Integration Repository
The Oracle Integration Repository is a compilation of information about the service
endpoints exposed by the Oracle E-Business Suite of applications. It provides a
complete catalog of Oracle E-Business Suite's business service interfaces. The tool lets
users easily discover and deploy the appropriate business service interface for
integration with any system, application, or business partner.
The Oracle Integration Repository is shipped as part of the E-Business Suite. As your
instance is patched, the repository is automatically updated with content appropriate
for the precise revisions of interfaces in your environment.
Users who are granted the Integration Analyst role can navigate to the Oracle
Integration Repository through the Integration Repository responsibility. Users who
have the Integration Developer role or the Integration Administrator role can access the
Oracle Integration Repository through the Integrated SOA Gateway responsibility.
Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle E-Business Suite Data

Oracle STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle Data
Browser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle E-Business Suite data
unless otherwise instructed.
Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, and
maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such as
SQL*Plus to modify Oracle E-Business Suite data, you risk destroying the integrity of
your data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.
Because Oracle E-Business Suite tables are interrelated, any change you make using an
Oracle E-Business Suite form can update many tables at once. But when you modify
Oracle E-Business Suite data using anything other than Oracle E-Business Suite, you
may change a row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables.
If your tables get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous
x
information and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle E-Business Suite.
When you use Oracle E-Business Suite to modify your data, Oracle E-Business Suite
automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle E-Business Suite also keeps
track of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using
database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who
has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a
record of changes.

Project Manufacturing Flow

A contract cycle begins with a bid and proposal process by Sales and Engineering. This
process includes review of profit margins and actual status on similar projects,
calculation of a high-level project schedule to determine a rough-cut project duration,
engineering reviews with optional new product introduction, infinite or
constraint-based capacity simulation, procurement analysis for contract specific
out-sourcing and requests for supplier quotes. The final result is a bid.
After the customer awards the contract, you define the project work breakdown
structure and the budgeting and reporting requirements then submit for approval. The
work breakdown structure represents all project activities including tasks, sub-tasks,
work packages, activities, and milestones.
Project demand enters into the execution and planning system. The planning system
runs a single or multiple plans across the supply chain and optimizes as needed based
on constraints. Simulation of alternates provides the information required to determine
the optimal scenario. The system analyzes specific project exception messages at the
outcome of each planning run. It forwards the planning results to procurement and the
shop floor for execution. You can route drop shipped material directly to procurement
from order management, bypassing planning.
Shop floor execution uses discrete work orders, flow schedules, or a combination to
manufacture (sub)assemblies. Procurement uses either blanket releases or standard
purchase orders, based on the project specific supplier quotes, for procured material.
The system tracks all project specific material (hard pegged) separately in the system,
and permits borrowing or permanent transfers from one project to another. Also, you
can track project specific quality data and analyze defects and non-conformances.
During execution, the system collects direct and indirect actual costs by project. You can
analyze costs for a specific project or across multiple projects. Based on actual costs, you
can perform earned value analysis, progress billing, and revenue recognition. During
the execution phase the system collects quality data and analyzes it by project.
After the project is shipped and installed at the customer site, final billing,

reconciliation, and close-out execute.

Project Definition
To define a project work breakdown structure, you can use one of the following
methods:
• Define the project structure in a third party project management system and
transfer the structure into Oracle Projects. Use basic setup data from Oracle Projects,
such as project resources, project calendars, and project templates, directly in your
third party project management system. Depending on the project management
system, you need the Oracle Projects Connect or Oracle Projects Activity
Management Gateway product to accomplish this.
• Define the project structure directly in Oracle Projects.
• Define the project structure using the Seiban Number Wizard.
Before you release the project to collect manufacturing costs, define the project-related
manufacturing parameters for costing and planning purposes. For example, you need to
decide whether to allow netting of materials within a project group across multiple
projects or to track manufacturing costs separately by project or for a group of projects.
You can also use project attachments to enter project or contract specific documentation.

Overview of Projects and Tasks, Oracle Projects Fundamentals
Project Budgeting
To track costs against budgets, you can define your budgets in Oracle Projects. You
define budgets directly in Oracle Projects or import budgets from external systems.
Oracle Projects' main budgeting features are:
• Multiple Budget Versions You can use Oracle Projects to create multiple budget
versions that include all of the costs for your project, such as engineering costs, item
costs, manufacturing costs, and overheads. Having multiple budget versions
enables you to revise your estimate-to-complete many times during a project. Each
project can compare the current or baseline budget with earlier versions for
analytical reporting.

• Unlimited Budget Types You can create different types of budgets. You can create
cost budgets, revenue budgets, forecasted revenue budget, approved cost budget,
and more.
• Time Phased Budgeting You can create time periods or use existing calendars in
Oracle General Ledger or Oracle Projects to establish multiple budgeting periods.
• Budget Extensions You can use budget extensions to accommodate your

company's budgeting needs.
• Budget Baselining and Approval You can baseline a budget and use a
workflow-supported approval process for approving your budget.
Budgeting related documents, such as spreadsheets, can be included as budget

attachments.
Related Topics
Overview of Project Budgets, Oracle Projects User's Guide
Project Setup for Manufacturing

After your project structure and budgeting have been defined in Oracle Projects, you
need to define the Project Manufacturing parameters for your project. These include:
• Default WIP Accounting Class
• Cost Group
• Borrow Payback Variance Accounts
• Planning Group
• Task Auto-Assignment parameters
• Expenditure types if you selected the parameter Transfer to PA in the Project

Manufacturing Organization Parameters
• Project manufacturing costing information:

• Link project expenditure types to manufacturing cost elements and cost
sub-elements
• Link new manufacturing departments to new projects expenditure

organizations
• Define expenditure types for IPV, ERV, Freight, Tax, and Miscellaneous Invoice

Costs
• Define expenditure types for purchase price variance in a Standard Costing

organization and Direct Item in an Enterprise Asset Management organization
• Define borrow payback accounts

Project Contract Management

Project contract management supports contract management needs of project driven
organizations including: authoring of different types of contract documents, workflow
based contract administration and change management, contract funding, deliverable
tracking with ERP integration, contract costing, and contract billing.
The Deliverable Tracking System (DTS) is the center of Contract Execution and tracks
all execution activities related to a contract. The DTS integrates with other major
components of the Oracle e-Business Suite, including: Oracle Projects, Oracle Project
Manufacturing, Oracle Advanced Planning and Scheduling, Oracle Procurement, and
Oracle Shipping Execution. Oracle Project Manufacturing integration allows you to:
• Use Project MRP to plan your contract deliverables
• Collect costs against a contract through projects and tasks during execution
DTS is also used to track all contract activities such as planned receipts and shipments,
mailing of an initial engineering drawing or progress report submissions. You can also
view and track contract related information from other Oracle applications. Key
features in Oracle Project Contracts include:
• Contract document authoring
• Deliverable tracking
• Contract document change management
• Contract hold management
• Contract funding
• Contract billing methods
• Robust subcontracting

• Contract flow-down
• Role-based security

Project Sales Management

Project sales management activities include recording customer quotation documents,
project specifications, quotation and sales order information, and fulfillment.
Oracle Project Manufacturing supports:
• Project Quotations and Sales Orders Oracle Order Management enables you to
specify quotation and sales orders. A quotation can be copied easily to a sales order.
Quotation, and sales order lines can be linked to projects and project tasks.
• Project Return Material Authorization (RMA) Oracle Order Management enables

you to process Project RMAs using the line type category 'Return.' Examples of the
line types available are return for credit without receipt of goods, return for credit
with receipt of goods, and return for replacement.
• Project Assemble-To-Order (ATO) and Pick-To-Order (PTO) Oracle Project

Manufacturing enables you to use Oracle Configurator with Oracle Order
Management with propagation of project and task on the configured model,
options, and included items. For ATO, the Final Assembly Schedule process creates
a WIP Job with the configuration's project and task.
• Project Drop Shipments You can specify a project and task on a sales order line
and use drop shipment to automatically create a project purchase requisition.
Drop-shipped materials ship directly from supplier to customer.
• Project Fulfillment Oracle Order Management and Oracle Shipping Execution

support delivery-based shipping with user-definable picking rules for order
fulfillment. After manufacturing is complete, finished goods are picked
automatically from the project inventory upon pick release. You can also pick all
items for a project and task.
• Project Order Import If you use external systems to capture order information you
can use Order Import to import external sales orders or quotations, including
project and task references.

Related Topics

Project Manufacturing Planning

To drive project manufacturing planning, you must enter demand in the system. The
system supports three ways to enter demand:
• Forecasts You can enter a forecast and link a forecast entry to a project and task.
• Sales Orders You can enter a sales order and link a sales order line to a project and
task. You can use Order Import to import sales orders.
• Master Demand/Master Production Schedule You can enter a master schedule and
link a master schedule entry to a project and task. Forecasts and sales orders can be
sources for a master schedule.
After you enter demand in the system, you can start the planning cycle. You can
execute a planning cycle for a plan that spans one organization or an entire supply
chain.
You must be able to separate all sources of supply and demand by project, identify
components as shared or project specific, track existing inventories by project, and
provide visibility to all supply and demand associated with a project.
Oracle Project Manufacturing provides:
• Hard Pegging You can plan material requirements while respecting hard pegs on
all supply orders and generate planned orders with project/task references. Each
item can be hard or soft pegged, thereby enabling various pegging methods within
a bill of material. Hard pegging is also supported in a supply chain planning
scenario.
• Soft Pegging You can plan materials and soft peg them to the demand. Soft
pegging is also supported in a supply chain planning scenario.
• Group Netting You can net within a planning group (multiple projects) and you
can soft peg items to the projects within the project group.
• Common Supply Netting You can net excess common (non-project) supply to hard
pegged demand.
• Graphical Pegging to Project You can use the object navigator to view your
pegging information, such as project, task and sales order, graphically.

