Overview of Transaction Import
Transaction Import is an open interface that allows you to validate and load transactions from external cost collection systems into Oracle Projects. Transaction Import creates pre-approved expenditure items from transaction data entered in external cost collection systems. For example, you may wish to import transactions from the following types of systems into Oracle Projects:
- Expense report entry systems
- Oracle Personal Time and Expense
- Electronic data collection systems for asset usage (computer, printer, phone, etc.)
- Payroll systems that calculate complex transactions for benefits, overtime, and other labor charges
- Fixed assets systems that calculate depreciation charged to a project
- Manufacturing systems, such as Inventory and Work in Process
When loading transactions, Transaction Import creates expenditure batches, expenditures, and expenditure items. You can import costed or uncosted, accounted or unaccounted, and adjusted transactions into Oracle Projects.
This section describes how Transaction Import works. It also discusses how Transaction Import groups transactions to create expenditure batches. We also include information about the types of transactions you can load from external systems. Finally, we discuss how to view, process, and adjust the imported transactions in Oracle Projects.
