Topic - Project Labor Demand: How It ' s Calculated

Settings That Affect Project Labor Demand

Project application administrators must do the following to set up how project labor demand is calculated:

Organize projects into hierarchical groups on the Manage Enterprise Project Structure page.

Change the quarterly FTE hours for the organization on the Define Project Management Implementation Options page, if different from 520 hours.

Note : You can choose to view labor demand annually instead of quarterly. The Project Hierarchy Viewer uses the current date to determine which year or quarter to display.

Why can ' t I find persons in the list of resources when I enter team members, planning resources, or person rate schedules?

You can ' t find persons in the list of resources when you enter team members, planning resources, or person rate schedules in the following situations:

The administrator didn ' t assign a department while creating users. Persons must have an active assignment and be assigned to a department in Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management before they can be added as team members or entered as resources on the planning resource breakdown structure or person rate schedule .

The resource isn ' t active in Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management because the current date is before the effective date of the resource. If you want to include persons who will start in the future, select the Include people with future-dated effective start dates option when you search for the person.

Persons assigned as project managers aren ' t active as of the project start date.

The assignment of the person is terminated, and an appropriate value isn ' t set for the number of days to display people with terminated assignments. You can set the profile value appropriately at the site profile level using the Specify Number of Days to Display People with Terminated Assignments task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Project Control is the product offering that simplifies the planning, budgeting, and forecasting capabilities as part of Project Management Cloud.

Spread curves let you distribute quantity, cost, and revenue amounts automatically across accounting or project accounting periods . You assign a spread curve to each resource class. Planning resources (in the planning resource breakdown structure) inherit the spread curve setting from the associated resource class. You can change the spread curve for the planning resource and for any corresponding task assignments, or budget or forecast lines.

Project Labor Demand: How It ' s Calculated

Project executives want to track the labor demand in projects in their organization. The Project Hierarchy Viewer provides project executives a hierarchical view of the enterprise project structure (EPS) along with the labor demand in terms of full-time equivalent (FTE).

Settings That Affect Project Labor Demand

Project application administrators must do the following to set up how project labor demand is calculated:

Organize projects into hierarchical groups on the Manage Enterprise Project Structure page.

Change the quarterly FTE hours for the organization on the Define Project Management Implementation Options page, if different from 520 hours.

Note: You can choose to view labor demand annually instead of quarterly . The Project Hierarchy Viewer uses the current date to determine which year or quarter to display.

How Project Labor Demand Is Calculated

The Project Hierarchy Viewer calculates project labor demand in the following manner:

Spreads the allocation hours from the Manage Project Resources page evenly over the days that the resources are allocated to the project .

Divides the quarterly project allocation hours by the quarterly FTE hours to get the labor demand.

Rolls up the quarterly and annual labor demand up the hierarchy.

Topic – Asset Cost Allocation Methods: Explained

The asset cost allocation method determines how indirect or common costs incurred on a project are allocated to multiple assets.

You can specify an asset cost allocation method to enable Oracle Fusion Project Costing to automatically allocate unassigned asset lines and common costs across multiple assets. Unassigned asset lines typically occur when more than one asset is assigned to an asset grouping level.

Projects and project templates inherit a default asset cost allocation method from the associated project type. You can override the default at the project level. If you use capital events to allocate costs, then you can also override the asset cost allocation method at the event level.

The following table describes the available asset cost allocation methods.

Method

Basis of Cost Allocation

Actual Units

Number of units defined for each asset

Current Cost

Construction-in-process (CIP) cost of each asset

Estimated Cost

Estimated cost of each asset

Standard Unit Cost

Combination of the standard unit cost and the number of units defined for each asset

Spread Evenly

Equal allocation of cost to each asset
