1z0-1057-24 Oracle Project Management Cloud 2024 Implementation Professional Questions and Answers

Project type is a classification that defines the common attributes and processing options for projects. Some of the correct statements about project type are:

Project type can be used as a source in subledger accounting. This allows you to create accounting rules based on the project type attribute.

Summarization options can be specified at project type. This allows you to control how the project transactions are summarized for reporting and performance purposes.

Project type can be associated with multiple project units. This allows you to share the same project type across different business units or organizations. Project type cannot be enabled for both billing and capitalization, as these are mutually exclusive options. Classifications cannot be assigned at project type, but at project or task level.

Manage Project Enterprise Labor Resource Maintenance Conditions

Project Enterprise Labor Resources: How They Are Automatically Created and Maintained

Run the Maintain Project Enterprise Labor Resources process to create resources, remove resource availability for staffing, and maintain the resource search index.

Settings That Affect the Maintain Project Enterprise Labor Resources Process

Create and maintain project enterprise labor resources by defining a set of conditions that specify the employees and contingent workers in Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management (HCM) to create as resources in Oracle Fusion Project Portfolio Management. Define the resource attribute values, such as the resource calendar and primary project role, to assign to the new resources.

The following table lists the criteria that you define for selecting HCM persons to create as project enterprise labor resources.

Selection Criteria

Description

Person type

Select the HCM person type for the process to use as criteria when selecting HCM persons to create as resources. Available person types are employees, contingent workers, orboth employees and contingent workers.

Option to select people based on job

Select this option for the process to create resources for HCM persons with specific jobs.

CautionIf you do not select job criteria for this condition, the process will create resources for all eligible people based only on the person type.

Jobs

If you selected the option to select people based on job, then select the jobs for the process to use as HCM person selection criteria.

The following table lists the attributes for which you specify values to assign to resources that are created for the condition.

Resource Attribute

Description

Option to manage resource availability and staffing

Select this option for resource managers to manage the availability and project staffing of resources who are created based on the condition. Resources who are managed in Oracle Fusion Project Resource Management are eligible to fulfill project resource requests.

Calendar

Select the resource calendar for resources that are created based on the condition. The resource calendar defines the work schedule for project enterprise labor resources, and includes working days and hours and any exceptions, such as holidays.

Primary project role

Select the primary project role for resources that are created based on the condition. Project roles are maintained in Oracle Fusion Project Management.

Cost rate and currency

Enter the cost rate and currency for resources that are created based on the condition.

Bill rate and currency

Enter the bill rate and currency for resources that are created based on the condition.

Project gate statuses are values that indicate the progress or completion of a project gate. A project gate is a checkpoint that marks the end of a phase or stage in a project lifecycle. Three of the project gate statuses are:

Open: This status indicates that the project gate is not yet ready for review or approval.

In Review: This status indicates that the project gate is under review or approval by the gate reviewers or approvers.

Closed: This status indicates that the project gate has been reviewed or approved and the project can move to the next phase or stage. Approve and Draft are not project gate statuses, but actions that can be performed on a project gate. Approve is an action that allows a gate approver to approve a project gate and change its status to Closed. Draft is an action that allows a gate owner to create or edit a project gate and change its status to Open.

What's a borrowed and lent processing method?

A method of processing cross-charge transactions that generates accounting entries to share revenue or transfer costs from theprovider organization to the receiver organization within a legal entity.An internal invoice isn't created but costs or revenue are sharedbased on the transfer price rules.This method provides a financial view of the performance of an organization.

To enable a task as a business object for social networking, you need to select the task and the project attributes. These attributes allow you to identify the task and the project it belongs to, and to view the social conversations related to them. Task number and creation date are not available as attributes for social networking. Project number is available, but it is not required to enable a task as a business object.Reference:https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/project-portfolio-management/20c/oapfm/manage-project-tasks.html#OAPFM2355891

When an invoice is entered with an invoice date in the open project accounting and closed accounting periods, the accounting date is the same as the original invoice date, but the project accounting date is the first day of the first open project accounting period. This ensures that the invoice is accounted in the correct accounting period and recognized in the correct project accounting period.Reference:https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/project-portfolio-management/20c/oapfm/manage-project-invoices.html#OAPFM2355911

 If the Require Complete Asset Definition option is enabled on a project type, the “Transfer Assets to Oracle Fusion Assets” process will place asset lines with complete definition into the Hold queue in Oracle Fusion Assets. This queue holds the asset lines that require manual review and approval before they can be posted to the asset register. Asset lines with incomplete definition will be placed into the Error queue in Oracle Fusion Assets. This queue holds the asset lines that have errors or missing information that need to be corrected before they can be transferred to the Hold queue.