• Planner Workbench You can use the Planner Workbench to view project
exceptions, a project horizontal plan, supply and demand per project, and unit
number to simulate new or existing project demand, and to release planned orders
by project.
• Forecast by Project/Task You can link a project work breakdown structure to a

forecast entry and run the forecast demand through the planning system. This
enables you to plan long-term capacity and procurement for your projects.
• Master Schedule by Project/Task You can load the MDS/MPS from a project
forecast with project sales orders or manually link a project work breakdown
structure to a schedule entry. You can have project and non-project demand in one
schedule.
• Project Exception Messages The planning system generates project related

exception messages including: items allocated across projects and tasks, items with
excess inventory in a project or task, items with shortage in a project or task,
reschedule-in, reschedule-out, and cancellation. You can use the workflow-based
exception messages to define collaborative scenarios between internal and external
organizations.
• Single Planning Run for all Projects You can run a single plan for multiple projects
at once, and eliminate the need to run planning project by project.
• Project Planning Simulation You can enter new supply and demand entries for
new project and tasks or change existing supply and demand due dates directly in
the Planner Workbench. Online net-change simulation allows you to view the
results of your changes in minutes. This enables you to respond easily to scenarios
of fluctuating and unexpected demand or to project management system
rescheduling results.
• Multi-Organization/Multi-Plant and Supply Chain Projects You can consolidate

all costs for the products you manufacture for the same project in multiple plants in
Oracle Projects. You can use Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning to plan
projects across a supply chain with appropriate propagation of project and tasks on
internal orders and demand and supply entities.
• Constraint-Based Optimization You can use Oracle Advanced Supply Chain

Planning to optimize your project material and capacity plans using a variety of
constraints and objective functions.
• Borrow Payback Supply and Demand The planning engine recognizes borrow
payback supply and demand.

Project Manufacturing Execution

The planning cycle results in planned orders that are fed into the execution system:
• Internal orders driven by inter-company supply
• WIP Discrete Jobs for make items (Project Work In Process)
• Flow Schedules for make items (Project Work In Process)
• Purchase Requisitions or Blanket Releases for buy items (Project Procurement)
The execution system addresses the inventory, shop floor, and procurement activities.
Project manufacturing costs are collected during execution.
Project Work In Process

Oracle Project Manufacturing supports the following features for Project Work In
Process:
• Project WIP Jobs You can create WIP Jobs with project/task references. Project
Manufacturing supports standard and non-standard WIP Jobs. You can create
Standard Project WIP Jobs automatically and release them from the Planner
Workbench.
• Project Outside Processing You can use existing outside processing functionality to
support Project Outside Processing. The system transfers the project/task on the
work order once the outside processed purchase requisition generates.
• Project Repair Orders You can link non-standard WIP Jobs to a project / task to
capture project repair.
• Project Flow Schedules You can use flow schedules in a work order-less
production environment. Flow schedules can be created and released from the
Planner Workbench or Line Scheduling Workbench.
Project Procurement
Oracle Project Manufacturing supports the following features for Project Procurement:
• Project Requisitions You can create requisitions with project/task references. You
can define project requisitions for inventory and expense destination types and you
can implement project requisitions automatically from the Planner Workbench.

• Project Purchase Orders You can create purchase orders with project/task
references. You can define project purchase orders for inventory and expense
destination types.
• Project Blanket Releases You can create purchase blanket releases with project/task
references. You can implement project blanket releases automatically from the
Planner Workbench.
• Project RFQs You can create purchase Request For Quotations (RFQ) manually or
auto-create an RFQ from a requisition. You can request multiple quotes within one
vendor RFQ.
• Project Supplier Quotes You can create purchase vendor quotes manually or create
a quote from an RFQ.

Project Inventory
Tracking inventory by project and dealing with permanent and temporary transfers
from one project to another or from common inventory to project inventory is essential
for a project-based environment. Oracle Project Manufacturing supports:
• Project Inventory You can use project locators to segregate inventory by project.
Purchase order receipt locators validate automatically for project purchase orders.
You can reference existing project locators or dynamically create project locators
upon receipt. The issue, back-flush, and completion locators validate automatically
for project WIP jobs and associated material. Similar logic applies in processing
flow schedules using work order-less completions.
• Project Material Transactions You can use existing material transactions such as
Miscellaneous Issue/Receipt, Move Orders, PO Receipt, WIP Issue, WIP Return, and
WIP Completion.
• Permanent Project to Project Transfers You can use project transfer transactions to

transfer material from one project to another with appropriate transfer of inventory
value.
• Temporary Project to Project Transfers You can use borrow payback transactions
to borrow material from one project to another, and ensure payback against the
original value.
• Common-to-Project and Project-to-Common Transfers You can use project

transfer transactions to transfer material from common inventory to project
inventory and vice versa, with the appropriate transfer of inventory value.
• Project Mass Transfers You can use the mass transfer wizard to initiate the mass
transfer of material from one project to another based on criteria you define, with
the appropriate transfer of inventory value. The system generates notifications of
approval for the from and to project managers, if the project managers are different.
• Consigned Material from Supplier You can perform implicit and explicit
consumption of consigned items to demand/supply documents with project
references, with appropriate transfer of inventory value into a project.
• Project Warehouse Management You can enable Warehouse Management and

Project Manufacturing in the same organization. You can receive, move,
manufacture, pick and ship material owned by a project. You can leverage
warehouse resource management, warehouse configuration productivity
performance analysis, task scheduling, advanced pick methodologies, and value

Project Manufacturing Costing

During the execution phase, project-related costs can be collected in four ways:
• Import of costs from external systems directly into Oracle Projects' Transaction
Import.
• Entry of direct labor and expenses directly into Oracle Projects using time and

expense entry.
• Collection of manufacturing labor, material, and manufacturing overhead in Oracle

Cost Management as a result of Work In Process and Inventory transactions.
• Import of manufacturing costs from external systems using Oracle Manufacturing

Transaction Import.
For expense purchases, the invoice costs flow to a project through Oracle Payables. For
inventory purchases, the purchase costs flow to a project through Oracle Cost
Management upon receiving into destination. As soon as invoices are matched,
approved, and posted to the General Ledger, you can transfer the appropriate invoice
charges (IPV, ERV, Freight, Tax, and Miscellaneous) to Oracle Projects, using the
Invoice Charge Transfer Request.
For inter-company costs, the system transfers costs at cost group value (determined by
FOB point), either collapsed into the material element or with elemental details.
Oracle Project Manufacturing supports project costing with the following features:
• Cost Groups You can create cost groups and link cost groups to projects to identify
and separate costs by item and by project. Costs are tracked using perpetual
weighted average costing. You can use one cost group for multiple projects if you
want to establish a weighted average cost by item for a group of projects.
You can create cost groups and link cost groups to projects to identify the accounts
in a Standard Costing organization. You maintain standard costs at the organization
level.
You can create cost groups and link them to projects to identify layer costs by item
in a Last in First out (LIFO) or First in First out (FIFO) costing organization. Costs
are maintained in layers each with its own cost.
• Linking Project Expense Organizations to Manufacturing Departments You can

link project expense organizations to manufacturing departments to allow for
departmental cost visibility and analysis for a project.
• Common Project You can define a common project to collect cost for all common
material transactions into Oracle Projects. You can use standard tools such as
Expenditure Inquiry and Project Status Inquiry to analyze your common project,
view commitments and actuals, and compare common and project-specific costs.
• Linking Project Cost Elements To Manufacturing Cost Elements You can create
user-defined project cost elements (Oracle Projects expenditure types), and
manufacturing cost (sub)elements. You can map project cost elements into user
categories for analysis and reporting. Oracle Project Manufacturing enables you to
link manufacturing cost elements (labor, material, overhead, outside processing),
resources, and departments to project cost elements. This allows you to track all
costs within a project for the following sources: purchasing, project direct labor and

expenses, shop floor activity, or external systems.
• Manufacturing Cost Collector The Manufacturing Cost Collector enables you to

transfer manufacturing costs to Oracle Projects. The engine derives all required
information such as expenditure organization, expenditure date, and project cost
element, automatically. The system transfers all manufacturing costs to the Oracle
Project Transaction Import for project cost distribution. The Cost Collector also calls
the Task Auto Assignment Rules to assign tasks to costed transactions when you
run a project-only manufacturing scenario.
Oracle Projects supports costing with the following additional features to keep track of
project progress, actual-versus-planned budget, control of project purchase
commitments, and reporting:
• Project Status Inquiry Use this feature to research project facts. You can drill up
and down on the project work breakdown structure and obtain project summary
information, detailed transaction information. You can also obtain project
commitments, revenue, invoices, unbilled costs, backlog, and receivable
information. The project status inquiry extension enables you to pull project
information from any part of the database. You can export data in online queries to
a desktop spreadsheet and reporting tools, to meet the requirements of your
company.
• Project Comparison You can use Oracle Projects to compare baseline and current
project budgets.
• Project Status Reporting Oracle Projects supports a large number of project status
reports to analyze your project financial status.
• Project Expenditure Types You can create project cost elements (expenditure types)
and group these elements into categories.

Project Billing
Oracle Projects is the repository for all project costs. You can use these costs for earned
value analysis. The result of the earned value analysis can trigger project billing.
Within the Project Manufacturing solution, there are three ways to accomplish billing:
• Drive billing from Oracle Order Management using order types (workflow) that

interface to Oracle Receivables.
• Drive billing from Oracle Project Billing using billing schedules that interface to
Oracle Receivables.
• Use a combination of the first two methods. For example, you might drive project
billing from Oracle Project Billing and spare-part billing from Oracle Order
Management. If you use Oracle Shipping Execution to ship project-related
assemblies, but not to bill for them, use order types (workflow) that do not interface
to Oracle Receivables to avoid double billing.

