Capture Sales Order Issues in Projects

You can capture project details on sales orders to enable tracking the cost of goods shipped from common inventory to a project.

Here are the steps you need to perform:

• Import Sales Order Issue transactions into Oracle Project Costing using the Import Costs process after the item is shipped and the transaction is accounted for in Cost Management.

• After importing the transaction, you can add the Sales Order Number and Shipment Number references to identify the transaction source via the View menu on the Manage Project Costs page.

• You can then view these transactions on the Manage Unprocessed Costs page.

• You can search by Sales Order Number or Shipment Number on the Manage Cost Distribution page as well.

Project accountants can open the expenditure item to view the complete transactions details, including the source document.

Points to Consider

Here are a few points to note about this feature:

• The expenditure item date of the sales order issue transaction is the shipment date.

• Project Costing receives the cost of the item as defined in Manufacturing Costing.

• Project Costing doesn't support billing by material item and service item.

• Drop shipments and back to back processing of project sales order lines aren't supported.
