To perform revenue recognition based on the Labor and Non-labor Burden schedule types, you need to create a revenue method with a revenue method classification of Rate Based. This classification allows you to use the burdened cost rates of labor and non-labor resources as the basis for revenue recognition. The burdened cost rates are derived from the burden schedules that are assigned to the project or task.

To access transactions for a business unit, the project accountant needs to be assigned to an external role that grants access to that business unit. The external role is defined by the security profile of the business unit and can be different for each business unit. The job role and the legal entity are not relevant for accessing transactions for a business unit. The ledger is relevant for accounting transactions, but not for project transactions.Reference:https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/project-portfolio-management/20c/oapfm/set-up-project-financial-management.html#OAPFM2355903

Application Composer is a tool that allows you to configure standard objects or create custom objects to include business specific attributes for Project Execution Management. Four of the standard objects that you can configure using Application Composer are:

Project Gates: These are checkpoints that mark the completion of a phase or stage in a project lifecycle.

Project Issues: These are problems or risks that affect the progress or outcome of a project.

Project Milestones: These are significant events or achievements that indicate the status or completion of a project or task.

Project Deliverables: These are products or services that are produced or provided as part of a project or task. Project Resource Request and Project Resource Assignment are not standard objects that you can configure using Application Composer. These are features that allow you to request and assign resources for projects and tasks based on various criteria such as availability, qualifications, preferences, etc. Reference: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/project-portfolio-management/20c/oapfm/manage-project-execution.html#OAPFM2356201

(Page 2)Flexible Contract-Based Billing

Traditional contract and billing systems enforce a rigid relationship between a project and a funding agreement, which can constrain project setup and execution.Oracle Fusion Project Portfolio Management provides a highly flexible approachto project contract-based billing via a non-exclusive

relationship between multiple projects and tasks with contracts and contract lines.This means that you will have full control over defining contracts, rates and limits, and when and how to recognize revenue and generate invoices while segregating the planning and execution of your projects.

Asset Cost Allocation Methods

The asset cost allocation method determines how indirect or common costs incurred on a project are allocated to multiple assets.

You can specify an asset cost allocation method to enable Oracle Fusion Project Costing to automatically allocate unassigned asset lines and common costs across multiple assets. Unassigned asset lines typically occur when more than one asset is assigned to an asset grouping level.

Projects and project templates inherit a default asset cost allocation method from the associated project type.You can override the default at the project level. If you use capital events to allocate costs, then you can also override the asset cost allocation method at the event level

Asset Cost Allocation Methods

The following table describes the available asset cost allocation methods.

Method

Basis of Cost Allocation

Actual Units

Number of units defined for each asset

Current Cost

Construction-in-process (CIP) cost of each asset

Estimated Cost

Estimated cost of each asset

Standard Unit Cost

Combination of the standard unit cost and the number of units defined for each asset

Spread Evenly

Equal allocation of cost to each asset

Description

Planning amounts

Financial plan type

Indicates that the financial plan type supports the creation of versions with the following amounts:

Cost amounts

Revenue amounts

Both cost and revenue amounts

Either cost or revenue amounts

Approved budget or primary forecast

Financial plan type

Determines whether a financial plan type is used for creating approved budget versions or primary forecast versions that are used for plan comparison or project performance reporting.

Default financial plan type

Financial plan type

Determines whether the financial plan type is the default selection when you create budget or forecast versions.

Workflows

Financial plan type

Enables the use of a workflow for managing budget or forecast status changes.

Third-party scheduling software

Project plan type

Indicates whether project planning is performed in Microsoft Project.

If third-party scheduling is disabled in the project plan type, you can use the associated project or project template to create a project in Microsoft Project. However, you can't export the new project or link it to one created in Oracle Fusion Project Portfolio Management.

Multiple transaction currencies

Financial and project plan type

Enables entry of plan amounts in currencies other than the project currency.

