About the Project Funding Fact for E-Business Suite

Funding is based on Funding Line, which represents allocations made to a project or task. The line level funding information is held in the Funding Line fact (W_PROJ_ FUNDING_ LINE_F), which is based on PA_PROJECT_FUNDINGS table in the Billing Module of E-Business Suite.

Also, data is extracted from the Summary Funding table (PA_SUMMARY_PROJECT_FUNDINGS) to retrieve additional metrics like Unbaselined Amount, Baselined Amount, Invoiced Amount, Revenue Accrued; which are not available in the Funding line Fact; these would be available in Funding Header Fact (W_PROJ_FUNDING_HDR_F). Before running any ODI ETL job, you need to run the following process in E-Business Suite to update this table: PRC: Refresh Project Summary Amounts.

Note:

For E-Business Suite, Funding Currency is the Document Currency for this fact.

The following Domains are used in the Project Funding area:

  • Project_Funding_Category: Used for categorizing funding allocation types. Project_Funding_Level: This flat file is used to indicate whether a funding line is for a Task or a Project. It is not used in any by default metric definition.

    Funding Fact Canonical Date GL Date is not populated in the OLTP application. So in Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse, the GL Date for E-Business Suite is based on the Funding Allocation Date, using the GL Calendar of the Project OU. This enables cross-functional analysis on GL Calendar. For example, cross analysis of funding and billing by Fiscal Year is not possible if there is no GL Date in the Funding fact. Customers who do not want to perform analysis based on GL Calendar can instead base it on Enterprise Calendar.

  • The GL date (Funding Allocation Date) is the canonical date for this table and is also used for global exchange rate calculation.