Project Quality Management

You can implement Oracle Quality for managing project quality. Oracle Quality in
combination with Oracle Project Manufacturing supports:
• Project Quality Collection Elements You can use project and task as quality
collection elements.
• Specify Project on Quality Collection Plan You can specify a project on a quality
collection plan.
• Specify Project as a Collection Trigger You can specify a project as a trigger for a
quality collection plan.
• Specify Project as Criteria for Skip Lot and Sampling You can specify a project as
one of the criteria for Skip Lot and Sampling Inspections in Oracle Quality.
• Project Quality Data Collection You can use manual entry, or the Oracle Quality
Data Collection open interface to collect project and task related quality
information.
• Project Quality Analysis You can use project and task as selection criteria for
quality analysis.

Special Features
Oracle Project Manufacturing provides additional special features:
• Model/Unit Effectivity (Serial Effectivity) You can define unit effective items and
bills of materials, which allows you to implement product structure variations
driven by unit number effectivity as opposed to date effectivity. You can engineer,
sell, plan, produce, procure, ship, and track against a unit number. You can also use
Model/Unit Effectivity in a non-project based environment.
• Task Auto Assignment Workbench You can use the Task Auto Assignment
Workbench to define material, WIP material and resource rules for task allocation.
It supports scenarios that run the manufacturing side under project control. Task
Auto Assignment supports a myriad of rules to assign tasks dynamically to
project-only manufacturing transactions for more flexible costing scenarios. For
example, instead of allocating all costs for a work order to one task, you can
implement rules that allow certain resource cost to be allocated to one task, other
resource costs to another task, and material costs to be allocated to yet another task.
• Project Manufacturing Inquiry/Seiban InquiryThis provides a real-time look at

the project execution status in the Supply Chain. The Project Manufacturing/Seiban
Numbers details pages allow you to access information on Projects and Project
Manufacturing data such as: project sales orders, project procurement documents,
project discrete jobs with material and operation details, project cost activity, project
flow schedules, project cost group with history, project budgeting, project
expenditures, and project commitments. It also enables you to access details at the
project or task level.
• Manufacturing Project Definition This workflow-based process guides you

through the setup steps required to define a project manufacturing project. The
process keeps track of completion and can notify a user on steps to be done or
completed.
• Project Schedule Exceptions This workflow-based process assists you in

identifying project schedule inconsistencies. Inconsistencies are sent to project and
task managers. The process monitors overdue work and out of sync work orders,
procurement documents, and sales orders; as wells as out of sync planning entries.
• Seiban Number Wizard The Seiban Number Wizard guides you in the definition of
seiban numbers. Seiban numbers are unique numbers using Project Manufacturing
without Oracle Projects. For ETO-type seiban or lot-type seiban, you can define a
multi-level project structure in Oracle Projects, or a top-level project structure that
can be generated through the wizard.

Select a project which has been defined in Oracle Projects. If you do not use Oracle
Projects, you do not need to perform this setup.
Selecting a common project enables you to track the cost of manufacturing
transactions that are not associated with a specific project. This enables you to
budget for common costs and to view commitments and actual, and budgeted costs
for your common project on the standard Project Status Inquiry. You can set up a
different Common Project for each inventory organization.
When you run the Cost Collector, the Common Project value set up on the PJM
Organization Parameters window is assigned to all transactions related to common
items. The common cost group cost of each item is used for common transactions.
Tasks are assigned for common project transactions based on the Task Auto
Assignment Rules for the common project. See: Setup for Common Project in Task
Auto Assignment, page 5-14.
9. Select a Material task if you selected a common project.

calculations. You can use Oracle Projects Burden Schedules to apply overhead to

WIP Straight Time transactions.
See Work in Process Resource Employee Transactions, Oracle Cost Management
User's Guide.
3. Choose your GL Posting Option. The choices are Manufacturing and Projects. This
should be set to Projects if you want to use Oracle Projects as the single source for
posting all transactions (manufacturing and non manufacturing) to the General
Ledger. When you select the option to post the General Ledger in Oracle Projects,
you can use Projects Burden Schedules to apply overhead to Project Manufacturing
transactions. If you select this option and continue to apply overhead in
Manufacturing, the overhead amount will be imported into Projects as raw (not
burdened) cost.
See Applying Overhead Rate by Oracle Projects, Oracle Cost Management User's
Guide.
4. If you selected Projects as your GL Posting Option, you must select an Account
Option If you set this to Use AutoAccounting, All accounts are derived using the
accounting rules engine in Oracle Projects. Inventory transactions are transferred to
Projects as Inventory with No Accounts and WIP transactions are transferred as
WIP with No Accounts. If you set this option to Send Accounts to PA – Cost Group
and WIP Accounting Class valuation accounts are transferred to Projects. Inventory
transactions are transferred to Projects as Inventory with Accounts and WIP
transactions are transferred as WIP with Accounts.
5. Select your PJM Clearing Account. You must set an account as the PJM Clearing
account when using the AutoAccounting. The PJM clearing account is used for
balancing debit or credit when the user performs project transfer transactions.

Locators in Project Manufacturing
Locator Flexfield
Oracle Project Manufacturing reserves segment19 and segment20 of the Stock Locator
key flexfield to store the project and task numbers. You should not attempt to modify
these two segments.
If you are installing Oracle Project Manufacturing for the first time, the system
automatically enables segment19 and segment20 of the Stock Locator key flexfield when
you create the first inventory organization and check the Enable Project References
check box. You can then enable additional segments to reflect your physical stock
location layout.
If you are installing Oracle Project Manufacturing in an existing Oracle Applications
installation and currently use segment19 and segment20 of the Stock Locator key
flexfield, change the current flexfield schema and use other segments. The system does
not support automatic conversion.
Project Locator
A project locator is a locator with a project or project and task reference. It is also a
logical partition of a physical location. Project locators are used to track project hard
pegged material. Project inventory needs to be stocked in a project locator and needs to
be transacted in and out of a project locator. Since locators can be dynamically created,
it is not necessary to predefine project locators.
Common Locator
A common locator is a locator without a project or project and task reference. It is also a
real, physical location. Common locators are used to track common (soft pegged)
material.
Note: Although a project locator is a logical partition, the system still

regards it as a physical locator for physical and cycle counting.
Example
Project locators differ from common locators by the existence of values in the project
and task segments in the flexfield definition of the Locator. If the structure of the
physical location is Row/Rack/Bin, the structure of the Locator flexfield would be
Row/Rack/Bin/Project/Task. For example, the concatenated value for a common item in
Row 1, Rack 4, Bin 2 would be 1/4/2// while the concatenated value for a project item in
Row 1, Rack 4, Bin 2, Project C4501, Task 2.1 would be 1/4/2/C4501/2.1.
Use of Locator
Use project locators to track inventory by project. If an inventory item needs to be

identified by project, you need to turn Locator Control on for the item.
Since locators can be created dynamically (Locator Control = Dynamic Entry Allowed at
item level), you do not need to predefine all project locators. Oracle Project
Manufacturing provides defaulting and validation logic in order to keep the use of
project locators transparent.

Assigning Project Parameters

You need to associate a project number or a seiban number with a Planning Group, a
Cost Group, and a Default WIP Accounting Class.
To set up project parameters:

1. Navigate to the Project Parameters window.
2. Select the desired parameter option. The options are as follows:

• Project- Select this option to setup one project across all organizations.
• Organization- Select this option to setup multiple projects for one organization.
3. Optionally, check Do not ask me in the future, if you do not want this window to
appear again.
Note: Checking this box sets the profile option PJM: Parameter
Form View By Option
Project Definition 3-1

4. Choose OK.
Note: If you chose to set project parameters by organization instead

of project, the organization appears in the main heading, and
different projects appear in the tabbed regions of the window.
5. Enter the project or seiban number you want to associate with a planning group. If
you are updating an existing assignment, query the existing record and make the
necessary changes.
6. Select the desired project or organization.
7. Select a planning group if applicable.

If you plan material requirements by a group of projects, rather than by each
individual project, you need to define a planning group and to assign all the
projects to this planning group. If you plan material requirements only by a single
project, you do not need to associate the project with any planning group. You can
also associate a project to a single planning group.
For more information about planning groups. See: Defining Planning Group
Lookups, in Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP User's Guideand Oracle Supply Chain
Planning User's Guide..
8. Select a Cost Group.

When you enter a project, the Cost Group field is enabled. You must select a Cost

Group from the list of valid Cost Groups for a project.
Note: If you set project parameters by organization instead of

project, the organization appears in the main heading, and different
projects appear in the tabbed regions of the window.
The list of values includes the Common Cost Group and the user defined cost
groups. The list of user defined cost groups includes only those cost groups with
valid accounts and with Project selected in the Cost Group window. Weighted
average costing for Inventory and WIP is maintained at the Cost Group level.
Therefore, if you want to keep weighted average costing at the project level, you
must assign the project to its own Cost Group. See: Overview of Average Costing,
Oracle Cost Management User's Guide and Overview of Standard Costing, Oracle Cost
Management User's Guide.
9. Optionally enter a WIP Accounting Class.

You can choose any WIP accounting class associated with the selected cost group in
the WIP Accounting Classes for Cost Groups window in Cost Management.
When you create project jobs or complete work order-less schedules for a project,
the default WIP accounting class is defaulted if an accounting class, based on the
assembly item category set, cannot be found. You can override it, but only with
another accounting class assigned to the cost group. See: Associating WIP
Accounting Classes with Categories, Oracle Cost Management User's Guide .
Note: When you create a project WIP job either manually or

through MRP, the system checks if you assigned a default WIP
accounting class to this WIP job's item category and cost group in
the Default WIP Accounting Classes for Categories window. If you
have, the program uses this WIP accounting class for the job. If you
have not, the program uses the WIP accounting class you entered
for the project.
10. Enter the project effective from/to date if applicable.
You can setup effective dates for a project in an inventory organization. The project,
project-task and Project Parameter start/end dates are validated in various project
document definitions through the use of a Project Manufacturing API. The system
generates warnings when the exceptions are encountered during the definition of
the document or request. You can create extensions to this API to include business
specific rules.
11. Select the Invoice Transfer tab.

