Defining PA Periods

Prerequisites

   To define PA periods:

Suggestion: Define your PA periods for a full year when you implement Oracle Projects. Keep the number of Future or Open periods to a minimum to improve system performance on costing and revenue accrual.

Fremont Corporation tracks all project accounting data weekly. Since Fremont begins their expenditure week on a Monday, they also start their PA periods on a Monday. Fremont's implementation team defines weekly PA periods for a full year. They assign the first two periods as having a status of Open, the next two with a status of Future, and all other future periods as Never Opened.
