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.

The generate public events for project deliverable status changes feature is a feature that allows you to send notifications or trigger actions when the progress status of a deliverable changes from one value to another. For example, when the status of a deliverable is set to Complete, you can send a notification to the owners of the associated tasks or update the status of the tasks accordingly. Two statements that are true about this feature are:

• The public event is not generated when a deliverable is created or deleted. This feature only generates events when the progress status of a deliverable changes, not when a deliverable is added or removed from a project or task.
• The public event is generated when the progress status for a deliverable changes. This feature generates events when the progress status of a deliverable changes from one value to another, such as from Not Started to In Progress, or from In Progress to Complete. You can define rules and actions for each progress status change using Business Process Management (BPM) Worklist. The public event is also not generated when the priority of a deliverable changes, as this feature only generates events when the progress status of a deliverable changes.

Password complexity criteria are criteria that determine how strong or secure a password must be for a user account. Password complexity criteria can include requirements such as minimum length, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, etc. Three of the valid password complexity criteria while setting up password policies are:

• Complex: At least 8 characters, 1 uppercase, and 1 number
• Very Complex: At least 8 characters, 1 uppercase, 1 number, and 2 special characters
• Very Complex: At least 8 characters, 1 uppercase, 1 number, and 1 special character Simple: At least 8 characters and 1 number is not a valid password complexity criterion while setting up password policies, as this criterion does not meet the minimum security standards for Oracle Cloud applications. Very Complex: At least 6 characters, 1 uppercase, 1 number, and 1 special character is also not a valid password complexity criterion while setting up password policies, as this criterion does not meet the minimum length requirement of 8 characters for Oracle Cloud applications.

To allocate the rental cost to the projects and tasks based on the raw costs of the tasks from the previous month, you need to do the following:

• Allocate rental costs once each accounting period by using the “full” allocation method. This method allocates the entire source amount to the target tasks in one run.
• Allocate to all eligible tasks and prorate the allocation by the total actual raw cost accrued for each task during the previous accounting period. This ensures that the source amount is proportionally allocated to the tasks based on their relative raw costs.
• Define allocation basis by using Actual Amounts with a period-to-date amount class. This allows you to use the actual raw costs of the tasks as the basis for allocation and to use the amounts from the previous accounting period.

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. Project Control allows you to create and manage project plans, budgets, and forecasts using various methods and sources. You can also monitor and control project performance and variances using dashboards and reports.

Topic – Submitting the Process to Maintain Project Resource Search Index: Procedure

Submit the Maintain Project Resource Search Index job set to update the resources that appear on the Search and Evaluate Resources page when a resource manager searches for resources to fulfill project resource requests. The job set consists of a set of processes that facilitate efficient and rapid searches for qualified resources.

Resource managers can't search for resources or view resource details if the search index isn't available for a project resource request with qualifications or keywords. For project resource requests without qualifications and keywords, resource managers can search for and evaluate resources based on resource availability even if the search index isn't current or available.

Caution: The search index isn't available if the Maintain Project Resource Search Index job set process fails, or while the process is running.

The employees and contingent workers will be able to modify their time cards in the Time work area. This work area allows them to enter, review, edit, and submit their time cards for approval. They can also view the status and history of their time cards and make corrections as needed. The Time and Cost work area allows the project managers and cost accountants to review, adjust, and transfer time card transactions to projects and tasks. The Asset work area allows the asset managers and cost accountants to review, adjust, and transfer asset transactions to Oracle Fusion Assets. These work areas are not used by the employees and contingent workers to modify their time cards.

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
