To implement billing extensions in Oracle Projects according to your company's method of doing business, perform the following steps.

Step 1 Design billing extensions

Carefully plan the definition of billing extensions before you begin writing them. Typically, the logic of your billing extensions are dependent on your company's implementation of Oracle Projects. Consider the following issues when designing your billing extensions:

• Logic of billing extensions

• Additional implementation data required

Step 2 Write and store PL/SQL procedures

After you design your billing extensions, write the PL/SQL procedures that define the logic of the billing extensions.

After you write your procedures, store them in the database and test them to ensure that your billing extension logic works as expected.

Step 3 Define billing extensions

Define your billing extensions, which specify the PL/SQL procedure name and additional information for Oracle Projects to use when processing billing extensions.

You use the Billing Extensions window to define billing extensions.

This step assumes that an event type has already been defined for the default event type. For a discussion of automatic events created by billing extensions, see: Automatic Events.

Step 4 Assign billing extensions to project types

Assign billing extensions to the appropriate project types if you have defined non-project-specific billing extensions. Your project users will assign the project-specific billing extensions to projects and tasks as they define projects.

You use the Project Types form to assign billing extensions to project types.