Spread curves let you distribute quantity, cost, and revenue amounts automaticallyacross accounting or project accounting periods. You assign a spread curve to each resource class. Planning resources (in the planning resource breakdown structure) inherit the spread curve setting from the associated resource class. You can change the spread curve for the planning resource and for any corresponding task assignments, or budget or forecast lines.

The section on the Manage Project Transaction Sources page that will allow you to enable these options is Document Entries. This section allows you to define the attributes and options for each document entry type that is associated with a transaction source. A document entry type represents a group of transactions that have similar characteristics and processing rules. For example, you can define a document entry type for expense reports and enable adjustment and reversal options for this document entry type. TheDocuments section allows you to define the attributes and options for each document type that is associated with a transaction source. A document type represents a source document that contains one or more transactions. For example, you can define a document type for expense reports and enable validation and transfer options for this document type. The Transaction Source section allows you to define the attributes and options for each transaction source that is used to import transactions from an external system. A transaction source represents a system or application that provides transactions to Oracle Fusion Project Costing. For example, you can define a transaction source for expense reports and enable costing and accounting options for this transaction source. The Transaction Entries section allows you to review and manage the transactions that are imported from an external system using a transaction source. You can view, edit, adjust, reverse, validate, and transfer transactions in this section.

What's a bill set?

Transactions originating from different bill plans with the same bill set number on a contract are included on the same invoice.If a contract has multiple bill plans and each have different values for the bill set, Oracle Fusion Project Billing creates a separate invoice for each bill plan

Referencehttps://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/projectcs_gs/OAPJF/OAPJF1121937.htm#OAPJF1121937

To handle a custom spread on budgets and forecasts, you can either create a new spread curve or edit an existing one to match the desired spread points. Then, you can attach the spread curve to a project template or a resource class, depending on whether you want to apply it to all projects using that template or all transactions using that resource class.Reference:https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/project-portfolio-management/20c/oapfm/define-project-budgets-and-forecasts.html#OAPFM2355819

How Resource Mapping Is Calculated

You can track the cost impact of every resource that has been assigned to a project task and use the resource breakdown structure to view the breakdown of these costs. Oracle Fusion Projects associates the costs of the resources used for tasks with branches and levels in the resource breakdown structure. The process for determining the correct association is managed by rules of precedence.

Oracle Fusion Projects uses the followingrules to associate cost amounts with resources:

Select thelowest levelin the resource breakdown structure to which atransaction can map.

If there is only one level to which the transaction maps, the cost amounts are mapped to that level.

If the transaction maps to more than one level, Oracle Fusion Projects sums the precedence numbers for all resource types in the branch and gives precedence to the resource element in thebranch with the lowest sum.

If more than one branch has the lowest precedence number at the lower level, the application uses the precedence number of thenext level up.

If the sum of precedence numbers is the same for more than one branch, precedence is given to the branch with the lowest number at the lowest level.

If one branch contains a user-defined resource type, precedence is given to the branch thatdoes not contain a user-defined resource type.

NoteOracle Fusion Projects gives more precedence to a lower precedence number. For example, a resource element with a precedence number of 1 is given precedence over a resource element with a precedence number of 10.

Topic – Invoice and Revenue Rates: How They Are Determined

Oracle Fusion Project Billing uses bill rates, burdening, and transfer price schedules to derive standard bill rates, multipliers, markups, and bases for calculating potential revenue when the revenue method classification on a revenue plan is as billed, as incurred, or rate based. Similarly,bill rates derive invoice amounts when theinvoice method classification on a bill plan is rate based.

Selecting the offering you want to implement and enabling optional functional areas and features by opting in are not part of managing an implementation project. These are part of configuring an implementation project, which is done before managing an implementation project. Configuring an implementation project allows you to define the scope and features of your implementation based on your business needs. Managing an implementation project involves assigning tasks to various users who are responsible for managing setup data, monitoring the progress of completing setup tasks, and generating a list of setup tasks. These are part of executing an implementation project, which is done after configuring an implementation project. Executing an implementation project allows you to perform the setup tasks and validate the setup data for your implementation.

