Before you Begin

This 30-minute tutorial shows you how to integrate Projects data with Capital. The sections build on each other and should be completed sequentially.

Background

You can integrate data for capital projects from Projects to Capital. When you create a capitalizable project in Projects, you can map both driver-based and directly-entered project expenses either partially or in full to expense accounts and asset classes in Capital, and push the data to Capital. You can allocate a project expense across multiple accounts and asset classes. You can also calculate depreciation.

What Do You Need?

An EPM Cloud Service instance allows you to deploy and use one of the supported business processes. To deploy another business process, you must request another EPM Enterprise Cloud Service instance or remove the current business process.

  • Have Service Administrator access to an EPM Enterprise Cloud Service instance. The instance should not have a business process created.
  • Upload and import this snapshot into your instance.
  • Note:

    If you run into migration errors importing the snapshot, re-run the migration excluding the HSS-Shared Services component, as well as the Security and User Preferences artifacts in the Core component. For more information on uploading and importing migration snapshots, refer to the Administering Migration for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud documentation.
