Hi, I am facing problem while revenue acceptance. The invoice is accepted but the revenue generated is released and is not able to change the status to accepted. Is there any oracle seeded request to make the Status of revenue generated in Accepted.

Hi Raj,

I know few construction companies like sew Infrastructure, ramky… that implemented Oracle Projects in India, however there is no integration with any of the other modules(they forget the basic purpose of ERP).

Is there any construction company effectively using Oracle Projects? Does Oracle Projects really help to handle the Business process of a construction company. I think even the big and renowned consultants also dont have an answer for this. Oracle Projects implementation is not their bread and butter. They only tend to confuse the client and get no where with it.

Hi Chris.
You are talking about project funding. Yes, you can set up multiple POs as either separate agreements, or incremental changes to the existing agreement.

Hi Marian,

We are implementing R12 Oracle projects costing & billing for a Contruction & Contracting Co.

Here we are in the process of building the custom interface between Oracle Projects & Estimation tool.But from the Estimation there around 10000 BOQ items.The client billing is done for this 10000 items.Anyway work Quantity measurements happens at these BoQ Item level for the client billing and the Service POs also are broken down to BoQ item levels.

Is there any workaround available to track the actuals at rolled up level( say @ 200 to 300 BOQ item) and bill @ 10000 item level.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Well let me rephrase. They cannot work without Project Foundation. But using Resource Management and Project Management without Project Costing and Project Billing is like using a bicycle without wheels…

These three products cannot be installed or used as stand alone applications without Project Costing and/or Project Billing implemented first.

This is an incorrect statement. Project Resource Management and Project Management can work without having to implement Project Billing and Costing and I have personally been involved in such implementations.

Hi Ganesh,

You can define a set of PA jobs separate from the HR jobs map them together. The in Projects, you budget and cost your labor costs by the PA jobs.
