Prerequisites

   Define organizations. See: Organizations.

   Define organization hierarchy. See: Organization Hierarchy.

   To specify project burdening hierarchies:

1. Select an Oracle Projects responsibility with access to the Organization window associated with the Business Group for which you are entering Legal Entities and Operating Units.

Note: Perform these steps in the corresponding Oracle Human Resources windows if you have installed that application.

2. Navigate to the Organizations window (Setup > Human Resources > Organizations > Define).

3. Define an organization or query organizations that you defined as a business group. You must define the hierarchy before you designate it as the project burdening hierarchy.

Note: Depending on your enterprise organization structure and business process, it is possible for the Project Burdening Hierarchy Version to be different from the Project/Task Organization Hierarchy Version, Expenditure/Event Organization Hierarchy Version, or Default Project Reporting Organization Hierarchy Version the you defined for any operating units associated with the business group. The Cost Distribution processes will not burden expenditures for expenditure organizations that are not in the Project Burdening Hierarchy.

If you add a new organization to the Project Burdening Hierarchy Version

• add new burden multipliers for that organization in the appropriate burden schedules, or

• use the multipliers inherited from the parent organization as the burden multipliers for the organization

If you use the parent organization multipliers, you must submit the PRC: Add New Organization Burden Compiled Multipliers process. This process adds multipliers for this organization to all burden schedules versions for which you did not explicitly add multipliers.

If you do not run this process, you will encounter a rejection reason of 'Cannot find compiled multiplier' for transactions charged to this organization.