The Cost Collection Flexfield is a descriptive flexfield that captures additional information about project costs. It has three core attributes that are required for every cost transaction:Billable Flag, Expenditure Type, and Capitalizable Flag. These attributes can be derived during import if not explicitly entered in a transaction document, based on various rules and sources such as expenditure type defaults, project type defaults, transaction source defaults, etc. Funding Source and Work Type are not core attributes of the Cost Collection Flexfield, but context-sensitive segments that can be optionally enabled for certain transaction sources or business units. These segments capture additional information about how the costs are funded or what type of work is performed.

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.

The expenditure type class that is recommended for the expenditure types that need to be defined for work order labor and equipment resource transactions is Work In Process. This class indicates that the transactions are related to work orders that are performed as part of a project-driven supply chain solution. This class also allows the transactions to be processed by Oracle Fusion Manufacturing applications and transferred to Oracle Fusion Project Costing applications. Supplier Invoice is not a valid expenditure type class for work order labor and equipment resource transactions. This class indicates that the transactions are related to supplier invoices that are entered in Oracle Fusion Payables applications and transferred to Oracle Fusion Project Costing applications. Usages is not a valid expenditure type class for work order labor and equipment resource transactions. This class indicates that the transactions are related to material usages that are entered in Oracle Fusion Inventory Management applications and transferred to Oracle Fusion Project Costing applications. Inventory is not a valid expenditure type class for work order labor and equipment resource transactions. This class indicates that the transactions are related to inventory movements that are entered in Oracle Fusion Inventory Management applications and transferred to Oracle Fusion Project Costing applications.

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 Indexjob set process fails, orwhile the process is running.

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.

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.

Topic Approval Groups

Each approval group includes a set of users that you configure to act on tasks in a certain pattern. Tasks can be defined to get routed to an approval group instead of an individual user. You can nest approval groups within approval groups.

You have two options for defining the group:

Static: Select the specific users to include in the group.

Dynamic: Provide the logic to use to determine the users in the group.

Program management is a capability that allows you to coordinate and track multiple related projects and tasks as part of a strategic program. To configure the program options as part of implementing the program management capability, you need to define three components:

Calendar: This component allows you to specify the calendar that is used to calculate the dates and durations for the program and its projects and tasks.

Calculation Methods: This component allows you to specify the methods that are used to calculate the progress, performance, and variance measures for the program and its projects and tasks based on various sources and formulas.

Derivation Methods: This component allows you to specify the methods that are used to derive the attributes and values for the program and its projects and tasks based on various rules and conditions. Currencies and Accounting Methods are not components that are required to configure the program options. Currencies are used to define the currency conversion rates and rules for the program and its projects and tasks. Accounting Methods are used to define the subledger accounting rules and options for the program and its projects and tasks.

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 adepartmentwhile creating users. Persons must have an active assignment andbe assigned to a departmentin 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.

The borrowed and lent cross charge method is a method that allows you to process cross charge transactions between provider and receiver organizations that belong to different legal entities within the same primary ledger. This method does not generate internal invoices or intercompany accounting entries for cross charge transactions. Instead, this method creates accounting entries that move an amount equal to the transfer price between the provider and receiver organizations using borrowed and lent accounts. Two statements that are true about this method are:

Internal Invoice is not generated with this method. This method does not create internal invoices for cross charge transactions, as these transactions are accounted within the same primary ledger using borrowed and lent accounts.

This method allows you to process cross charge transactions across legal entities. This method allows you to process cross charge transactions between provider and receiver organizations that belong to different legal entities within the same primary ledger, as long as they share the same chart of accounts, calendar, currency, and subledger accounting method.

Followers are persons who aren't working on the task but have an interest in reviewing the task progress. Only the resources and other followers can add followers to a task. If a resource assigns the task to another team member, the application automatically changes the original resource to a follower.

What's the difference between my tasks and tasks that I follow?

You can edit task details and enter progress for your tasks on the Manage Tasks page. If a task has multiple resources, only the primary resource can edit the task.

When you follow a task, you can view the task details and see the task activity stream. You receive e-mail notifications of changes that team members make to the task.

If a resource reassigns the task to another team member, then the previous resource automatically becomes a follower.
