List<DmsLockingItem> items;
ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocument();
DatabaseController dbc = rcd.getDatabaseController();
dbc.setDataSource(items, DmsLockingItem.class, "tName","tName");
this works with com.businessobjects.crystalreports.sdk but not with rasapp.jar.
And i can't use plugin lib in my current project.
can anyone help please?
Greetings,
Nikolas

The setDatasource expects the object passed to either be a DataSet, java.sql.ResultSet, IXMLDataSet, or BusinessView object. Are you able to convert your collection to one of these?

Financial Reporting and Microsoft OLAP - issues with MDX

We have installed Oracle/Hyperion Financial Reporting 11 for a client. They are using a Microsoft Analysis Services 2000 'cube' as the data source. The cube has an Account Dimension with 9 levels in its hierarchy. We have found Financial Reporting truncates the MDX when querying Accounts at the lowest level (around 100 characters in the length of the MDX string) or when querying multiple account groups at a higher level (and displaying descendants). Does anyone have any workarounds or solutions? Is there a better way of doing things? Is there any documentaion on the limitations of using FR over MSOLAP? We have have built the cube with an Account No as the Short Name (Key) and the Account Description as the Name but FR insists on only displaying (and using in the MDX) the long Account Descriiption - whereas using Essabase you can drill down on the Member Names [Account No] but display the Alias [Account Name]

Special Purpose Ledger to refrence original funding source on Goods Issue

My client has a requirement to purchase stock materials using mutiple funding sources throughout the year (same material, company, plant, valuation area, etc.)
We also have a requirement to update the Special Purpose Ledger upon Goods Issue/Stock Transfer with the source funding data.
One method we tried is to do Batch Management of all materials, create the batch automatically at receipt, User Exit on Goods Issue to find the GI batch from the GR line item (MSEG) and use that funding data in FMDERIVE to populate the Special Purpose Ledger.
The above process is a bit complex (especially after multiple transfers) and i was hoping someone has a better solution for this.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Hi, can you elaborate.
'My client has a requirement to purchase stock materials using mutiple funding sources throughout the year'- you want to use different FM account assignments?
'We also have a requirement to update the Special Purpose Ledger upon Goods Issue/Stock Transfer with the source funding data.'- what's the issue? If you put correspond fm account assignments then you can transfer them to SL.

Project Server 2013 reporting database change in Schema from Project Server 2010

I have a current Project Server 2010 implementation, I am planning to migrate to Project Online.
We have Customized Reports that consume from the PS 2010 Reporting DB.
Are there differences in the Reporting DB schema between PS 2010 and Project Online?
My Question is: if we migrated to Project Online, will the reports crash?
Another question is that, is PS 2013 Reporting DB schema the same as Project Online?

Hi Atia,
IN project server 2013 we have only one database instead of 4, it means draft, archive, published and reporting with in one database.Project Server 2013 reporting database schema tool that can be downloaded.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_programmability/archive/2013/01/28/project-server-2013-reporting-database-rdb-schema-reference.aspx
There are differences in reporting of on-premises vs. Project Online
The Project Server 2013 reporting schema includes three new tables, 27 new views, and a total of 33 tables and views that include new fields.
Answer-1 : Yes there are some differences between PS 2010 and project Online.
Answer-2 : Reports will crash as In Project Online you have to use ODATA to create report. You can not query project online data for reporting directly you have to have use ODATA.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163015.aspx
Answer-3 : NO, PS 2013 Schema and Project online Schema is different.

Project working with Project Online in Office 365

Hello,
My question is related to project working and using Project Online to track projects.
* Can I use a single "Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365" subscription for tracking and creating reports about all project sites and their tasks in Office 365?
Meaning, if we have multiple projects designed in Project Pro and then uploaded directly to Office 365, can we gather the task, resource and progress information from these projects (created directly to Office 365) in a Project Online overview? One person
using Project Online to oversee multiple projects, others uploading their projects and changing task information in Office 365 to a SharePoint site with Project Pro and Office 365 subscriptions.
We want to have one person with Project Online overseeing the progress and create reports on all projects that have been uploaded to Office 365 (Project Portfolio Management), but not creating new projects. Is this possible with just one Project Online subscription?
The other users would all have an Office 365 Enterprise 3/4 subscription for accessing Office 365, collaborating and updating their tasks. Project managers would have a Project Pro subscription for creating and uploading projects to Office 365.
Thank you in advance.

Helen,
Your question is slightly confusing, so let me try and say it this way:
1) Your PMs (multiple) will use Project Pro, to create and publish plans to Project Online
2) You will have one user who will 'administer' Project Online and create reports etc.,
3) You will not have any other users access Project Online
4) I am not sure about you 'SharePoint' comment--so excluding this.
The problem is that, Project Pro+Office 365 does not necessarily give you access to Project Online. This combination is more useful when you are using just Project Pro or using project Pro to sync plans with Task lists on SharePoint Site. Plans that are
uploaded this way will NOT appear in Project Online. So, the person who has the Project Online license will not have any data to report on.
Having said that, here are few options:
1) Stick with Project Pro +Office 365. Team Members can access "Task" lists in SharePoint Sites. In this scenario, Reporting will be somewhat complex, because each site is its own, and you might have to customize to be able to report across multiple sites.
2) If you want an easier Project Portfolio Management, Project Online is better. However, in this case, your PMs need to get Project Online with
Project Pro for Office 365 which will allow them to publish plans to Project Online. Then your user with project Online license can generate reports for the portfolio easily. In this scenario, if you want team members to be able to submit timesheets,
work with documents etc., you might want to look into getting the Project Lite for them (http://blogs.office.com/2014/03/31/project-lite-may-1st/)
Hope it helps.

Are you affiliated with Stopzilla? I have downloaded this SZ software for computer protection. Is this a good thing?

I was under the impression that Stopzilla software was affiliated with Firefox Mozilla. But now I'm not sure.
I have downloaded the SZ software for computer protection, thinking it was related to the Firefox and Mozilla browser.
Is this OK?
Thanks for the reply.

I am not aware of any affiliation between Stopzilla and Mozilla. I am not sure how highly it is rated, but a quick web search seems to turn up some rather negative reports eg http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=1416

Baseline timephased data disappeared in MS Project 2013 with Project Server 2013!!!

Hi,
I am facing a very strange problem within a custom "task usage" view that I'
ve created. In the right pane I have three timephased fields (work, baseline
work and actual work). When I first add resources to tasks and save baseline
everything works great and the baseline work data are distributed normally in
the respective line next to the resource name and also in the summary tasks
lines. A few days after saving and publishing the project to the Project
Server 2013, I opened the project from the PrjProfessional and the timephased
baseline data had disappeared. However, the total values of baseline work
(shown in the respective column at the left pane) were all still there. In
other words, I cannot see the distribution of baseline work into the timephased
schedule. When I check the database the data is also gone (MSP_EpmAssignmentBaselineByDay table).
This has a huge impact for the customer!
