Overview of Projects– subledger integrations
Functional Integration:
Oracle Projects applications are designed to integrate
with many other Oracle application suites (including
Oracle HRMS, Oracle Financials, and Oracle Supply Chain
applications) to provide an efficient information flow,
facilitate a global sharing of resources, and provide
robust intercompany accounting.

Project Budgets
Every projectbudget that you enter is classified by a budget type. Each budget type is defined as
either a cost budget type or a revenue budget type.
Oracle Projects predefines four budget types:
• Approved Cost budget
• Approved Revenue budget
• Forecast Cost budget
• Forecast Revenue budget
For cost budgets, you can enter:
• Quantities
• Raw cost
• Burdened costs
For revenue budgets, you can enter:
• Quantities

Budget versions are grouped as follows:

• Revised original: Revisions of the

• Historical: Historical copies of
previously baselined budgets

Project Budgets –Budget Entry Method (BEM)
For each version of each budget type, these four key budgeting options must be determined:
• Level of budget (project versus task levels)
• Cost amount types (quantity, raw, and/or burdened cost)
• Time-phase (total duration versus time periods)
• Detail of budget (summary versus categorized detail)
Every combination of these key elements is assigned to a unique budget entry method.
Levels of Budget:

Task Organization: Cleveland Mfg
A cross charge is the act of entering a transaction where the
expenditure organization and the task owning organization are
different.

Subcontractor – paywhen paid
In the project it is enabled that when the customer invoice is paid the supplier (subcontractor) invoice is ‘automatically’ released
for payment
24.
Subcontractor – paywhen paid – purchase order
• When the buyer raises the purchase order for the subcontractor, the ‘Pay When Paid’ flag is set to Yes.
• The purchase order distribution is linked to the project & task.
25.
Subcontractor – paywhen paid – AP Invoice
• The subcontractor sends his AP Invoice which is processed by payables department. The invoice is matched to the
purchase order. Once the invoice is validated, the system automatically applied the invoice hold “Pay When Paid”.
• The invoice cannot be selected in a payment process request (payment batch). First the customer needs to pay the
invoice and then the system will ‘automatically’ release the invoice hold and then the invoice will be selected for
payment.
26.
Subcontractor – paywhen paid – AP Invoice
• After the invoice is accounted, there is another process that interfaces this cost into the project.
• As you can see the line is billable. Next steps is to generate revenue and then generate the customer invoice
27.
Subcontractor – paywhen paid – Revenue
Generate Revenue. Next step is to generate customer invoice
28.
Subcontractor – paywhen paid – Customer Invoice & payment
• The Invoice is generated and sent to the customer. The customer pays the invoice, so an AR Cash Receipt is created. This can be
done manually or imported automatically through ‘lockbox’ interface processes.
29.
Subcontractor – paywhen paid – Release hold for payment
• Now that the customer invoice is paid, the project manager / project accountant etc. can run process to release the invoice hold
for the contractor invoice. Running the process: PRC: Release Pay When Paid Holds.
• There are many parameters to select the correct invoices for releasing the holds. When running in draft mode, you can see which
invoices would be released for payment.
30.
Subcontractor – paywhen paid – AP Invoice ready for payment
• In the invoice workbench you can see in the holds tab that the hold is automatically released.
• Once the payables department runs their periodic payment process requests (payment batch) the invoice will automatically be
selected for payment.
31.
Subcontractor – iSupplier
Thesubcontractors and other suppliers can use the iSupplier portal to login and manage their work, manage deliverables, submit the AP
Invoices, see the open invoices, manage purchase orders, enter timecards, etc. The subcontractor can confirm his work and submit.