12. Enter an expenditure type for IPV.
This field is mandatory in a Project Manufacturing organization, if you selected the

Transfer to PA IPV option. You can use the default IPV expenditure type or modify it
to choose any one of expenditure types associated with expenditure type class
Inventory.
If a variance generates when approving an inventory or a shopfloor (outside
processing) related invoice, the Invoice Charge transfer process uses the IPV
expenditure type, IPV amount, IPV account, and the Expenditure Organization you
have defined to transfer the IPV amount for the project to Oracle Projects.
For outside processing, choose an expenditure type that is associated with the
expenditure type class of Work in Process.
13. Enter an expenditure type for ERV.

Transfer to PA ERV option. You can use the default ERV expenditure type or modify
it to choose any one of expenditure types that has been associated with the
expenditure type class Inventory.
If a variance generates when approving an inventory or a shopfloor (outside
processing) related invoice, the ERV transfer process uses the ERV expenditure
type, ERV amount, ERV account, and the Expenditure Organization you defined to
transfer the ERV amount for the project to Oracle Projects.

14. Enter an expenditure type for Freight.

Transfer to PA Freight option. You can use the default Freight expenditure type or
modify it and choose any one of expenditure types associated with the expenditure
type class Inventory.
If you use receipt based matching for your invoice, and freight is entered on the
distribution when approving an inventory or shopfloor (outside processing) related
invoice, the invoice charge transfer process uses the freight expenditure type
defined in the Project Parameters window. It also uses the freight amount and
freight account from Oracle Payables, and the expenditure organization from the
purchase order to transfer the freight amount for the project to Oracle Projects.
15. Enter an expenditure type for Tax.

Transfer to PA Tax option. You can use the tax expenditure type that has defaulted
from the PJM Org Parameter window or modify it and choose any one of
expenditure types associated with the expenditure type class Inventory.
The method you choose to match tax to your invoiced items determines which
expenditure type is assigned to the tax you enter on the Payables Invoice window.
You can allocate tax at the line match level or you can enter tax as an invoice
distribution line and manually allocate it to item distributions.
If you allocate tax at the match to line level as described below, tax entered on the
invoice is charged to the IPV expenditure type:
• You can select the option of matching the supplier invoice to the purchase order
or purchase order receipt on the shipments form of the purchase order. When
you enter the Payables invoice, you select the same matching method that you
chose on the purchase order.
• On the Match to Purchase Order window of Invoice Entry, you can check
the Allocate check box next to each matching line to allocate tax, freight,
and miscellaneous charges to the matched lines.
• Tax matched to a purchase order or receipt line on this form is designated

as an invoice price variance - the difference between the tax amount
allocated on the invoice and the tax entered on the purchase order line. In
Oracle Projects you see the Invoice Price Variance expenditure type on the
transaction for tax allocated on the invoice.
If you allocate tax at the invoice distribution line level as described below,
tax entered on the invoice is charged to the tax expenditure type:

• You can select the same matching method on the invoice as you selected on
the purchase, but do not check the Allocate check box.
• You can enter a new distribution line for tax on the Invoice Distributions
window and choose Allocate.
• You can manually allocate the tax to any of the item distribution lines.
Tax matched on this form is designated as a tax and is charged to the tax
expenditure type which you set up on the Project Parameters window.
16. Enter an expenditure type for Miscellaneous charge.

Transfer to PA Miscellaneous option. You can use the default Miscellaneous
expenditure type that has defaulted or modify it and choose any one of expenditure
types associated with the expenditure type class Inventory.
If a distribution generates for Tax when performing receipt based matching for an
inventory or shopfloor (outside processing) related invoice, the Invoice Charge
transfer process uses the ERV expenditure type, the miscellaneous amount and
account from invoice distributions, and the expenditure type from the purchase
order to transfer the miscellaneous amount for the project to Oracle Projects.
17. Select the Task AutoAssignment Tab.

18. Enter a Material Task if necessary.
19. Enter a Resource Task if necessary.
20. Enter a WIP Material task if necessary.
21. Select the Other Tab.

22. Enter a Purchase Price Variance (PPV) Default Expenditure Type. This field is
updateable only if you are in an organization that uses standard costs.
23. Enter a Direct Item Default Expenditure Type. This field is updateable only if you
are in an Enterprise Asset Management enabled organization.
24. Save your work.

Seiban Number Wizard

Oracle Project Manufacturing provides you with the capability to define a reference
number, and link demand and supply entities to this number in Oracle Order
Management, Oracle Purchasing, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP, Oracle Work In
Process, Oracle Inventory, and Oracle Quality. This reference number can be used to
represent the contract number, Seiban Number, or any identifier that needs to be listed
on the supply or demand entities.
When you install Oracle Project Manufacturing, you may choose to implement the
product with or without Oracle Projects. When you implement Oracle Project
Manufacturing without Oracle Projects, you track the manufacturing activities and
corresponding costs by Project. Tasks are not available, and you cannot define a Work

Breakdown Structure.
The Seiban Number Wizard enables you to define Seiban numbers, and to create or to
modify projects using top-level task structures. For example, use the Seiban Number

Project Manufacturing Validations

The following paragraphs contain project manufacturing validations. Types of
validations are as follows:
Common, page 4-1
Purchasing, page 4-2
Inventory, page 4-3
Work in Process, page 4-3
Shipping , page 4-6
Common Validation
The system validates the project and task segments of a locator based on the value of
the Project Control Level parameter you set up in Organization Parameter. The
following table describes the validation logic:
Project Manufacturing Validations 4-1

Project Control Level Project Segment Task Segment
Null Cannot enter any value. Cannot enter any value.
Project Optional. If Project is entered, Task is

optional. If Project is not
entered, Task cannot be
entered.
Task Optional. If Project is entered, Task is

mandatory. If Project is not
entered, Task cannot be
entered.
Validations in Purchasing
The following explains purchase order transactions, including deliveries, returns, and
adjustments.
Purchase Order Delivery Transaction

When you perform a Purchase Order Delivery transaction for a project purchase order,
the system defaults the project and task from the distribution line of the purchase order
to the receiving locator.
If you define Item Transaction Defaults for receiving locators for specific items in
Inventory set up (provided these are physical locators), the system concatenates the
default locator with the project and task references from the purchase order distribution
line when it is received into inventory.
If you update the project and task on the receiving locator, they must match the project
and task exactly on the distribution line of the purchase order.
Purchase Order Return Transaction

When you perform a Purchase Order Return transaction, the system defaults the project
and task from the purchase order distribution line to the from locator.
If you update the project and task segments of the from locator on a purchase order
return, they must match the project and task exactly on the purchase order distribution
line.
Purchase Order Adjustment Transaction

When you perform a Purchase Order Adjustment transaction, the system defaults the
project and task from the purchase order distribution line to the locator.

If you update the project and task segments of the locator on a purchase order
adjustment, they must match the project and task exactly on the purchase order
distribution line.
Note: You cannot use a project locator for all the above transactions if
the purchase order distribution does not have project and task.
Validations in Inventory
The system applies the Common Validation logic to the following transactions:
• Miscellaneous Issue
• Miscellaneous Receipt
• Subinventory Transfer
• Locator Transfer
• Interorganization Transfer (Direct)
• Internal Order Interorganization Transfer (Intransit)
• Cycle Count Adjustment
• Physical Count Adjustment
Validations in WIP
Validations performed in Work In Process include discrete job completion and
materials information.
Project Discrete Job Completion Locator

When you create a project discrete job (either manually or from the Planner
Workbench), the system defaults the project and task from the project discrete job to the
project and task segments of the completion locator. If you have assigned a completion
locator (common locator) to the routing, the system concatenates the common locator
segments with the project and task to create a project locator.
When you update the project and task on the Project Discrete Job, the system re-defaults
the project and task segments of the Completion Locator.
If you update the project and task segments of the Completion Locator, they must
match the project and task exactly on the Project Discrete Job header. They cannot be
null.

Project Discrete Job Completion Transaction
When you perform a Completion Transaction, the system defaults the Completion
Locator from the Project Discrete Job header.
If you update the project and task segments of the Completion Locator, they must
match the project and task exactly on the Project Discrete Job header. They cannot be
null.
Project Discrete Job Material Requirements

When you define a project discrete job for an item that has a bill of material, the bill is
copied to the project discrete job. If the components are hard pegged (their pegging
attribute is set to either Hard Pegging or End Assembly/Hard Pegging), then the system
defaults the project and task from the project discrete job header to their supply locator.
If you have assigned supply locators (common locator) on the bills of material, the
system concatenates the supply locators with the project and task to create a project
locator.
If you update the project and task on the project discrete job, the system re-defaults the
project and task segments of any hard pegged components.
If you update the project and task segments of the supply locator for any components of
a project discrete job, they must either match the project and task exactly on the project
discrete job or be null.
If the components are soft pegged, (their pegging attribute is set to either Soft Pegging or
End Assembly/Soft Pegging) the system does not default the project and task segments
to the supply locators. You can optionally override the default and assign the project
and task to the supply locator. The system validates the project and task against the
project and task from the project discrete job header.
Project Discrete Job Component Issue Transaction

The system validates the supply locator for a Component Issue Transaction for a project
discrete job. The supply locator must satisfy one of the following criteria:
• No project/task reference on the supply locator.
• The project and task on the supply locator must match the project and task exactly
on the project discrete job.
• Same project but different task, if you check the parameter Allow Cross Project Issues
in the PJM Organization Parameters window.
• A different project with the same planning group association but not necessarily the
same cost group as the project on the project discrete job if you check the parameter
Allow Cross Project Issues in the PJM Organization Parameters window.

