You have the option, at the Inventory organization level, to post Project Manufacturing transactions to Oracle General Ledger, either from Oracle Manufacturing or from Oracle Projects. When you select the option to post the General Ledger in Oracle Projects, you can use Projects Burden Schedules to apply overhead to Project Manufacturing transactions. If you select this option, and continue to apply overhead in Manufacturing, then the overhead amount is imported into Projects as raw (not burden) cost.

If you select the option to post the GL from Projects, then only the transactions that are cost collected are posted to the General Ledger. Transactions that are not cost collected include:

• Sales order issues

• Work in Process component issues from the same project/task as the project/task on the WIP job

• Assembly completions

• Average and standard cost updates

• Job close and average cost variances

• Scrap transactions

Setting Up

This feature is enabled at the Inventory organization level by setting parameters in the Project Manufacturing Parameters window in the Costing tabbed region. You can select these options for an existing Project Manufacturing organization if there are no cost transactions for the open period. Select one of the options for each parameter:

GL Posting Option

• Manufacturing: Transactions are transferred to Oracle Projects as GL accounted and burdened. Non-manufacturing transactions are posted to General Ledger from Oracle Projects.

• Projects: All Project Manufacturing and non-manufacturing project transactions are posted to General Ledger from Oracle Projects.

Account Option

• Use AutoAccounting: All accounts are derived using the Accounting Rules Engine in Oracle Projects. Inventory transactions are transferred to Projects as Inventory with No Accounts. Work in Process transactions are transferred as WIP with No Accounts.

• Send Accounts to PA: Cost Group and WIP Accounting Class valuation accounts are transferred to Projects. Inventory transactions are transferred to Projects as Inventory with Accounts. Work in Process transactions are transferred as WIP with Accounts.
