Troubleshooting Issues with Cost Adjustments

This topic describes how to resolve issues you might experience when running the processes to generate and send cost adjustments from Oracle Joint Venture Management to Oracle Project Costing.

Correct Issues with Creating Cost Adjustments from Joint Venture Distributions

When you run the Create Project Costing Adjustments process, check the log file for any errors. Correct any issues and then rerun the process. In the Distributions work area, when processed successfully, the Project Costing Status of distributions changes from Available to Process to Project Costing in Progress.

Correct Issues with Importing Cost Adjustments into Project Costing

Check the error report for errors after running the Import Costs process. Any records that the process fails to import into Project Costing are displayed in the Manage Unprocessed Costs work area. In the work area, you can address errors by updating fields and so forth, and then reprocess records through the import process.

If you find errors related to incorrect project details, and you can’t correct the details in Manage Unprocessed Costs, follow these steps to try to resolve the errors:

1. In Manage Unprocessed Costs, delete the cost adjustments in error, making sure to note the transactions and distributions associated with the costs in error before you delete them.
2. In Joint Venture Management, update the associated transactions and distributions as follows:
   1. Use the Manage Joint Venture Transactions in Excel spreadsheet to correct the project details in the transactions.
   2. Use the Manage Joint Venture Distributions in Excel spreadsheet to locate the associated distributions and change their Project Costing Status from “Project Costing in progress” to “Available to process.”
3. Run the processes to create and send the cost adjustments to Project Costing.

Recover Cost Adjustments Not Sent to Project Costing

It’s possible for the Import Costs process to complete successfully, but not import cost adjustments into Project Costing when there’s an issue with the account. When this occurs, the process moves records from staging to a Cost Import spreadsheet. Review the records in the spreadsheet and then use the same Cost Import process to import the records from the spreadsheet into Project Costing.

This issue indicates a problem with the setup of the offset to receivables in the Joint Venture Management implementation with Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials. See Verify Setup of Partner Accounts for Proper Processing of Cost Adjustments for more information.