Project Discrete Job Return Assembly to WIP Transaction
If you enter or update the project and task segments of the completion locator on a
Return Assembly to WIP Transaction, they must match the project and task exactly on
the project discrete job.
Project Discrete Job Component Return Transaction

If you enter or update the project and task segments of the supply locator on a
Component Return, they are validated and must satisfy one of the following criteria:
• No project/task reference on the supply locator.
• The project and task on the supply locator must exactly match the project and task
on the project discrete job.
• Same project but different task, if you check the Allow Cross Project Issues
parameter.
• A different project with the same planning group association but not necessarily the
same cost group as the project on the project discrete job, if you check the Allow
Cross Project Issues parameter.
Project Work Order-less Completion

When you perform a project work order-less completion, you must specify the
assembly, quantity, project, or project and task, and other information. If you have set
up a default completion locator on the routing, the system defaults it in the transaction
for the transaction. If you have not set up a default completion locator, you can specify
one for the transaction. When the transaction is saved, the system defaults the project
and task from the transaction to the completion locator. The project and task
information on the transaction and the locator segments project and task must match.
When you perform a work order-less completion against a project flow schedule, the
system defaults the project and task information from the flow schedule into the project
and task fields and into the project and task segments in the locator. If you enter or
update the project and task segments of the locator on the Work order-less completion
transaction, they must match the project and task exactly on the project flow schedule
Work order-less completion automatically backflushes all operation pull, assembly pull,
and push components. The system builds the supply locators for the components by
concatenating the supply locator from the item and the project or project and task you
specify.
Note: You cannot use a project locator as completion locator or supply

locator for all the above transactions against a non-project (common)
discrete job.

Validations in Shipping
Validations in shipping include, validating pick release.
Pick Release
When you perform Pick Release for a project sales order, the system ensures that you
can only pick release from the project locators that have the same project and task as the
sales order line, unless you are in a Warehouse Management organization.
When you select Allow Cross Project Pickwave Allocation in the Project Parameters
page, pick release is allowed from project locators that have different project and tasks
for the sales order. While the Rule Engine takes precedence, the Allow Cross Project
Pickwave Allocation check box has to be enabled for the Rule Engine to work with
allocation from different projects and tasks.
Note: The Allow Cross Project Pickwave Allocation check box in the
Project Parameters page does not control cross project allocation in
non-WMS Organizations.

Overview of Task Auto Assignment

Task Auto Assignment enables you to manage manufacturing activities by project and
to collect manufacturing costs by tasks. Task Auto Assignment provides a flexible way
to specify how to allocate material and resource costs to different tasks within a project.
For example, when you establish the work breakdown structure for a project, you might
decide to track certain procured items by a specific task and others by a different task.
You might also decide to designate different tasks for different manufacturing
departments to track specific resource and overhead costs.
Additionally, a one-time setup feature, FlexSequence, enables you to change the seeded
hierarchy of the attributes in the Task Auto Assignment window.
Related Topics

Setup for Common Project in Task Auto Assignment, page 5-14
Task Auto Assignment Process

After Inventory and WIP transactions are costed and before they are cost collected, Task
Auto Assignment assigns a task to each transaction based on rules defined in the Task
Auto Assignment Rules window. When the transaction costs are transferred to Oracle
Projects, costs are collected under the desired task. The Task Cost Collector calls Auto
Assignment Rules during cost transfer.

Task Auto Assignment Rules Window

The Task Auto Assignment Rules window enables you to define task assignment rules
for material, resource, and WIP material transactions for a given organization. The
choices are as follows:
• Material Task Assignments- The system uses this information to assign a task
number for inventory and material overhead transactions. You can select any
combination of the following:
• Item
• Purchase Order Number
• Item Category
• Procured
• Resource Task Assignments- The system uses this information to assign a task
number for WIP resource transactions. You can select any combination of the
following:
• Department
• Operation
• Assembly Item
• WIP prefix
• WIP Material Assignments- The system uses this information to assign a task
number for WIP Material Transactions such as WIP Materiel Issue, or WIP Material
Completion. You can select any combination of the following:
• Component

• Assembly
• Category
• Subinventory
• WIP Prefix
• Department
• Operation
• Transaction type of issue or completion
Defining Material Task Assignment

The Material Task Assignment tab enables you to associate a task with an item,
purchase order number, item category, subinventory, and procured flag. Task Auto
Assignment examines these factors and finds a rule that matches the material
transaction. It then assigns a task to the transaction. Material transactions include
miscellaneous receipt, miscellaneous issue, project transfer, purchase order receipt,
purchase order return, WIP material issue, WIP material return, and WIP completion.
If more than one rule matches the values of these attributes, Task Auto Assignment
looks for the rule that corresponds to the highest priority attribute. Attributes decrease
in priority from left to right. For example, suppose you have defined two rules for
project 1 in your Los Angeles organization. Both rules contain an Item Number A, but
one rule is based on a procure flag and the other on a subinventory name.
Task Item P.O. Number PO Flag Category Subinventor

y
T1 A X
T2 A Stores
When you deliver a purchase order for item A into subinventory Stores, Task Auto
Assignment matches the transaction with the first rule and assigns task T1 to the
transaction. It picks the first rule, even though both contain matching fields, because the
attribute procure flag has been assigned a higher priority than the attribute
subinventory. The system uses the second rule when a project transfer is done.
To assign tasks to material transactions:

1. Navigate to the Material tab in the Task Auto Assignment Rules window.

3. Select an Organization.
The LOV includes only organizations that have the project control level set to
Project and Project Cost Collection enabled for that inventory organization.
4. Select a Task Number.

This number must correspond to a task defined in Oracle Projects.
5. Optionally, enter a value for one or more of the following fields:

• PO Number- This is the purchase order number defined in Oracle Purchasing.
The LOV for this field shows only purchase order numbers with no receipts.
• Item Number- This number refers to the item number defined in Oracle
Inventory.
• Category- This is the Inventory Category of the item.
• Subinventory- This is the destination subinventory used in a transaction.
• PO Flag- This value can be set to Yes or null. If set to Yes, the system
assigns cost for procured items to the corresponding task.
Note: You cannot enter values in both the Item Number

field and the Category field for the same rule since you
associate only one Inventory Category to an item. You
cannot enter values in both the Procured field and the P.O.
Number field for the same rule.
6. Save your work.
Resource Task Assignment

The Resource Task Assignment tab enables you to associate a task with an operation,
WIP prefix, assembly, and department. For example, you might use different prefixes
for different types of work orders. Regular work orders may have a prefix of Wxxx,
while rework orders have the prefix RWxxx. Task Auto Assignment examines the
values entered in these fields and finds a rule that matches a resource transaction. It
then assigns the task to the resource transaction.
If more than one rule matches the transaction, Task Auto Assignment looks for the rule
that corresponds to the highest-priority attribute. Attributes decrease in priority from
left to right. For example, suppose you have defined two rules for project 1 in your Los
Angeles organization. Both rules contain an operation code Final Inspection, but one
rule is based on a WIP prefix and the other on a department code.
Task Operation Code WIP Prefix Assembly Department

Code
T1 Final Inspection WIP
T2 Final Inspection AS2
When you perform a resource transaction for WIP2305 in the Final Inspection operation
in the AS2 department, Task Auto Assignment matches the transaction with the first
rule and assigns task T1 to the transaction. The reason it picks the first rule, even
though both contain matching fields, is that WIP prefix has a higher priority than
Department Code.
To assign WIP labor and overhead tasks:

1. Navigate to the Task Auto Assignment Rules window.
2. Select the Resource tab.


This number corresponds to a task defined in Oracle Projects.
5. Optionally, select a value for one or more of the following fields:

• Operation- A specific standard operation associated with the task.
• WIP Prefix- This enables you to assign specific tasks based on WIP Prefix.
Only non-released jobs show in the LOV. You can also enter a job number
created in Oracle Work in Process.
• Assembly- If you want to assign the task to a particular assembly, enter the
assembly item number in this field.
• Department- The department associated with the task.
6. Save your work.
WIP Material Task Assignment

The WIP Material tasks assignment tab enables you to enter rules for assigning tasks to
WIP Material transactions for a given project and organization. This allows you so
associate a task with a component, assembly, subinventory, WIP Prefix and transaction

type of issues or completion. If you do not setup WIP material rules, the system defaults
to basic material rules.
To assign tasks to project manufacturing transactions:

1. Navigate to the Task Auto Assignment Rules window.
2. Select the WIP Material Tab.

This number corresponds to a task defined in Oracle Projects.
5. Optionally, select a value for one or more of the following fields:

• Component- A component item associated with the assembly item.
• Transaction Type- Select a transaction type of Issue or Completion. Issue

transactions are component issues and returns, and negative component issues
and returns. Completion transactions are assembly completions and returns. If
you select a transaction type of completion, the Component, Standard
Operation, and Department fields are disabled.
• Operation- The specific standard operation associated with the task.
• WIP Prefix- This enables you to assign specific tasks based on WIP Prefix. Only

non-released jobs show in the LOV. You can also enter a job number created in
Oracle Work in Process.
• Assembly- If you want to assign the task to a particular assembly, enter the
assembly item number in this field.
• Department- This department associated with the task.
• Category- This is the Inventory Category of the transacted item. If you enter a
category for the item, you cannot enter a Component item, or an assembly item.
• Subinventory- This is the destination subinventory for the transacted item.

Copy Task Auto Assignment Rules

If two projects contain a similar task structure, you can copy Task Auto Assignment
Rules from one project to another.
To copy task auto assignment rules:

1. Navigate to the Copy Rules window.

2. Select the desired Copy Rules For option from the drop down menu. Choices are as
follows:
• Current Organization- Copies the rules to the project for the current
organization.
• All Organizations- Copies the rules to the project for all organizations.
3. Enter the project number from which to copy the Task Auto Assignment Rules.
4. Select the desired Copy Option. Choices are as follows:

• Merge- Combines the rules for the two projects.
• Replace- Replaces the current rules with the copied rules.
5. Select the desired Match Option from the drop down list. The choices are as follows:
• Use Default Task-If the task structures for the project are not identical, the
system uses the default task of the current project to copy a rule.
• Skip Rule- If the task structures for the project are not identical, the system
does not copy the rule.
6. Choose Copy to copy the rules to the current project.

