Transaction Document Import and Accounting Options

Specify import and accounting options in the transaction document to define how cost transactions emanating from this document must be imported and processed.

Transaction Import Options

Specify document import options to control how the application imports transactions that are associated with documents. Here's a table that lists out the import options available for each document.

Import Options

Description

Import raw cost amounts

Import raw cost amounts from transactions listed in a document.

Import burdened cost amounts

Import burdened cost amounts from transactions listed in a document.

Allow duplicate reference

Allow multiple transactions from a document to have the same original transaction reference value.

Allow override of person organization

Override the primary human resources assignment organization of the persons associated with the transactions in a document.

Revalidate during import

Revalidate cost transactions that you import from a document. This option is available for all the documents for the following predefined sources:

  • Oracle Payables

  • Oracle Cost Management

  • Oracle Time and Labor

Requires expenditure batch approval

Specify that the imported cost requires expenditure batch approval.

Allow transactions for inactive or suspended person assignments

Enables project accountants to import person-related cost transactions, such as time cards and expense reports, even when the person's associated HR assignment is no longer active.

The Allow transactions for inactive or suspended person assignments document option, if enabled, takes precedence over the Allow Cost Transactions Until Certain Days After Person Termination (ORA_PJC_ALLOW_COSTS_UNTIL_DAYS_AFTER_PERS_TERM) administrator profile option, if you are using both. If the document option is not enabled, the administrator profile option is still evaluated if you've set a value for it.

Note: Oracle Fusion Time and Labor doesn't transfer hours to Project Costing if they are reported on days after a person's termination date even if you allow transactions for inactive or suspended person assignments for the Oracle Fusion Time and Labor Time Card document.

Transaction Accounting Options

Accounting options that you define for documents impact how the application accounts transactions for that document. Here is a list of the accounting options for each document.

Accounting Options

Description

Accounted in source application

Select this option to specify that cost transactions must be accounted in the source application. That is, you must account for raw, burden, or burdened costs externally.

If the raw cost, burden, or burdened cost is accounted in the source, then the respective general ledger accounts are required to import the transactions successfully.

Create raw cost accounting journal entries

Select this option to create raw cost accounting journal entries on transactions. This option is applicable only when the cost is not accounted in the source application.

Create adjustment accounting journal entries

Select this option to create adjustment accounting journal entries on transactions. You must select the Create raw cost accounting journal entries and Create adjustment accounting journal entries options if you plan to cross-charge or capitalize costs.

Import accounted cost when project periods are closed

Select this option to import accounted costs even when the project period is closed.

Transactions accounted in Payables, Cost Management, or third-party applications that are accounted in the source system can skip import costs validations if the project period status is closed or close pending. However, you must account the applicable burden cost and accrued revenue in the next open period.
