The process PRC: Distribute Supplier Cost Adjustments processes adjustments made in Oracle Projects to supplier costs, such as supplier invoices, receipt accruals, supplier payments, and discounts. Supplier cost adjustments are supplier cost expenditure items that have been interfaced from Oracle Purchasing or Oracle Payables to Oracle Projects, and subsequently adjusted in Oracle Projects. This process determines the default GL account for supplier cost adjustments.
The transfers may result in posting costs to different GL accounts. The cost amount does not change for these items in Oracle Projects, so any cost changes must be done in Oracle Purchasing or Oracle Payables.
You can submit this process for all projects or for a single project. To process adjustments for a range of projects, use the process PRC: Distribute Supplier Cost Adjustments for a Range of Projects.
When you use budgetary controls, this process performs funds validation for supplier cost adjustments that you enter in Oracle Projects. If top-down budget integration is enabled, 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 supplier cost adjustments. See: Budgetary Controls and Using Top-Down Budget Integration.
This process is a required prerequisite for the generation of revenue and invoices for adjusted supplier expenditure items.
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 either PRC: Distribute Supplier Cost Adjustments or PRC: Distribute Supplier Cost Adjustments for a Range of Project 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.
Optionally, specify a project (PRC: Distribute Supplier Cost Adjustments) or a range of projects (PRC: Distribute Supplier Cost Adjustments for a Range of Projects), and an expenditure ending date. If you leave the Through Date parameter blank, the process selects all eligible adjusted supplier cost items for cost distribution.
The following reports show you the results of this process:
Supplier Cost Adjustment Exception Report. Lists any adjusted supplier expenditure items that could not be processed by this process and lists the rejection reason for each item.
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.
Supplier Cost Adjustment Report. Lists all adjusted supplier expenditure items that were successfully cost distributed. This report also lists any funds check warnings for the expenditure items.
