Accounting Project Costs Externally

You can integrate Oracle Fusion Project Costing with external financial applications, such as Oracle E-Business Suite or third-party applications. Export project cost transactions and interface them to an external application where they can be accounted.

The following table describes the processes used to export project cost transactions.

Process Name	Process Description
Extract Cost Distributions for External Accounting	Extracts cost distributions to be accounted in an external application and updates the export status of such cost distributions.
Extract Cross-Charge Distributions for External Accounting	Extracts cross-charge distributions to be accounted in an external application and updates the export status of such cross-charge distributions.

The distribution lines are exported into a CSV file that can be imported into the external application and used to create accounting.

Tip: You can report on these exported transactions in Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence and reconcile them with the external application. Use the Export Status attribute available in the Project Costing - Actual Cost Real Time subject area to filter transactions that have been extracted.
