This process creates total burdened cost distribution lines for all transactions on a burdened project. The process also identifies and processes any cross-charged transactions. The process creates default accounts for credit and debit distribution lines for burdened costs, assuming that you have implemented the AutoAccounting functions to create burdened cost distribution lines.
When you use budgetary controls, this process performs funds validation for burdened costs. The burden multipliers can change between when you approve a commitment transaction, and when you distribute total burdened costs in Oracle Projects. This process validates whether the cost changes are within the budgeted amount. If top-down budget integration is defined for a project, then you run the process PRC: Generate Cost Accounting Events to generate encumbrance accounting events to reverse existing encumbrances and to create new encumbrances that result from changes in burden rate multipliers. See: Using Top-Down Budget Integration.
Note: If you define your own detailed accounting rules in Oracle Subledger Accounting, then Oracle Subledger Accounting overwrites default accounts, or individual segments of accounts, that Oracle Projects derives using AutoAccounting.
To submit the PRC: Distribute Total Burdened Cost process by itself, see: Submitting Requests.
You can submit the process as part of a streamline process. For information about streamline processes, see: Submitting Streamline Processes.
To limit the report to one expenditure batch, project, or expenditure ending date, enter one or more parameters.
Two output reports show you the results of this process:
Burdened Cost Report. Lists all of the expenditure items successfully distributed by this process. For each item, this report displays the expenditure type class, expenditure type, project and task, as well as other useful information.
Burdened Cost Exception Report. Lists all expenditure items that could not be processed by the process. This report lists the rejection reason for each of the expenditure items that fails burdened cost distribution.
Note: You can also review rejection reasons from the Expenditure Items window by using the Show Field option in the Folder menu to display Cost Distr. Rejection. See: Viewing Expenditure Items.