Setup for Common Project in Task Auto Assignment

You can optionally set up a common project to hold the cost of manufacturing
transactions that are not associated with a specific project. This enables you to budget
for common costs and view commitments, actual and budgeted cost for your common
project on the standard Project Status Inquiry.
You can assign a common project if Cost Collection is enabled for the inventory
organization and Project Reference Enabled check box is checked. You can set up a
different common project for each inventory organization. You specify the common
project number on the PJM Organization Parameters window.
Task numbers for the common project are entered n the PJM Organization Parameters
window for an inventory organization. Default rules for the Common Project are
derived from the values entered in the PJM Organization Parameters and available in
the Task Auto Assignment Rules window. When you run the Cost Collector, the
common project is assigned to all transactions related to common items and the task
number are assigned based on the rules set up in the Task Auto Assignment Rules
window.
For example, in Inventory Organization Los Angeles:
Common project in the PJM Organization Parameter = P2-Common
Task Auto Assignment Rules set up are as follows:
Task PO Number PO Flag Item Category Subinventory
3.0
The rule above results in all material transactions for common items to be assigned to
task 3.
Task Operation WIP Prefix Assembly Department
2.0
The rule above results in all resource transactions for common items to be assigned to

task 2.
When you perform a receiving transaction for a common (non-project) purchase order,
and run the Cost Collector, the material transaction are assigned the project
P2-Common and the task 3.0 based on the above setup.
Task Comp. Txn Op. WIP Dept Cat. Subinv Assem

Type Prefix
1.0
The rule above results in all WIP Material transactions for common items to be assigned
to task 2.

• Model/Unit Number Effectivity Example
• Generating Model/Unit Numbers
• Maintaining Model/Unit Numbers
Overview of Model/Unit Number Effectivity

You can control the effectivity of changes to bills of material and routings with
model/unit number effectivity. When you specify a model/unit number as the
effectivity, you can enter a particular change for a specific deliverable end item. The
change can be effective for that item and all subsequently produced items, for only one
model/unit number of the product family, or for a contiguous block of model/unit
numbers. This technique does not use date to control effectivity and therefore provides
a convenient way to specify engineering changes for products requiring a long lead
time. This change can occur at any level in the bill of material structure of the end item.
Model/unit effectivity provides many versions of the same end item part number. A
model/unit number consists of the alphanumeric prefix for the model/unit number of
the end item followed by the specific item number.
Note: Model/unit numbers are unique across organizations.
Note: If you want to issue material across unit numbers, you must
select the Allow Cross Unit Number Issues parameter in the Project
Manufacturing Parameters window.

Model/Unit Effectivity, Oracle Project Manufacturing Implementation Guide
Model/Unit Number Effectivity Example

The following figure demonstrates the use of model/unit effectivity to define item
configurations. In the following figures, shaded boxes for items F-90 Jet 10-101, Exhaust
Nozzle 20-101, Control System 30-101, and Fan Frame 30-103 represent a model/unit
effective item. All other items are date effective.
You can define components of a model/unit effective item to be effective for a single
model/unit number (for example, Fan Casing1 40-301), or defined to be effective for a
range of model/unit numbers (for example, Fan Casing2 40-302)
Note the following in the above bill of material definition:
1. Model/unit effective items can have date effective items or other model/unit
effective items as components. For example, F-90 Jet (10-101), has both date effective
(20-102 and 20-103) and model/unit effective (20-101) items as its components.
2. All components in the bill of a model/unit effective item must be effective for a
single model/unit number or for a range of model/unit numbers. This is also true
for date effective components of model/unit effective assemblies. For example, even

though Core (20-102) is a date effective item, you must specify a model/unit number
when the item appears on the bill of a model/unit effective parent, F-90 Jet (10-101).
Although components for a (sub)assembly could be comprised of date effective
items, you would still need to define their unit effectivity if the (sub)assembly is
unit effective.
3. Bills for date effective assemblies cannot have unit effective components and you
cannot enter model/unit effectivity on these bills. For example, Rotor Assembly
(40-303) is a date effective component in the bill of model/unit effective item Fan

Overview of Inventory Transfers

Inventory Transfer enables parts to be moved between projects and manages the
replenishment accounting. The transaction is recorded and repayment made to the
lending project when the borrowing project receives a replenishment order. The
original cost of the material is transferred to the lending project, and the borrowing
project absorbs the difference in cost.
You can:
• Determine project inventory shortages and surpluses.
• Record borrow transaction.
• View borrow/payback related exception messages while planning your items.
• Manage inter-project loan balances.
• Implement orders (purchase orders or WIP jobs) to fulfill payback demand.
• Optionally view borrow/payback transactions using the dedicated transaction

types.
• View outstanding loan summary balances and detail borrow/payback transactions.
Inventory Transfers 7-1

• Locate project on-hand to payback.
• Record payback transaction.
• Reschedule payback
• Permanently transfer all items from one project to another project.

Recording Borrow/Payback Transactions

Borrow/Payback lets you transfer material between projects within your current
organization. Borrow/Payback transactions apply to temporary project-to-project
transfers. For additional information, see: Viewing Material Transactions, Oracle
Inventory User's Guide. When you enter a payback transaction, the system automatically
allocates the payback transaction to borrow transactions using a FIFO algorithm.
To enter a borrow/payback transaction:

1. Navigate to the Project Transfer window.

2. Enter the date and time of entry for the transaction.
The date you enter is controlled by the INV:Transaction Date Validation profile
option. See Oracle Inventory Profile Options, Oracle Inventory User's Guide .
3. Select the desired transaction type. The available choices are as follows:
• Project Borrow- Borrows items from a project
• Project Payback- Payback borrowed items to a project
• Project Transfer- Transfer Items to another project
4. Optionally, enter the source of the transaction type.
5. Optionally, indicate if you want inventory information to be defaulted from the

serial number.
6. Choose Transaction Lines in the Project Transfer window.

7. Enter an inventory item to transfer. If you choose to default inventory information
from the serial number, enter a serial number.
8. Optionally, enter the revision for the item. You must enter a value here if the item is
under revision control.
9. Enter the subinventory to which to transfer material. Enter the same subinventory
in the Subinventory and To Subinv fields to transfer material between locators.
10. Enter the locator to which to transfer the item. In the Project Manufacturing
environment, the project and task are stored as segments in the locator flexfield.
11. Optionally, enter a lot number for the item. If you want to enter multiple lot
numbers, complete the remaining steps, then choose the Lot/Serial button to display
the Lot Entry window.
12. Select a unit of measure. This can be the primary unit of measure (the default) or
any valid alternate unit of measure.
If you enter an alternate unit of measure, Oracle Inventory issues the quantity you
specify in this unit of measure. Oracle Inventory also converts the quantity to the
primary unit of measure so that it can correctly update the on-hand quantity.
13. Enter the quantity of the inventory item to transfer, based on the unit of measure
you specified. If the item is under dual unit of measure control, the secondary unit
of measure and the secondary quantity populate automatically in the Secondary
UOM and Secondary Quantity fields.

14. Optionally, enter a reason code for the transaction. For example, you can use reason
codes to allow you to mark exceptional charges to support a quality data collection
and reporting system.
15. Optionally, enter up to 240 characters of free text that describes the transaction.
16. Select the Scheduled Payback Date. This field is mandatory for transfer type
borrow.

Payback Supply and Demand

Two order types exist in Project MRP to distinguish demand and supply resulting from
a borrow/payback transaction in Project Manufacturing. Planning recognizes a
scheduled project payback transaction as a supply for the lending project and a demand
for the borrowing project. The scheduled payback date is used as the supply date for
the lending project and demand date for the borrowing project. The two order types
are:
1. Payback Demand
2. Payback Supply
You can use these order types to search for borrow/payback demand/supply. You can
also see these order types on the planner workbench. The following example illustrates
how payback demand and payback supply are treated in a plan.
If you want to view the payback demand and payback supply on the horizontal
material plan, check the Payback Demand and Payback Supply check boxes under
preferences.
See Reviewing the Horizontal Plan, in Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP User's Guide and
Oracle Supply Chain User's Guide.

Plan Options
Reservation Level: Project Task Hard Pegging Level: Project Task
On performing the following borrow transactions for Item SB-1:
Item Quantity Lending Project Borrowing Payback Date

Project
SB-1 60 P1,T1 P2,T2 Period 1
SB-1 50 P3,T3 P4,T4 Period 3
The results of running MRP with the above transactions along with some additional
MDS demands is shown below. In the example below, the demand for 80 (P1,T1),
100(P3, T3) and 150 (P2,T2) are MDS demands. The example assumes a zero lead time
for the item.
SB-1 MRP Planned Period 1 Period 2 Period 3
Demand 80 (P1,T1) 150 (P2,T2)
60 (P2,T2) Payback 50 (P4,T4) Payback

demand demand
Scheduled Receipts 60 (P1,T1) Payback 50 (P3,T3) Payback

supply supply
Planned Orders 20 (P1,T1) 100 (P2,T2)
60 (P2,T2) 50 (P4,T4)
Since the borrowed quantity of 60 is scheduled to be paid back in period 1, a payback

demand is created for project P2, T2. This also results in a corresponding payback
supply for project P1, T1. Similarly the second borrow/payback transaction for item
SB-1 results in payback demand for 50(P4, T4) and payback supply for 50(P3, T3) in
period 3.
Notice that the planned orders carry the project and task references of the borrowing
project. Also, the payback supply is treated as firm and MRP does not suggest any
reschedules or cancellations for the payback supply.
Costing of Borrow Transactions

The system costs borrow transactions in the same manner as a regular transfer from the

lending project to the borrowing project. If the lending project and the borrowing
project belong to the same cost group, or if the borrow transaction is between two tasks
within the same project, the system does not perform average cost recalculation because
the transferred item remains in the same cost group.
Costing of Payback Transactions

For the borrowing project, the system decrements the on-hand quantity by the payback
quantity and credits the borrowing cost group inventory valuation by the payback
quantity extended by the current average cost of the payback item. The system records
any difference between the current average cost and the original borrow transaction as
a variance.
For the lending project, the system increases on-hand quantity by the payback quantity
and debits the lending cost group inventory valuation by the payback quantity
extended by the original borrowing cost. The average cost of the payback item is
re-averaged based on the new aggregate inventory valuation for the item and the
current on-hand quantity.
In the example of a borrow/payback transaction shown in the table below, Project B is
the borrowing project and Project L is the lending project. If a payback transaction was
allocated to multiple borrow transactions, the increase in inventory valuation for the
lending project is the sum of the allocated payback quantity extended by the original
borrowing cost for each borrow transaction.

