Subcontracting Process in Oracle Projects

Hello,
Can some one please share some inputs on how can a process of subcontracting handled in Oracle projects.
I would like to know the high level process (with modules to handle) when we enter in to an agrement with subcontractors
Example : - "A" is hiring Subcontactor "B" to work on a particular object.
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
The subcontracting process can be exceuted in the following way..
The modules involved will be PA, PO, AP..
This can be handle with the P2P cycle..
Raise a servie PO with the project information in the PO distributions for the service that needs to be subcotracted..
specify the matchig option in the PO Shipments
Enter a receipt (Optional)
Enter a AP invoice and match it with PO or receipt as per the requirement and then run PRC: Interface supplier costs..
this will post the expenditure in the Projects.
In addition to the above i fu have complex PO (with helding some portion of the order amount as retention, advace payment to be provded)
this can be handled through creating the PO through selfsevice PO which accomodates this functionality.l
Thanks
Vijay.

Revenue Recognition Process in Oracle Projects

I am new to Oracle Projects and needs to understand the Revenue Recognition process.
User has created one Contract under which he has Intercompany Billing, Costing and Elimination Projects. He booked the cost under the Costing project and then ran a custom elimination program to eliminate the intercompany cost. Now he is going to the billing project and running the 'Generate Draft Revenue' program however nothing is getting generated. He wants to know why revenue is not getting recoginised.
Is it the correct way of recognizing the revenue. The Distribution rule being used is Event/Event however no event has got created in the billing project to recognize the revenue.
Please suggest.

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.

Oracle Projects not totaling properly after adjusts have been made 11i 11.5.10

Hi Guru,
The our Oracle Projects group is in the process of cleaning up CIP balances on Projects which are left after the Project has been interfaced once to Fixed Assets. We are using the ADJUST function to clear the balances and this is working well for STATE 1 and STATE 2, but it is not working very well for STATE 3 projects. We have 6 Projects in STATE 3 which when the adjust was done, the correct amount was passed to FA but the CIP/interfaced CIP totals on the Capital screen are incorrect. A method is needed to correct the Capital CIP balance.

This is a very common issue.
One way to avoid this is as follows
1) Define a new item status called "Uncosted"
2) On the Item status screen (Inventory > setup > item > status code), make Uncosted item status NON-transactable.
3) Define a process where the item status changes from Uncosted to Active only after the item cost is entered. This can be done via a manual process or by a custom program that uses Item api to change the status.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Can Oracle Project costing drive the depreciation expense amount from FA

-Does Oracle project have direct integration with Oracle FA for deriving the Depreciation amount to oracle project costing and same as sallary in oracle payroll ?
Answer:
1) No, there is no integration as such with Payroll
--- Second Q If Yes ;
If i have Machine X it depreciates 100 USD per month , so i have assigned this machine for 15 days in project 1 and the other 15 days to project 2 did the system will allocate 50 USD to project 1 and 50 USD to project 2?
Can someone answer this - my thoughts are ...
2)Yes, ideally it should allocate amount to multiple projects, not sure whether it is done automatically or we need to run any process ... is there any documentation on this as I was unable to find it.
Please if the Q1 have answer yes i need document how to do this integration , and if Q2 answer is yes also i need who to or what is the condition to reach this point?
Thanks, Ferhiz DInshaw

per our pidgin conversation:
first of all, you are right - there is no such integration with Payroll or FA. depreciation is calculated in FA only. in Projects we do not derive it or control it in any way.
all we do in PA is we collect costs as they occur, generate asset lines and advise FA that an asset is subject to depreciation
regarding multiple projects - that is not how it works right now. a project can have as many assets as needed. However these assets are bound to a single project and do not exist as organization wide transactions.
when you interface your asset lines to FA, you can merge them to existing assets. This again is standard FA functionality. If there is a requirement to have cross project assets in PA, it is an enhancement request.
hope it helps
thanks

TFS 2013 Build for PL/SQL and Oracle Projects

Hi,
We use TFS Build with SQL Server Projects.
We also have PL/SQL projects .We are using MSSCCI to check in and check out files. Is there anyway we can use TFSbuild for these projects( [PL/SQL]/Oracle) too ?
Thank you.
Su

Hi Su,
Thanks for your post.
How do you manually build your PL/SQL/Oracle projects?
TFS Build invoke MSBuild command to build project/solution on build agent machine by default. If these projects can be built using MSBuild command line manually, then we can use TFS Build(default build process template) to build these projects.
If these projects need be built using another complier, and this compiler support run the command line to invoke it, so you can add the InvokeProcess activity(execute the command line) to invoke this compiler to build these projects in build process template,
then create build definition using this customized build process template.