Program management is a capability that allows you to coordinate and track multiple related projects and tasks as part of a strategic program. To configure the program options as part of implementing the program management capability, you need to define three components:

Calendar: This component allows you to specify the calendar that is used to calculate the dates and durations for the program and its projects and tasks.

Calculation Methods: This component allows you to specify the methods that are used to calculate the progress, performance, and variance measures for the program and its projects and tasks based on various sources and formulas.

Derivation Methods: This component allows you to specify the methods that are used to derive the attributes and values for the program and its projects and tasks based on various rules and conditions. Currencies and Accounting Methods are not components that are required to configure the program options. Currencies are used to define the currency conversion rates and rules for the program and its projects and tasks. Accounting Methods are used to define the subledger accounting rules and options for the program and its projects and tasks.

Project Requirements: Explained

Requirements enable you to capture your business needs. If you manage projects using the Agile development methodology, you start by identifying the high-level requirements and decomposing them further to manage the completion of work on the requirement.

You use the Project Requirements work area to:

Organizebacklogitems by requirements

Manage your list ofbacklogitems

Create project tasks forbacklogitems

Topic - Project Labor Demand: How It's Calculated

Settings That Affect Project Labor Demand

Project application administrators must do the following to set up how project labor demand is calculated:

Organize projects into hierarchical groups on the Manage Enterprise Project Structure page.

Change the quarterly FTE hours for the organization on the Define Project Management Implementation Options page, if different from 520 hours.

Note: You can choose to view labor demand annually instead of quarterly.The Project Hierarchy Viewer uses thecurrent dateto determine which year or quarter to display.

Shift is one of the key elements in defining project and resource calendars. Two additional key elements that are required to define the project and resource calendars are:

Schedule Exceptions: These are dates or periods that override the regular workday patterns and shifts of a calendar. They can be used to define holidays, vacations, or other special events that affect the availability of resources or projects.

Workday Patterns: These are patterns of working and nonworking days that repeat over a period of time. They can be used to define the standard working days and hours for a calendar. Time off, expenditure type, and accounting calendar are not key elements in defining project and resource calendars. Time off is an attribute of a resource assignment that reduces the availability of a resource. Expenditure type is a classification of costs that determines how they are processed and accounted. Accounting calendar is a calendar that defines the accounting periods and dates for transactions.

Password complexity criteria are criteria that determine how strong or secure a password must be for a user account. Password complexity criteria can include requirements such as minimum length, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, etc. Three of the valid password complexity criteria while setting up password policies are:

Complex: At least 8 characters, 1 uppercase, and 1 number

Very Complex: At least 8 characters, 1 uppercase, 1 number, and 2 special characters

Very Complex: At least 8 characters, 1 uppercase, 1 number, and 1 special character Simple: At least 8 characters and 1 number is not a valid password complexity criterion while setting up password policies, as this criterion does not meet the minimum security standards for Oracle Cloud applications. Very Complex: At least 6 characters, 1 uppercase, 1 number, and 1 special character is also not a valid password complexity criterion while setting up password policies, as this criterion does not meet the minimum length requirement of 8 characters for Oracle Cloud applications.

Topic – Submitting the Process to Maintain Project Resource Search Index: Procedure

Submit the Maintain Project Resource Search Index job set to update the resources that appear on the Search and Evaluate Resources page when a resource manager searches for resources to fulfill project resource requests. The job set consists of a set of processes that facilitate efficient and rapid searches for qualified resources.

Resource managers can't search for resources or view resource details if the search index isn't available for a project resource request with qualifications or keywords. For project resource requests without qualifications and keywords, resource managers can search for and evaluate resources based on resource availability even if the search index isn't current or available.

Caution:The search index isn't available if the Maintain Project Resource Search Indexjob set process fails, orwhile the process is running.
