Restrictions for Adjusting Converted Items

You can mark expenditure items as converted when you load expenditure items from another system into Oracle Projects during conversion. To do this, you set the CONVERTED_FLAG to Y (for Yes) in the PA_EXPENDITURE_ITEMS_ALL table.

Some adjustment actions are not permitted for converted items. The following table shows which adjustment actions are and are not allowed for converted items.

Adjustment Action Allowed for Converted Items
Correct Approved Expenditure Item YES
Allow Billing YES
Billable to Non-Billable NO
Non-Billable to Billable NO
Capitalizable to Non-Capitalizable NO
Non-Capitalizable to Capitalizable NO

One-Time Hold YES

Recalculate Burden Cost NO
Recalculate Raw Cost NO
Recalculate Revenue NO
Recalculate Cost/Revenue NO
Change Comment YES
Split NO
Transfer NO
Work Type NO

If an item is marked as converted, Oracle Projects assumes that the item does not have all the data required to support the recalculation of cost, revenue, and invoice. Therefore, you cannot perform the adjustment actions that may result in the recalculation of cost, revenue, or invoices for converted items.

Note: Marking items as converted has a similar effect to enabling the transaction source attribute that disallows adjustments on imported transactions originating from that source.