If the borrowing project and the lending project belong to the same cost group, or if the
payback transaction is between two tasks within the same project, the average cost in
the borrowing project is not recalculated because the transfer item remains in the same
cost group, and no variance is recorded.

The payback transaction results in the reduction of the cost group cost of the item from
$11.67 to $11.60. This reduction is caused by re-averaging at the borrow cost, with the
difference of $1.67 (24 items @ $.07) charged to the payback variance account.
Posting of Borrow / Payback Variance to Projects

You can define a new Borrow/Payback variance account at the cost group level. The
difference between the current average cost and the original borrowing cost posts to the
new account for the borrowing project cost group.
In addition, the variance amount is posted to Oracle Projects against the borrowing
project as a material expenditure.

You can use OA Personalization to customize the columns displayed on Project
Manufacturing Inquiry. You can change/customize column prompts and display
sequences also.
Note: Check with the system administrator for more information

on changing/customizing columns
The PJM Inquiry utilizes the views which were designed for Oracle Projects
Discoverer Workbooks. All amount columns are from the
PA_RPT_PRJ_SUMMARY view. Project attributes are from the
PA_PROJECTS_ALL table.
All amounts are based on the current Projects reporting period. Although this
period is not shown on the PJM Inquiry, the amounts are based on the most recent
summarization of the current reporting period.
Note that the Expenditure Drill may not foot with the project summary amounts
due to the fact that the Expenditure Drill contains all expenditure items, including
those that may not be summarized.
Cost Activity
The Cost Activity Workbench summarizes manufacturing costs by element according to
task or project. It provides a tool for summarizing manufacturing costs for a project to
facilitate reconciliation with cost in Oracle Projects. Using this Workbench, you can see
project totals at the cost element level for on-hand inventory, work-in-process, and sales
order issues as well as project and cost group variances and standard and average cost
update amounts. You can access details that comprise the totals displayed on the
Workbench. For example, you can see a listing of WIP jobs that comprise the WIP
Value, items that comprise the onhand value, sales orders that comprise the sales order
issues, and purchase orders that comprise the purchase price variance. Note that sales
order issues are added back into the total on the Workbench to reflect total incurred
manufacturing cost (not inventory balance) to match the cost held in Oracle Projects.
Cost Group level variances, such as Average and Standard Cost Updates, are not
passed to Oracle Projects. These adjustments are included in a separate section of the
Workbench for easy identification in reconciling cost between Manufacturing and
Oracle Projects.
SeeViewing Project Cost Activities, page 8-20

Viewing Project Cost Activities
To view project cost activity:

1. Select Cost Activities from the list on the Project/Seiban Numbers details page.
The Cost Activity workbench displays the cost accounts for the project. You can
view the details for each cost source. The displayed information is as follows:
• Cost Source-The costing source such as the WIP Value Summary, WIP
Variance, Purchase Price Variance, Sales Order Issues, Project Level Variances,
and Onhand Value. Select a source summary, you can see the individual details
such as item value.
• Material- The raw material/component cost at the lowest level of the bill of
material determined from the unit cost of the component item
• Material Overhead-The overhead cost of material, calculated as a percentage of

the total cost, or as a fixed charge per item, lot, or activity. You can use material
overhead for any costs attributed to direct material costs. If you use Work in
Process, you can also apply material overhead at the assembly level using a
variety of allocation charge methods.
• Resource- Direct costs, such as people (labor), machines, space, or

miscellaneous charges, required to manufacture products. Resources can be
calculated as the standard resource rate times the standard units on the routing,
per operation, or as a fixed charge per item or lot passing through an operation

• Outside Processing-This is the cost of outside processing purchased from a
supplier. Outside processing may be a fixed charge per item or lot processed, a
fixed amount per outside processing resource unit, or the standard resource
rate times the standard units on the routing operation. To implement outside
processing costs, you must define a routing operation, and use an outside
processing resource.
• Overhead- The overhead cost of resource and outside processing, calculated as

a percentage of the resource or outside processing cost, as a fixed amount per
resource unit, or as a fixed charge per item or lot passing through an operation.
Overhead is used as a means to allocate department costs or activities. For
example, you can define multiple overhead sub-elements to cover both fixed
and variable overhead, each with its own rate. You can assign multiple
overhead sub-elements to a single department, and vice versa.
• Total-The total of the cost elements for the cost source.

Transfer of Invoice Charges

• Transfer of Invoice Charges Overview
• Define Expenditure Types for Invoice Charges
Transfer of Invoice Charges Overview

This process enables you to transfer Invoice Price Variances (IPV), Exchange Rate
Variances (ERV), Tax Rate Variances (TRV), and other special charges including freight,
tax and miscellaneous costs for invoices matched to project PO distributions or receipts
with a destination of Inventory or Shop Floor. The amounts are transferred to Oracle
Projects as project expenditures.
The invoice amount for a purchased inventory item may not match the purchase order
cost because of a difference in item price, a change in the exchange rate for items
purchased in a currency other than the functional currency of the Set of Books, or
additional charges such as freight, tax, and other miscellaneous charges.
You can recognize actual paid invoice cost for your purchased inventory items in Oracle
Projects. You can transfer any difference between the AP invoice amount and the PO
amount for project and common project inventory items to Oracle Projects.
Define Expenditure Types for Invoice Charges

The process uses the different expenditure types (IPV, ERV, Freight, Tax, and
Miscellaneous Charges) held in the Project Parameters window for each project. Default
expenditure types specified in the PJM Organization Parameters window are used for
common project related invoices. If you do not check the Transfer to PA checkbox in the
PJM Organization Parameters window for a particular invoice charge type, the transfer
program assumes you do not wish to transfer any invoice charges for that charge type.
Transfer of Invoice Charges 9-1

To transfer invoice chargers:
1. Match the invoice to project purchase orders or receipts. See: Entering Purchase
Order Matched Invoices,
2. Allocate tax, freight, and miscellaneous charges. You can allocate these charges to
multiple projects if the purchase order has multiple distributions to more than one
project.
• You can remove holds, if any.
3. Validate the invoice.

• Perform 'Create Accounting'.
• View the accounting entries to ensure Create Accounting status is set as Yes to
transfer variances from Accounts Payable to Oracle Projects.
4. Post the invoice to the General Ledger using the Payables Accounting Process. The
transfer to GL can be run as a separate process or as a part of the Payables
Accounting Process.
5. Once the invoice has been accounted, submit the concurrent program Transfer
Project Invoice Charges. See:Transfer Project Invoice Charges Request, page 10-12 .
6. If you have chosen not to submit the PA Transaction Import from the Transfer
Project Invoice Charges program, submit the Transaction Import to PA concurrent
program.
If you are submitting the PA transaction import as a separate process, run the
request for the source = Inventory to import the invoice charges to PA.
Use Review Transactions window to verify the data that has been transferred to
Oracle Projects and resolved any problems that the Transaction Import program has
reported.
7. Optionally, run a process that adds the invoice charges to the on-hand value of
items in the project cost group to balance your inventory cost to the cost held in
Oracle Projects. For additional information, see: Project Manufacturing Costing,
Oracle Cost Management User's Guide.
Receipt Adjustments
The invoice charge transfer process does not transfer any receipt adjustments made
after the invoice has been matched to a receipt.

Non-Recoverable Tax
Only non-recoverable (VAT) tax is picked and transferred to PA.
Transfer of Project Inventory Items

You can transfer an item from one project to another at the current average cost of
the item in the sending project cost group. If you previously transferred invoice
charges to Oracle Projects for the sending project item prior to making the project
cost transfer to another project, the additional invoice charges does not
automatically transfer to the receiving project. You should run the Average Cost
Update - Transfer Invoice Variance process to update the cost of the item in the
sending project cost group prior to transferring the item to another project. An
example appears below.
PO cost of Qty 1 of Item X in Project S Cost Group = $10
Invoice Cost of Item X for Project S = $12
You run the process to transfer Invoice Charge of $2 to Oracle Projects for Item X,
but you do not run Average Cost Update - Transfer Invoice Variance
You transfer Qty 1 of Item X from Project S to Project R @ $10 (average cost in
Project S cost group)
Project S in Oracle Projects has the following expenditures:
$10 - PO Cost of Item X
$2 - Invoice Charge for Item X
($10) - Project Cost Transfer of Item X to Project R
Result $2 Invoice Charge for Item X remains on Project S after item is transferred. If
you had run Average Cost Update - Transfer Invoice Variance for Item X in Project
S Cost Group prior to making project cost transfer, Item X would have been
transferred at $12 and no cost would remain in Oracle Projects for Item X in Project
S.

