Data that Oracle Projects Predefines

Oracle General Ledger uses journal entry sources and journal entry categories to differentiate the various cost and revenue journal entry transactions you load into Oracle General Ledger.

Journal entry sources

A journal entry source identifies the origin of a journal entry. Each journal entry in the general ledger is associated with a journal entry source. For example, when you import a journal entry to Oracle General Ledger from Oracle Projects, Projects is that journal entry's source.

Oracle Projects predefines one journal entry source named Projects for the source of project accounting journal entries for cost and revenue transactions.

Journal entry categories

Journal entry categories categorize the types of transactions you can enter in your general ledger.

Oracle Projects predefines four journal entry categories for the journal entries you import to Oracle General Ledger. Three categories are for cost transactions, and the other is for revenue transactions.

You can interface records for your revenue and cost transactions to Oracle General Ledger whenever you are ready and as many times during an accounting period as you wish. You can then use Oracle General Ledger to create journal entries for your transactions and post these journal entries, according to your accounting practices.

Note: If you implement Multiple Reporting Currencies in Oracle Projects, you must interface costs and revenue to Oracle General Ledger in your primary currency before you can interface costs and revenue in your reporting currencies. See also: Multiple Reporting Currencies in Oracle Applications.

Submitting Processes

You can interface costs and revenue to Oracle General Ledger using Oracle Projects streamline processes. When you use a streamline process, you submit one request that interfaces costs and revenue to Oracle General Ledger, runs Journal Import, and ties back costs and revenue to Oracle Projects. The streamline process submits each process sequentially. We discuss each of these processes in the pages that follow.

You use the following streamline options to interface costs and revenue with Oracle General Ledger:

You submit a streamline process by requesting the PRC: Submit Interface Streamline Process using the Submit Request form.

If you need to perform an individual function (such as interfacing labor costs), you can use an individual process.

The streamline processes which include distribution processes (DXL and DXU) should not be run during critical processing times. You should run individual distribute processes, and then run the interface and tieback streamline processes later. This will speed up the cycle of getting project information to project managers.
