Troubleshooting Project Summary Amounts
Summarization Log
If you suspect that the project summary amounts do not properly reflect the source detail, a good way for you to start troubleshooting is to examine the log file produced by the Update Project Summary Amounts process. The summarization log shows the following information related to a project-level summarization:
- The submission parameters for the process
- Before and after numbers for actuals
- Before and after numbers for each budget type
Careful examination of the summarization log can provide evidence as to whether the problem originated in the summarization process or some other aspect of the Oracle Projects application.
Update Project Summary Amounts Report
The Update Project Summary Amounts Report, which is produced by the Update Project Summary Amounts process, lists all costs, revenue, budget amounts, and commitments that were summarized during the process.
This report also lists future period transactions. Future period transactions are transactions whose PA Period is later than the current PA reporting period. Any transactions appearing in this section have not been summarized by the Update Project Summary Amounts process, and will not be reflected in the Project Summary window. To summarize these transactions, you must set the current reporting period to a PA Period equal to or later than the PA Period of these transactions. See: Setting the PA Reporting Period.
