Metalink
When you change the baseline workplan version, the latest
baseline data will be used to compute all future progress
information and earned value metrics. A new public API is available
to refresh conversion rates or refresh cost and bill rates on the
entire budget or workplan version. When the financial physical
percent complete is updated from the workplan physical percent
complete, the as-of-date for the financial percent complete is
derived from the latest date of the following:

integrate with the project-level staffing plan,
Metalink
You can assign any project team role to workplan tasks.
Metalink
You can roll up workplan resources assigned to individual tasks
and create project team roles, thus creating resource requirements
or assignments based on your total planned work across the
workplan. Metalink
You can assign resources associated with project team roles on
tasks in the workplan
Metalink
You can review the resource usage with under or overcapacity
highlighted. You now have several ways to collect, roll up, and
analyze the progress of a project workplan so that the progress can
be more accurately managed and communicated to stakeholders. You
can either enter all progress centrally for the project or delegate
the progress entry to task managers or the project resources.
Progress collection consists of the following components: A) Actual
Effort or Cost B) Estimate to Complete (ETC) C) Estimated and
Actual Completion Dates D) Physical Percent Complete Many of the
collected progress measures are rolled up through the WBS in order
to provide a measure of progress at every level of the WBS. These
measures include estimated and actual dates, effort, cost, percent
spent, percent complete, and physical percent complete. After
progress has been rolled up to the project level, you can perform
the following actions to review overall progress: A) Perform earned
value analysis from the Project Performance Reporting page B)
Generate a financial forecast using the physical percent complete
or ETC

This release introduces enhancements to help you develop and
maintain budgets and forecasts more accurately, efficiently, and
flexibly. Metalink 1) In addition to entering quantity, cost, and
revenue budget amounts, you can generate budgets based on a
financial plan (such as a bid or estimate), the staffing plan, or
the workplan resource of the project. 2) Cost amounts are
automatically calculated based on quantity using the rate Metalink
When editing budget versions, you now have a variety of ways to
enter the information more efficiently: Automatically calculate
cost and revenue amounts based on effort or quantity using actual
or planning rates. Metalink Greater flexibility for entering and
viewing budget information: A) Budget at Any Level B) View Rolled
Up Amounts C) View Budgets in Graphical Format D) Compare Financial
Plans E) View Multiple Currencies The forecast for a project is
comprised of the actual transactions logged to date, plus an
estimate to complete (ETC). As the project progresses, revised
forecasts can be generated based on default options. Analyze your
forecast at various levels of the financial structure and resource
breakdown structure, and you can compare variances of the current
forecast to prior forecasts, budgets, or any other financial plan
version.
Metalink
Metalink
Metalink
The initial forecast is created automatically when you submit
the first baseline version of approved budget. Metalink This
release provides tighter integration with Microsoft Excel by
supporting planning resources, period profiles, an additional
column set for rates, and the ability to Oracle Projects Release

the enhanced budgeting and forecasting APIs to support new
parameters such as plan type information, plan version information,
currency code, and change reason. New parameters are added to the
following APIs: ADD_BUDGET_LINE Metalink
The revenue budget and forecast generation process now
recognizes bill rates overrides and considers billable status of
tasks, assignments, and requirements. Also, you can now generate a
cost budget from a workplan with cost disabled. Metalink When you
generate revenue budget or revenue forecast from a staffing plan,
if the bill rates are overridden on the project assignments or
requirements, the overriding rates are used to calculate the
revenue amounts. Otherwise, the standard rates on the target
version are used. Metalink When you generate revenue budget or
revenue forecast from a workplan, a financial plan or a staffing
plan, the billability of tasks, project assignments or project
requirements is evaluated. If the task, project assignment or
project requirement is not billable, then the revenue amounts for
the budget or the Metalink
Some businesses need to generate the cost budget based solely on
the workplan effort. Metalink The budget or forecast generation is
enhanced to provide visibility on rejections of rates such as
missing cost rates, bill rates or conversion rates in the source
workplan or financial plan. You have the choice to fix the rates
setup and correct the source or ignore the planning lines with
missing rates for budget or forecast Metalink This release includes
several enhancements to streamline the creation of issues and
changes, as well as the implementation of changes into budgets and
forecasts. Besides Metalink
Changes to the implementation of financial impacts to budgets.
Metalink 1) Define user statuses for issues and change documents
according to the needs of your organization. 2) Creation,
maintenance, and implementation of change documents is further
streamlined. Metalink To help ensure projects stay on course, you
can review the overall status of all projects, be alerted to
significant issues with the project status, and then drill down to
identify the root cause of a problem. Metalink
A new centralized view is available to review all the
information for a single project, including earned value, cost
information, and project status. Metalink 1) You can view and
analyze project revenue, cost, margin, billing, collections,
backlog, earned value performance, and effort performance. 2) It is
also possible to compare periodto-date and project
inception-to-date amounts against budget to determine running
variances. Metalink In addition to project level summary amounts,
you can also view performance measures by task, by resource, or any
combination of task and resource to understand the source of
variances. Metalink Project, project functional, and global
(enterprise) currency support for all plan and actual amounts is
provided in project performance reporting. Therefore, you can view
performance measures in all currencies used to manage and report on
your projects. Metalink
1) Project performance reporting supports PA, GL, and global
(enterprise) calendars. 2) This feature enables analysis by the
corporate reporting calendar, the local (fiscal) calendar, and the
project calendar. The following enhancements are now available for
performance reporting: A) Graphical Display Enhancements for

