Entering Values in General Pane

Enter values in the following fields, as described below.

Name

Enter a unique name for the curve in this field.

Description

(Optional) Enter a brief description in this field.

Detail Level

The selected option determines the level of data the cash flow curves will display. You can select one of the following options:

• Project/Shell

  To track your cash flow for the entire project or shell. For example, Baseline and Actuals curves might chart the budget and cash outlay across the entire project.

• Summary CBS

  To track cash flow by summary CBS codes. In order to be able to select this option, the Cost Sheet used in the project or shell must be a tree structure.

• CBS

  To track the cash flow within a project or shell at the CBS Code level. This allows you to track the cash flow across the project for specific CBS Codes, or for all CBS Codes.

  Oracle recommends that you define unique leaf level cost codes, in cost sheets, and use those unique leaf level cost codes in their cash flows.

Business Process (Commitments)

To track the cash flow associated with a particular BP record and its line items. This includes, for example, a base contract and optionally their referenced Change Commits. This option lets you select from:

• Business Process: Click the drop down menu and choose a business process. Listed are the Project/Shell level business processes of type "Base Commit." When creating a template, choose the one that is likely to be used in the projects/shells the template will be used in. When creating the curve in a Project/Shell from the template, you may need to verify that the business process chosen here is active in the project or shell, or pick another from the list.
• Reference Elements: The worksheet will display the reference elements. By default, the Record Number will display as the number. You can click the drop down menu and choose an element to display as the Name (Record Number, Status or Title).
• Base Commit Record: This is selectable in a project or shell, but not in a template. Choose the commitment record from the list of available records in the project or shell. Each commitment record can be selected only once.

  You can set up the automatic creation of a cash flow curve when a Base Commit record is created and completed or reaches a particular step. This is done in the BP Setup for the business process.

Filter CBS Codes

Specify Filter CBS Codes (for hierarchical CBS structures only) that are included in the cash flow data. If no codes are specified, then the cash flow curves will reflect all of the CBS codes present on the project cost sheet.

Filter Summary CBS Codes

Specify Filter Summary CBS Codes (for hierarchical CBS structures only) that are included in the cash flow data. If no codes are specified, then the cash flow curves will reflect all of the CBS codes present on the project cost sheet.
