Key Features(Subset) • Labor Costing Enhancements • Transaction Control Enhancement • Pre-approved Expenditure Entry via Excel • PO Receipt Accruals Integration • Capital Projects
Labor Costing EnhancementsDescription • Create cost rate schedules by employee or job • Define costing rules • Select a costing method: Rates or Client Extension • Assign cost multipliers for overtime premium calculation • Assign costing rules and rate schedules to organizations • Enter employee overrides
Burdening EnhancementsReprocess Impacted Transactions Only When a burden schedule change affects existing transactions, the transactions are marked for reprocessing. The system now selectively marks transactions based on the entered changes. For example: • When the burden multiplier for an organization is changed, only transactions belonging to that organization are marked for reprocessing • When a multiplier attached to a particular burden cost code is changed, only transactions related to that cost code are marked for reprocessing
Burdening EnhancementCreate Incremental Transactions You now have the option to create incremental transactions to account for burden cost changes. This will reduce database volume when a burden schedule change affects a large number of existing transactions • Burden on the Same Line: Account for changes by reversing existing cost distributions lines and generating new ones or by generating incremental cost distribution lines for the net amount • Burden on a Separate Line: Account for changes by reversing the original expenditure items and creating new ones or by generating new expenditure items for the net amount
New Profile Option for Burdening Enhancement • Create Incremental Transactions: • System Profile Option “PA: Create Incremental Transactions for Cost Adjustments Resulting from a Burden Schedule Recompilation” needs to be set to ‘Yes’
Supplier Invoice AdjustmentDescription • Oracle Projects now allows you to adjust supplier invoice expenditures that are matched to accrue on receipt purchase order lines • When the adjustment is interfaced from Oracle Projects to Oracle Payables, the following occurs: • Two New Invoice Distributions are created • A distribution created to reverse the accrual against the PO charge account • A distribution is created to record the expense with the adjusted project attributes • AP Generates Tax for the new Distributions
Supplier Invoice Adjustment How to Use this Feature ..Example A purchase order has the following distributions which will accrue on receipt Number Supplier Quantity Unit Price Charge Account 3040 Capp Consulting 2 100 01-422-7740-000 The supplier invoice is matched to the above purchase order, the following entry will be passed Line Account Account Description Debit Credit 1 01-000-2200-000 AP Accrual Liability 100 2 01-422-7750-000 Tax Account 8 3 01-000-2500-000 AP Liability 108
Supplier Invoice Adjustment How to Use this Feature contd… When this supplier invoice is interfaced to Projects the Cost Distribution Lines of the expenditure will show Line Account Account Description Debit Credit 1 01-422-7740-000 Computer Paper 100 2 01-422-7750-000 Non-Recoverable Tax 8 Note that the Account debited here is the PO Charge account which is different from the account on the Invoice