ustomizable User Interface
Metalink
Metalink
The custom measures can be included in the pages to be viewed
alongside predefined measures.
Metalink
Support for mapping amounts and data associated with contingent
workers to appropriate resources (suppliers) has been introduced in
this release. A new parameter has been introduced for project
performance concurrent processes to allow it to run for a
particular operating unit. This addition enables you to run the
processes at different times for operating units that are located
globally. Periodic reporting pages that show data by week, month,
quarter, and year now have a filter that lets you select a range of
periods for which you want to view the data.
Metalink

This release incorporates public views to access the data model
behind the summarization so that you can create your own reports.
You can now access your financial plan information as well as the
forms-based budget information through Project Status Inquiry (PSI)
taking advantage of the benefits of both reporting models.
Metalink
Metalink
Earned Value Management (EVM) is a way to manage projects by
understanding the mathematical relationship between project scope,
work, and budget. Oracle Project Management enables you to track
programs by grouping projects in a hierarchy, which then provides
visibility of aggregate project data into a program. A program may
have an unlimited number of levels of projects associated with it.
The program hierarchy can be independently maintained for workplan
and financial structures if they are not shared in within a project
or program.
Metalink
Metalink
Metalink
Workplan information such as scheduled dates roll up through the
program, with control points at each of the linked project
levels.
Metalink
You can now link more than one project to multiple programs so
that the project data will be reflected in the rolled up amounts
for each program.
Metalink
When you receive a program in Microsoft Project, the tasks with
linked projects will be received as regular tasks without any links
to other projects.
Metalink
Metalink 1) You can now search for and track contingent workers,
or contract labor, as candidates and staff them on projects.
Staffing managers can track contingent workers in the application
just like any other employee resource. 2) In addition, project

accounting rules defined in Oracle Subledger Metalink
Oracle Project Costing supports multi-org access for expenditure
entry, expenditure inquiry, and transaction processing.
Metalink
For Cross Charge processing, a legal entity is associated with
each operating unit using Project Costing.This association is used
to identify the provider and receiver legal entities for all charge
transactions. Metalink Multiple reporting currencies provide
customers with the capability to account and report in multiple
currencies in addition to the primary ledger currency. With this
release, MRC amounts are calculated by Oracle Subledger Accounting
and stored in alternate ledgers. The MRC information in Oracle