MSP Integration with Oracle Projects

Hi Dina,
Does the integration between MSP and Oracle Projects work without any issues in R 12.1.3? We've tried using it in the past with R 12.0.6 but have to say the experience was not good. It used to work at times and fail on other times. Most of the times the first time import from MSP to Oracle Project used to work but subsequent changes to the WBS used to give issues while trying to import into Oracle Projects (even though the link to the Oracle Project existed in MSP).
One of our new customers (Construction Company) wants to create the WBS in MSP (Microsoft Project ver 2003 or 2007) and then import it into Oracle Projects to track progress, effort and cost. Any changes to the WBS (which happens frequently) will be done in MSP and imported back into Oracle Projects. Does the above mentioned requirement work consistently in R 12.1.3? Please let us know.
Thanks
Regards,
Sri

The MSP integration requirements that you describe should work in the latest versions of 11i e.g. (FP.M RUP4) as well as R12.1.3.
My experience is that providing all scheduling is done in MSP then the integration functionality works well.
The recommended process flow for MSP integration is:-
•     Oracle Projects: A project manager creates a project in Oracle Projects from a project template containing information for deliverables, work breakdown structures, and resource assignments
•     MSP: The unscheduled resource and workplan data is downloaded to Microsoft Project for scheduling
•     MSP: The project is scheduled in Microsoft Project based on task assignments, task dependencies, task constraints, and other attributes
•     MSP: The scheduled workplan data is uploaded to Oracle Projects for publishing
•     Oracle Projects: The project workplan is published in Oracle Projects
•     Oracle Projects: After the workplan is published, the project is accessible to all team members working on the project. Team members work on their assignments and report their progress in Oracle Projects
•     Oracle Projects: The team members' progress on the tasks is collected for updating the project plan
•     Oracle Projects: The project plan is updated with the team members' progress
•     MSP: The project is now unscheduled. The unscheduled project plan is downloaded to Microsoft Project for rescheduling
•     MSP: The project plan is rescheduled in Microsoft Project and the task information is updated
•     Oracle Projects: The rescheduled workplan is uploaded to Oracle Projects for publication

Deploy process in Oracle BPM Enterprise.

Hi,
I have a process which i have developed in Oracle BPM studio. Now I need to deploy this process in Oracle BPm Enterprise version. The other problem is how to access this process from enterprise. Where all the roles and participants maintained. I have oracle BPM enterprise integrated with Weblogic server.
Please help!!
Edited by: Anurag Yadav on Jul 31, 2009 12:11 PM

Download the "Oracle BPM Enterprise Administration Guide" PDF from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/index.html.
Take a look at pages 10 - 17. Page 17 describes how to create a new role in Enterprise.
Look at page 22. This describes how you can match the abstract roles (roles created in Studio) to real roles (roles created in Enterprise described on page 17).
In development, I'll usually just select the "Smart Publish" option as I'm publishing the project. This automatically creates a new real role on Enterprise and automatically matches it to the abstract role created in Studio while you're publishing your project.

Oracle Projects, POand INV integration? need help

Dear All Project Gurus,
We are all having Oracle Purchasing , Inventory , Order Management and Project Costing modules implemented.
The issue is that
we want to place a Standard PO with Project/Task details for the
inventorisable/Stockable Items. So that the Items canbe inventoirsed i.e Received/Inspected/Delivered.
The system doesnot allow to do so.
So I want to know,
Where does this gets validated that only is the detination type in PO is as expense, the Project and Task details tab gets enabled.
Appriciated any solution Guru's
Thanks in Advance
Shameer

Hi
The solution you are suggesting will be involved in a highly complex customization. Since you will need to cover many processes.
When you purchase items for inventory destination, without PJM, Oracle Inventory sends the receiving transaction to GL account of inventory valuation, and from Payables it sends to GL the price variances and any additional costs. If you are going to customize you might need to deal with both sources.
The customization should deal with subsequent transactions like return to vendor and correction of receiving transactions, and any debit memos or adjustments of supplier invoices.
Once the items are in Inventory, there is no functionality of reservation per project. Think about solving such requirement, including methods to track the quantities per project. This is solved by PJM.
When you issue items from Inventory to a project, standard system credits inventory valuation account and debits project cost account. However, based on your previous customization, the project was already charged when items were received. So you need also to work around this process, so the project will not be double charged, and the accounting effect will also be modified. Note, PJM knows not to transfer costs to PA when items are issued from the same project locator in Inventory.
If users transfer the items to another project, you don't have a feature to adjust costs and transfer them between projects. Note, PJM deals nicely with items transfered between projects.

Legacy Timesheet System and Oracle Projects

Dear All,
Is it possible to interface legacy timesheet system with Oracle Projects. The intention is to enter timesheets/hours thru the legacy system and calculation of revenue and invoice in Oracle Projects.
1)Is this achievable, without issues?
2)How complex is this to achieve?
3)Any URL or documentation will be really helpful in this regard.
Thanks.
Regards,
Anand

Hi
There is no need for API.
You should write your own script to populate the interface table.
When you run the process PRC: Transaction Import, the system is validating the transactions. Only the valid transactions are imported as Expenditure Items. Exceptions remain in the interface, and you can review and correct those.
Review the deatils on Oracle Projects APIs, Client Extensions and Open Interface Reference.
Note, you should have set up a Transaction Source in Oracle Projects for your legacy Time system.
