Activity Manager
The system lets users create, consolidate, and monitor activities that must be completed on a schedule by way of the Activity Manager.
The ORACLE PROJECT TEMPLATE includes templates for a Master Schedule (also known as a Milestone Schedule) activity sheet and a Project Schedule activity sheet. For information on incorporating this default setup into your projects, see Updating the Cash Flow Properties by Using the ORACLE PROJECT TEMPLATE. (The ORACLE PROJECT TEMPLATE also includes a sample WBS Sheet.) By default, the Project Cash Flow Baseline and Forecast schedules curves in the Project Schedule template pull the Start Date and Finish Date from the Master Schedule.
A Project Manager or Coordinator can use these templates in new Projects and can update in existing Projects. After editing the WBS Sheet, defining tasks, and setting durations, users should schedule the Activity Sheet and set a baseline. Doing so populates the start and end dates for the default cash flow curves.
If a Master Schedule activity sheet is not used, cash flow dates can be manually set or set using an integrated schedule from Oracle Primavera Cloud or P6.
The ORACLE PROJECT TEMPLATE also includes an Estimate cash flow curve. Those who have the necessary permissions can use the Master Schedule activity sheet to populate cash flow dates. The summarized Estimate amount will come from the Approved Estimates column on the Project Cost Sheet. Predefined distribution curves are available or costs can be spread manually. Using the Estimate cash flow curve facilitates capital planning before an Initial Budget is created, which subsequently creates a Forecast cash flow curve.
