PA Date
Oracle Projects determines the PA Date when you distribute costs, interface supplier invoices from Oracle Payables, generate revenue, and generate invoices. The PA date is determined for each cost distribution line, each draft revenue, and each draft invoice.
PA Dates are determined according to the following criteria:
Timecards, Usages, Expense Reports, and Miscellaneous Transactions
Oracle Projects derives the PA date when you distribute costs. A PA date is determined for each cost distribution line created for an expenditure item.
The PA Date is set to the end date of the earliest PA period that is on or after the expenditure item date and has a status of Open or Future.
Supplier Invoice Items
Oracle Projects derives the PA date for each supplier invoice cost distribution line when you interface the supplier invoice from Oracle Payables. Each project related invoice distribution line in Oracle Payables becomes a cost distribution line associated with an expenditure item in Oracle Projects.
The PA Date is set to the end date of the earliest PA period that is on or after the expenditure item date and has a status of Open or Future.
You enter the expenditure item date and the GL date when you enter a supplier invoice in Oracle Payables. The PA date is derived during interface to Oracle Projects. In most cases, the PA date is earlier than the GL date. However, for supplier invoices, there are cases where the PA date may be later than the GL date. The conditions under which the PA date may be later than the GL date on a supplier invoice item are as follows:
- You enter an expenditure item date that is later than the GL date of an invoice.
- You close the PA period in which the expenditure item date falls before an item is interfaced to Oracle Projects.
Revenue and Invoices
When generating draft revenue or draft invoices, Oracle Projects derives the PA date for each revenue and invoice. All items associated with the draft revenue and the draft invoice use the PA date of the revenue or invoice.
Oracle Projects determines the PA date for draft revenue and invoices as follows:
1. Looks for the last expenditure item or event completion date on or before the invoice/revenue generation accrue through date.
Note: If your project uses cost-to-cost revenue accrual, the completion date for all events is the revenue generation accrue through date.
2. Determines which PA Period includes the last expenditure item or event completion date.
3. If that PA Period has a status of Open or Future, the PA date is set to the end of that PA Period. Otherwise, Oracle Projects sets the PA date to the end of the next Open or Future PA Period.
