A company requires advance payments for their contract projects. How would they ensure that for specific types of work they always have an advance payment?
Note:
* You can set up an agreement to require advance payments by selecting the Advance required on the agreement. You can also use the Advance Required client extension to determine which agreements require advance payments. On these agreements, you can enter funding only up to the amount of advance payments.
The ability to change the Advance Required agreement option is controlled by function security.
* Agreements with Advance Payments
You can require advance payments on an agreement and record advance payments as they are made. When you generate draft invoices for projects that are funded by the agreement, the advance balance that is displayed on the funding summary is reduced. You then interface the invoice to Receivables. The AutoInvoice process in Oracle Receivables reduces the balance on the advance.
Your customer has set up a contract project with a distribution rule Work/Work. Identify three setup options to:
1. Charge labor transactions revenue and all other nonlabor transactions revenue to separate accounts
2. Generate separate invoice line amounts for labor and nonlabor transactions
Note:
Revenue and Billing Information
When you enter revenue information for your project, you specify a revenue distribution rule for the revenue accrual method and the billing method for this project. When you enter billing information, you specify invoice formats, bill cycle days, and other invoicing information.
The project type determines which revenue distribution rule appears as the default value for this field, and which other revenue distribution rules you can choose from. Oracle Projects predefines the following revenue distribution rules:
Cost/Cost Accrue revenue and bill using the ratio of actual cost to budgeted cost (percent spent).
Cost/Event Accrue revenue using the ratio of actual cost to budgeted cost (percent spent), and bill based on events.
Cost/Work Accrue revenue using the ratio of actual cost to budgeted cost (percent spent), and bill as work occurs.
Event/Event Accrue revenue and bill based on events.
Event/Work Accrue revenue based on events, and bill as work occurs.
Work/Event Accrue revenue as work occurs, and bill based on events.
Work/Work Accrue revenue and bill as work occurs.
An organization posts project costs to the balance sheet as they are incurred. Each month they recognize project revenue on each project. Select the option that ensures that costs are credited from the balance sheet and debited to profit and loss as revenue is recognized.
A company generates revenue at period end, but bills monthly in arrears. The first project revenue is due to be recognized at the end of May and the first invoice sent to the customer in June. What are the accounting entries at the end of May?
Revenue
Once revenue is created, Oracle Projects runs AutoAccounting to determine the appropriate default accounts. AutoAccounting selects all of the AutoAccounting parameters for each item or event, determines the account coding, validates the account coding against the general ledger, and updates each revenue distribution line with the appropriate default account.

A project manager would like to find out how much event revenue was accrued against a project up to and including a specific date. Where would this information be available?
Project Status Inquiry
You can quickly and easily review the current status of a project, and then drill down for a more detailed review of the project and its tasks. It enables you to search for a project using search criteria. You can review project, task, and resource summary amounts, and actual and commitment amounts using a different resource list.
Oracle Projects maintains various levels of project summary amounts for cost, commitment, revenue, and budget amounts by project, task, and resource. You can review project summary amounts to quickly determine the status of a project, such as reviewing the current and original budgeted amounts and compare them to actual and commitment amounts. You can drill down to see summary amounts for the resources of the project or the selected task. You can select a resource list by which you want to view actuals and budgets. In addition, you can export project status inquiry data into an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis.
