Oracle Projects uses jobs:
to determine bill rates and transfer prices
to describe customer invoice lines
to budget and summarize project costs by resources
Organizations within your enterprise are not required to use the same job definitions. You can define job groups for specific purposes and define unique jobs for each group. You can then map a job from one group to a job in another group. For example, the job titles you need for your European operating units may be different from the job titles you need for your U.S. operating units. For global projects you can define a global job set and map your European and U.S. jobs to the appropriate global jobs. These global jobs can then be used by your global projects to provide accurate and consistent billing and reporting.
Oracle Projects uses cross charge functionality to generate the appropriate accounting entries, and intercompany invoices when applicable, when the resource organization in a transaction is different from the project owning organization. For detailed information about cross charge functionality, see Overview of Cross Charge.