This is a new features related to integration with Oracle
Purchasing and Oracle Payables. A contingent worker, or contract
labor, can fill any project role, including the project manager.
The procure-to-pay process provides buying organizations improved
methods for procuring and managing contingent workers. You can
optionally process contingent worker labor as supplier costs or
labor costs. When processing cost as labor, contingent worker
timecards must be entered. The following entry methods are
supported: Oracle Time and Labor
Metalink
Metalink
Metalink
The transaction flow for expense reports is the same for
contingent workers and employees. All expense report entry methods
available for capturing employee expenses are also supported for
contingent workers. However, payment processing differs for
contingent workers in that the payee for contingent worker Metalink
Oracle Payables incorporates Invoice Lines into the invoice model.
Adding Invoice Lines is a key architectural change, which enables
Oracle Payables to better model the paper or electronic business
document yet maintain key features that exist at the invoice
distributions level. This feature offers the ability for line level
Metalink This enhancement provides for recognizing partial payments
or for reversing the cost when a payment is made. It also allows a
reconciliation of the cost recorded in Oracle Project Costing with
the cost recognized in Oracle General Ledger, therefore, improving
the accuracy of costing your projects. Metalink
The commitment and cost reporting processes in Oracle Project
Costing have been enhanced to support these new features. With this
release, you can now adjust supplier cost in Oracle Project Costing
under some some conditions. When supplier cost is adjusted in
Oracle Grants Accounting, the accounting entries required to report
the adjustment activity are generated and interfaced to Oracle
General Ledger by Oracle Project Costing.
Metalink
Metalink
To improve usability, a concurrent process is now available to
perform adjustments to a large number of transactions at one time.
Metalink This release provides several new reconciliation tools.
First, accounting information for all subledgers will be stored in
Oracle Subledger Accounting. Second, Oracle Project Costing has a
new supplier cost adjustment report. Finally, Oracle Payables now
provides a drilldown to the Project Expenditure Inquiry
Metalink
This release introduces two enhancements to the integration
between Oracle Project Costing and Oracle Project Manufacturing.
Metalink You can optionally use the burdening feature of Oracle
Project Costing to calculate the burdened cost of inventory and
work-in-process transactions. When this option is enabled, raw cost
amounts are derived in Oracle Project Manufacturing and burdened
cost is calculated in Oracle Project Costing. To Metalink When
inventory and work-in-process transactions are interfaced to Oracle
Project Costing, two new attributes are passed, the inventory item
and the BOM resource. These attributes are used with the planning
resource enhancements to update progress data against the workplan
and to compare actual project cost with Metalink You can enter
actual project transactions for future-dated people only after they
become active. In a future-dated expenditure batch, you can enter
people who will be active as of the transaction dates. Metalink
Oracle E-Business Tax is a new infrastructure for tax knowledge
management and delivery using a global system architecture that is
configurable and scalable for adding country specific tax
content.
Metalink
Customers can now be defined at the top task level. This
enhancement enables you to invoice customers for specific project
work by top task. Additionally, if all the customers of a project
are not known up front or change over time, you can add more
customers on the project by associating them with new top tasks.
Metalink Invoice methods can now be defined at the top task level.
This enhancement enables you to invoice customers with different
methods such as, fixed price and time and materials, within the
same project.
Metalink
This enhancement enables you to write off invoice amounts for
specific line items on an invoice as opposed to prorating the
amount across all lines on the invoice. Metalink
Concession invoices are processed like existing credit memos.
Also, you can apply concessions at either the invoice header or
invoice line level. Metalink You can now use the project functional
currency conversion attributes to convert to Oracle Accounts
Receivable functional currency. Oracle Accounts Receivable uses
these conversion attributes to derive the exchange rate based on
the invoice date. Metalink You can perform the following functions
through the new user interface: View Billing Summary Revenue,
Funding Backlog, Invoice Collections, Invoicing Status View Invoice
Summary by Customer Metalink
You can assign a future-dated person as an agreement
administrator. To support revaluation of Unbilled Receivables and
Unearned Revenue (UBR/UER) accounts in Oracle General Ledger at
period close, Oracle Project Billing now derives revenue in a
currency that is different from the functional currency, and
interfaces both project functional and revenue transaction
amounts
Metalink
Metalink
You can now optionally choose to convert the revenue amount in
project functional currency to revenue transaction currency.
Invoice transaction currency is treated as your revenue transaction
currency. Metalink You can now view unbilled receivables and
unearned revenue amounts in project currency in the Billing Review
page. The project-level UBR/UER balance in project functional
currency (PFC) is converted to project currency and displayed in
the billing review page. Metalink
1) You now have greater flexibility in how you can define
resources within a project. 2) With people resources, you can
better manage the costs and work of a complex organization.
Metalink
This enhancement enables you to perform work and financial using
varying levels of granularity, and at the same time view reports
based on a hierarchy of resources called the Resource Breakdown
Structure. Metalink
Planning resources enable you to have greater flexibility in how
you can define resources for work and financial planning within a
project. Metalink 1) You can now define a resource breakdown
structure, or resource hierarchy, with several levels of resources
for reporting purposes. 2) The resource breakdown structure
provides an alternate view of the WBS for analyzing your workplan,
financial plan, and project performance. Metalink A contingent
worker is a non-employee people resource who works for your
enterprise, and for whom your enterprise is responsible for their
costs and expenses. Oracle Projects enables you to define and
utilize contingent workers on projects in the same capacities and
manner as employees. You can define Metalink You can quickly
determine the health of projects by viewing the project list. For
each project, a series of colored graphical indicators are used to
connote project health.
Metalink
You can now define how a project scores against a configurable
hierarchy of strategic investment criteria. 1) You can now
designate your projects funding approval status. 2) This status
enables you to define the workplan, resources, and financial plan
for a proposed project without it going into a portfolio planning
cycle. 3) You can set a projects funding approval status to
Proposed when you are This release provides a configurable work
list, which is a consolidated view of the work to be accomplished
for project. The work list can include open items such as tasks,
issues, change requests, change orders, and deliverables which can
all be sorted by due date, priority and class. 1) You can now hide
tabs that are not relevant for the project, change the order of the

