Maintaining Summary Amounts

Oracle Projects maintains amounts for each of the to-date values of Period-to-Date (PTD), Prior Period (PP), Year-to-Date (YTD), and Inception-to-Date (ITD), in addition to total (at project completion) budget amounts.

All amounts are held at the project, task, and resource levels except for non-labor quantities. Labor hours are summarized to the project and task levels based on the labor resource amounts. All other quantities that are not labor hours are summarized only to the resource level.

Actual Cost Amounts

Oracle Projects summarizes the following cost amounts for expenditure items after the items are costed:

Actual Revenue Amounts

Oracle Projects summarizes the following revenue amounts for billable expenditure items and events on contract projects after the revenue is released:

Budget Amounts

Oracle Projects summarizes budget amounts for the to-date values, in addition to total (at project completion) budget amounts, using the current and original budget versions of each budget type. When you run the Update Project Summary Amounts process, Oracle Projects deletes all previously summarized cost and revenue budget amounts and recreates the new budget to-date and total amounts.

Reconciling Budget Periods to Summarization Periods

If a budget period does not match the summarization period or the budget is not time-phased, the summarization process must apportion the budget amounts into the summarization periods.

If a budget is not time-phased, Oracle Projects determines the budget start and end dates based on the project or task start and end dates, as illustrated in the following table:

Budget Entry Level How the Budget Period is Determined
Project Project Start and End Dates
Task (where start and end dates have been entered for the task) Task Start and End Dates
Task (where start and end dates have not been entered for the task) Project Start and End Dates

Reconciling Summarization by PA Period

If summarization is by PA period, the summarization process divides the amounts into PA periods. If a budget period spans PA periods, the process prorates the amounts by day.

Reconciling Summarization by GL Period

If summarization is by GL period, the summarization process uses the following logic:

Commitment Amounts

Oracle Projects maintains the summary commitment amounts, by taking a snapshot of the commitments when the summarization is done; the commitment summary amounts are deleted and recreated.
