Reporting Resource Breakdown Structure Versions

Use reporting resource breakdown structures to view the rolled-up data in Oracle Fusion Project Performance Reporting. The structure provides a method for viewing planned and actual cost and revenue for a project by resource, resource type, and other resource groupings.

Versions

Reporting resource breakdown structure versions provide a history of resource breakdown structures used for resource reporting.

When a resource breakdown structure is created, a working version is automatically created. You can have only one working version at a time. You can make changes to the working version until you are ready to freeze it.

Only a frozen version can be associated with a project. When you freeze one version, a new working version is created on which you can make further changes.

When you freeze a resource breakdown structure version, that version becomes the current reporting version the next time project performance data is summarized. Although you can have multiple frozen versions, only one is used for current reporting at any given time.

Resource Types and Resources

All planning resource breakdown structures can be used for reporting.

In addition, you can build reporting resource breakdown structures based on the resource types and resources already defined in the application. Select the resource type and specify the associated resource for each level of the hierarchy. You can create up to ten hierarchical levels in a reporting resource breakdown structure. This is different than planning resource breakdown structures, which may contain up to three hierarchical levels.

The User Defined resource type enables you to define your own groups of resources. Select the User Defined resource type, enter a free-form definition of the group, and then create hierarchical levels that link the actual resource types and resources.

Cost Allocations

Enable the Use For Allocations option if you want to allocate costs with this reporting resource breakdown structure.

If you enable this option, you can select this reporting resource breakdown structure when defining source and target details for an allocation rule. In this situation, the reporting resource breakdown structure must be assigned to all source or target projects.