Journals with frozen journal sources are prevented from being
reversed to streamline the reconciliation of data from Subledger
Accounting sources.
Metalink
Users are no longer allowed to reverse Unposted journals. You
are able to control data entry to an account by ensuring it only
contains data from a specified journal source and to prevent users
from entering data for the account either in other journal sources
or manually within general ledger. You can secure your setup and
definitions by granting specific privileges to users to view,
modify, and/or execute a definition. This enables you to control
which of your users can view a definition, but not modify or
execute it, or execute a definition without modifying it, or vice
versa. For example, since Sequential numbering of accounting
entries is a strong business requirement in many countries in
Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America and is used by fiscal

Oracle Applications R12 - New Features
Additional Information The Matching Principle is a fundamental
accounting directive that mandates that revenue and its associated
cost of goods sold must be recognized in the same accounting
period. This enhancement will automate the matching of Cost of
Goods Sold (COGS) for a sales order line to the revenue that is
billed for that sales order line. Prior to this enhancement, The
Cost Processor defers the recognition of COGS for a sales order
issue transaction by placing the balance of the cost of the
shipment into a deferred COGS account and journal line type. 1) The
Cost Processor now transfers the balance from the deferred account
to the COGS account in the same proportion of revenue recognized
for an order line. Oracle Receivables publishes a business event
when the revenue recognition percentage changes. 1) If a sales
order shipment line does not get interfaced to Receivables, its
associated deferred COGS balance is transferred to COGS when it is
closed. Oracle Order Management will raise a business event to Cost
Management when the noninterfaced shipment line is closed. 1) RMAs
that reference a sales order shipment line with a deferred COGS
balance will credit that balance when the accounting for the RMA
receipt is performed. The credit will be apportioned between the
deferred and actual COGS balances to maintain the existing
revenue/COGS recognition percentage. 1)Revenue/COGS matching is
supported in the customer-facing operating unit for drop shipments
to customers. Intermediate (internal) operating units will not
defer interorg COGS or match it to the inter-org revenue.
1)Revenue/COGS matching is supported configured items.

allows users to customize the standard Oracle accounting entries.
As a result of Cost Managements uptake of this new architecture,
users can customize Receiving, Inventory and Work in Process
transactions. Accounting entries are generated in a manner
consistent with previous releases but are Users can control every
aspect of the subledger journal entries associated with a subledger
transaction. Users can define rules based on data drawn from
subledger transactions, controlling which types of journal lines
are created, how accounting flexfields are derived and how journal
entries are described.

The Accrual Reconciliation report and the associated Write-Off
process are enhanced to improve processing performance and feature
usability. The transaction data load process is run independently
from the Accrual Reconciliation report generation process. Data for
balanced accrual transactions are no longer stored. This
significantly reduces the volume of generated data increases
processing performance. 1) The Accrual Reconciliation Summary
Report allows users to view the accrual accounts with outstanding
balances. For each account the accrual balance by transaction type
is displayed. 2) The Payables and Purchase Order Accrual
Reconciliation Report allow users to view Payables and PO
transactions at the PO distribution and/or transaction level. At
the PO Three new accrual Write-Offs forms allow users to write-off
aged or erroneous accrual balances. The Payables and Purchase Order
Write-Off form displays accrual balances at the PO distribution

inter-organization transfers is now consistent with the template
used for perpetual cost methods. The template adds inter-org
Payables/Receivables, in-transit and accounting by cost group. The
periodic item cost is calculated after taking into account all cost
owned transactions rather than being calculated after each
transaction. This enhancement produces a more accurate periodic
item cost and minimizes the generation of variances. The Periodic

are now supported in periodic average costing organizations. The
Periodic Cost Estimations processor allows users to estimate EAM
work order costs based on an items periodic average cost. Periodic
average cost processes respect the WIP job final completion flag.
If the final completion flag is checked, all incurred costs will be
absorbed into the completion cost.