Overview of Project Manufacturing Workflows

Oracle Project Manufacturing uses Oracle Workflow technology to provide guided
walk-throughs of all steps required to define project manufacturing contract and
indirect projects and to generate notifications for scheduling exceptions.
Oracle Workflow is a complete workflow management system that supports business
process definition and automation. Its technology enables automation and continuous
improvement to business processes, routing information of any type according to
user-defined business rules. Oracle Workflow contains a graphical user interface that
enables you to modify workflow processes to suit your business needs.
Oracle Project Manufacturing comes with the following workflows:
• Project Manufacturing Project Definition [Contract] workflow guides you through
the setup steps required to define a project manufacturing contract project. This
workflow is seeded with one process, the PJM Contract Type Project Definition
process.
• Project Manufacturing Project Definition [Indirect/Capital] workflow guides you

through the setup steps required to define a project manufacturing indirect or
capital project. This workflow is seeded with one process, the PJM Indirect Type
Project Definition process.
Workflows B-1
• Project Manufacturing Project Schedule Exception Notification workflow allows
you to define the notifications sent for schedule exceptions. This workflow is seeded
with one process, the Project Manufacturing Integration Exception Process.
PJM Contract Type Project Definition Process

The PJM Contract Type Project Definition process provides a workflow-based approach
to organize and launch the application forms needed to setup a project manufacturing
contract project. The process provides sequential access to the needed windows from
Oracle Projects, Oracle Master Scheduling, Oracle Work in Process, Oracle Cost
Management, and Oracle Project Manufacturing.
The PJM Contract Type Project Definition process can be accessed through Oracle
applications and through Workflow Builder. Use the Workflow Builder to customize
the process.
To access the PJM Contract Type Project Definition Process

1. Choose the Process tab on the navigator. The processes you can access are
displayed on the upper left.
2. Select the PJM Contract Type Project Definition Process.
Customizing the PJM Contract Type Project Definition Process

Processes can be customized using the Oracle Workflow Builder. When you customize
the PJM Contract Type Project Definition process, only projects defined after you
customize it are affected.
To display the process in the Oracle Workflow Builder

1. Choose Open from the File menu, and connect to the database.
2. Select Project Manufacturing Project Definition [Contract] to open it.
3. Expand the data source, then expand the item type Project Manufacturing Project
Definition [Contract].
4. Expand the Processes branch within the item type.

Customization Example
You can customize the PJM Contract Type Project Definition process by adding or
deleting steps to the process, by changing process names and descriptions, and by
changing step icons. For example, you might choose to remove Task Auto Assignment
(step 16) from this process if your organization is at a project control level of task.
Customizations That Are Not Supported

Each type of customization is supported for the PJM Contract Type Project Definition.
However, the order of steps must take prerequisites for each form opened into account
for the process to operate smoothly.
Creating a New Custom Process

You can use the PJM Contract Type Project Definition process as a basis for developing
your own project definition processes.
Project Manufacturing Project Definition [Contract] Item Type

The PJM Contract Type Project Definition process is associated with an item type called
Project Manufacturing Project Definition [Contract]. All the available processes
associated with an item type are listed under that item type in the Workflow Builder.
Currently, the only available process for this item type is the PJM Contract Type Project
Definition process.
The Project Manufacturing Project Definition [Contract] item type has two attributes
associated with it. These attributes reference information in the demonstration
application tables. The attributes are used and maintained by function activities
throughout the process.

Project Manufacturing Integration Exception Process

When you submit a Project Schedule Exception Notification request, Oracle Project

Manufacturing uses Oracle Workflow technology in the background to handle the
notification process. Oracle Workflow defines the approval notification options
hierarchy available in the request parameters. You can use the Workflow Builder
interface to modify your notification process.
The project manufacturing project schedule exception notification workflow consists of
a single process, which is viewable in the Workflow Builder as a diagram. You can
modify the objects and properties.
Customizing the Project Manufacturing Integration Exception Process

the Project Manufacturing Project Schedule Exception Notification workflow, only those
schedule exception notification requests that are submitted after you have customized it
are affected. You can add or remove document types or alter the responsibilities to be
notified for a given document type.
To display the workflow in the Oracle Workflow Builder:

2. Select PJM Project Schedule Exception Notification to open it.
3. Expand the data source, then expand the item type PJM Project Schedule Exception
Notification.
5. Double-click on the PJM Integration Exception Process to the display the diagram in

Summary of the Project Manufacturing Integration Exception Process

To view the properties of the Project Manufacturing Integration Exception Process,
select the process in the navigation tree and choose Properties from the Edit menu. This

process has a result type of None, indicating that when the process completes, it does
not end with any particular result, such as End (Approved) or End (Rejected). Instead,
its subprocesses end with specific results.
This process is runnable, indicating that it can be initiated as a top level process to run
by making calls to the Workflow Engine CreateProcess and StartProcess APIs. The
workflow begins at node 1. At node 2, this workflow branches depending on whether
the document is a WIP, SO, Forecast, PR, RFQ, quotation, MDS, MPS, purchase order,
or blanket release exception notification. If a choice is not made, the process is initiated
for all options. At nodes 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45, 51, and 57 the workflow notifies the
requestor and locates the appropriate project manager for notification. At nodes 4, 10,
16, 22, 28, 34, 40, 46, 52, and 58 the workflow locates the appropriate project manager for
notification. At nodes 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 35, 41, 47, 53, and 59 the workflow sends
notification to the appropriate project manager. At nodes 6, 12, 17, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54,
and 60 the workflow locates the appropriate task manager for notification. At nodes 7,
13, 18, 25, 31, 37, 43, 49, 55, and 61 the workflow sends notification to the appropriate
task manager.
Project Manufacturing Integration Exception Process Activities

The following is a description of each activity listed by the activity's display name. You
can create all the components for an activity in the graphical Workflow Builder except

Glossary
borrow payback
Transfer of material between projects where applicable unit cost is moved from the
lending project to the borrowing project. The transaction is recorded, and repayment is
made to the lending project when a replenishment order is received by the borrowing
project. The original cost of the material is transferred to the lending project and the
borrowing project absorbs the difference in cost.
common locator
A locator flexfield without project or task segment values. A common locator represents
a physical location.
common project
A project, defined in Oracle Projects, that will hold the costs for the common
(non-project) items. Every common costed transaction will be processed through the
cost collector and receive the "common project" destination.
cost element
A classification for the cost of an item, including material, material overhead, resource,
outside processing, and overhead.
cost group
An attribute of a project which allows the system to hold item unit costs at a level below
the inventory organization. Within an organization, an item may have more than one
cost if it belongs to different cost groups. Item costing can be specific to a single project
if each project has a distinct cost group, or specific to a group of projects if all projects in
that group are assigned to the same cost group.
cost sub–element
A subdivision of cost element. You can define unlimited cost sub–elements for each cost
element.
date effectivity
Method to control the configuration of an assembly by assigning date ranges for the
Glossary-1
parent/component relationships. Component selection by MPS and MRP is based upon
which components are valid for the date the components are required.
default material task

Task to which project material costs are allocated if no matching rules are found for
material task assignment. It is a rule with no material task assignment criteria specified.
default resource task

Task to which project resource costs are allocated if no matching rules are found for
resource task assignment. It is a rule with no resource task assignment criteria specified.
effectivity
Effectivity is used to control the addition or removal of a component or an operation
from a bill of material or an assembly process. Effectivity control may be managed by
model/unit number (also known as serial number effectivity) or by date.
end item unit number

End Item Unit Number, sometimes abbreviated as Unit Number, uniquely identifies
which bill of material to be used for building a specific Model/Unit Number Effectivity
controlled item.
Exchange Rate Variance (ERV)

The difference between the exchange rate for a foreign-currency invoice and its
matched purchase order.
expenditure organization
For timecards and expense reports, the organization to which the incurring employee is
assigned, unless overridden by organization overrides. For usage, supplier invoices,
and purchasing commitments, the incurring organization entered on the expenditure.
expenditure type
An implementation–defined classification of cost that you assign to each expenditure
item. Expenditure types are grouped into cost groups (expenditure categories) and
revenue groups (revenue categories). Expenditure types include: IPV, ERV, Tax,
Freight, and Miscellaneous.
invoice charges
Includes Invoice Price Variance (IPV), Exchange Rate Variance (ERV), Freight, Tax, and
Miscellaneous Charges. In Release 11i, the invoice charges are transferred from Oracle
Payables to Oracle Projects for each project using the invoice charge transfer process.
Invoice Price Variance (IPV)

Difference between the purchase price and the invoice price paid for a purchase order
Glossary-2
receipt. Upon invoice approval, Oracle Payable automatically records Invoice Price
Variance to invoice price variance account.
lot type seiban

Also known as Mass production seiban. Project represents a model, task represents a lot
for that model; Project+Task represent the Seiban Number; all costs for all lots are
collected into a project for analysis purposes.
model/unit number effectivity

A method of controlling what components go into making an end-item based on an
assigned end item model/unit number. An end item model/unit number field is an
alphanumeric field that is usually concatenated with a model prefix and a sequential
unit number, e.g. FAN-0001. Unique configurations are specific by defining
parent-component relationships for a particular end item model/unit number. Multiple
unique configurations can be established for a single end-item part by assigning
different model/unit number effectivities.
A Model is a control element that identifies a particular configuration of an end item
and associates it with one or more contracts (e.g. Boeing 747). However, this
information is embedded as a prefix in naming the unique end item model/unit number
identifier, there is no link to ATO/PTO model items. A unit is a specific end item (e.g. a
tail number) within the model designation.
Subassemblies or components at levels beyond major assembly can be under date
effectivity control if there is no need to identify its configuration by end item unit
number. You need to decide how deep in your bill structure that you are planning to
use Model/Unit Number Effectivity into the inventory so that you can distinguish your
various configuration. Once you identify a part to be under model/unit number
effectivity control, all its parent assemblies has to be under model/unit number
effectivity control.
Component selection by MPS and MRP is based upon which components are valid for
the specific end item model/unit numbers.
permanent transfers
Seeproject transfers
planning group
A grouping mechanism that allows you to group multiple projects for planning and
netting purposes. Projects within the same planning group can share supply.
project

A locator with project and task segment values. A project locator is a logical partition of
a physical location by project and task.
project manufacturing
A type of manufacturing environment where production requirements are driven by
large projects. You can plan, schedule, process, and cost against a specific project or a
group of projects. If Oracle Project Manufacturing is installed and the Project References
Enabled and Project Control Level parameters are set in the Organization Parameters
window, you can assign project and, if required, task references to sales orders, planned
orders, jobs, requisitions, purchase orders, and other entities within Oracle
Manufacturing. If the Project Cost Collection Enabled parameter is also set, you can
collect and transfer manufacturing cost to Oracle Projects.