Users can optionally base the completion costs on the required
quantity defined on the jobs Bill of Material rather than the
actual quantity issued to the job. Metalink When the completion
cost is based on actual quantity, unrelieved scrap values are
absorbed into the completion cost. When the completion cost is
based on required quantity, unrelieved scrap values are absorbed
into the completion cost only when the final completion flag is
checked. Metalink
As-of Date 1) On-hand, Intransit, and Receiving valuation
reports have a new optional As-Of Date parameter. When the user
specifies an as-of date, the reports display valuation data up to
the specified As-Of Date. If no date is specified, the report
displays valuation data up to the Metalink Reports Changes 1) The

The period close process is enhanced to allow users to easily
identify the pending and uncosted transactions that prevent period
close. The existing Inventory Accounting Periods form now supports
drilldown to the associated transaction forms. This allows users to

Oracle XML Publisher technology can be easily customized to meet
user requirements. Oracle Cost Management adds its support to the
OPM (Oracle Process Manufacturing) Inventory convergence
initiative. In the past, Oracle process manufacturing customers
used OPMs Inventory Management module. With this release OPM
customers can migrate to Oracle Inventory for their inventory
management needs. Support for lot-based materials that have a fixed
usage regardless of the job size for discrete WIP jobs, OSFM
lot-based jobs and Flow Manufacturing. This feature provides a more
accurate valuation of assembly cost where fixed quantities of
materials are used for a job. 1) Users now have the flexibility to
control the value of component yield factors at WIP job level. The
transaction logic now considers pre-yield BOM quantity per assembly
rather than the quantity inflated by shrinkage. This enhancement
eliminates the generation of unrealizable decimal quantities in WIP
jobs.

1) Oracle Cost Management processes are enhanced to support the
new Ledger and Legal Entity architecture. In this new architecture,
Ledgers replace Set of Books. Each Operating Unit is associated
with a Primary Ledger. Multiple Legal Entities can be tied to a
Ledger through the accounting set up flow. The existing link
between Operating Unit and Legal Entity Multi-Org Access Control
enables companies that implement a Shared Services operating model
to efficiently process business transactions by allowing them to
access, process, and report on data for an unlimited number of
operating units within a single applications responsibility. This
increases the productivity of Shared Service Centers as users no

Rollup process is enhanced to optionally store a snapshot of the
Bill of Materials used. The snapshot is copied to an alternate Bill

Cost rollup:1) Oracle Cost Management now supports direct item
delivery of service line types to EAM work orders. There is however
no support for Outside Processing. i) EAM Direct Item Delivery of
PO Service Lines:- Oracle Cost Management now supports direct item
delivery of service line EAM work orders. There is however no
support for Outside Processing. ii) Install Base Convergence:- The
Cost Estimations process and the Cost processor are enhanced to
support the mapping between an EAM Asset and an IB Instance. iii)
EAM Budgeting and Forecasting Support:- In prior releases costs
calculated by the cost estimations process are stored on the basis
of maintenance cost buckets: Equipment Labor Material This method
of bucketing estimated charges does not provide visibility as to
the GL accounts being charged. The Cost Estimations process is
modified to specify the GL accounts that are setup to be charged.
This information can then be used for budgeting and forecasting
purposes. Oracle Cost Management now supports costing for
Chargeable Subcontracting. Chargeable Subcontracting is a concept
used in Japan, Korea and Taiwan with subcontract manufacturers. On
delivery of OSA items any difference between current standard cost
and OSA price is posted to a Chargeable Subcontracting Variance
account instead of a Purchase Price Variance account. Oracle Cost
Management adds support for the architectural changes introduced by
Oracle Payables in this release.The Period-End Accruals, Accrual
Reconciliation and Periodic Costing processes and the associated
reports are enhanced to support the new Payables architecture.
Oracle Cost Management adds support for the new Bonus During Move
transaction introduced by Oracle Shop Floor Management. The Bonus
transaction entered during a move is costed in the same manner as
an Update Quantity transaction. 1) The job close program and the
job close variance program are migrated from Pro*C to PL/SQL. 2)
This enhancement provides performance improvements but does not
change job close functionality.
