Oracle Project Management Page 2

INTRODUCTION Project managers need to monitor and control projects to ensure completion within the scope of

defined budgets, forecasts and schedules. In order to monitor projects, the manager needs to

view comparisons between planned values and actual values. Controlling projects can be

achieved through implementing budgetary controls.

The Project Performance Reporting (PPR) feature in Oracle Project Management (OP) provides

you with the ability to generate comparisons between actual project values versus planned values

defined in your project budgets and forecasts. You can view performance in the areas of effort,

cost, profitability, earned value, billing and collections, or capital costs. PPR can be an important

tool if you decide not to control project performance through budgetary control and budget

integration.

This paper is intended to help you determine the best way to setup and use Project Performance

Reporting. The paper recommends the list of setups and trouble shooting tips to help project

managers use PPR to monitor projects.

You may also refer to information regarding setup and how to use Oracle Project Management in

the standard Oracle User and Implementation Guides.

USING PROJECTS PERFORMANCE REPORTING (PPR)

The information provided by PPR can be used to make informed decisions or take corrective

action based on the performance of the project over the project period. PPR provides at-a-glance

comparisons of actual versus planned performance as defined in project budgets and forecasts.

You can also drill down to detailed transaction information for a performance metric to view

specific transactions such as commitments, expenses and events. Based on comparison values,

the project manager may take corrective actions.

Setup Performance Reporting

Using the Reporting tab, PPR helps the project manager view the progress of the project and

whether the financial health is in line with budget and forecast. Oracle Projects (OP) requires you

to setup specific settings to show data in the Reporting tab for PPR. You should define the actual

metrics you want to track and what you want your users to view on the performance reporting

pages before you start to setup PPR.

Enable Personalization

Use personalization to setup and view specific financial measures or regions in the performance

reporting page under the Reporting tab. For example, if the project is in the initial budgeting

stage, you may want to setup and view only 'Financial Measures’ that show budgeting values and

enable other sections containing measures for 'Actual' or 'Forecast’ after the project has begun.

To use personalization, set the following profile options at the 'responsibility' or 'user' level.

Page 3: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 3

Profile Value

Personalize Self-Service Definition Yes

Disable Self-Service Personal No

Create Seeded Personalization Yes

FND: Personalization WYSIWYG Enabled No

FND: Personalization Seeding mode Yes

FND: Personalization Region Link Enabled Yes

Once you enable personalization, you can personalize the performance reporting page for a user

or a responsibility to view the specific performance metrics or regions that meet your

requirements.

Personalize Your Views

You personalize a view in order to enable or disable regions or measures in the performance

reporting page. To personalize the Performance Overview page, perform the following steps:

Go to Reporting > Performance Overview page

Click on Personalize page link

Select the Personalization Level: Function and click Go

Choose the views corresponding to the 'Performance Overview Region' title

Click ‘Apply’

Click hyperlink ‘Return to the Application ‘

If the row set attached to the view added has retrieved any data for the chosen project

then data is visible.

If the project start and end date fall in same period, you cannot view chart graphs in the

Performance Overview even if you perform all setups and summarization processes. Graphs

require at least two periods. You may use bar graphs in such cases.

Setup Reporting Options

Once you determine the type of performance metrics you want to track for your project and

enable them through personalization, you determine how to manage the data shown in

performance reporting page using the Project Performance Setup page. Use the guidelines below

to setup your options:

Planning Amount Allocation

If you decide to use project calendars that have different durations, you must decide how to

allocate budget amounts for performance reporting. When you use this option you select how

planned amounts (eg, budgets, forecasts) are allocated between period types of differing

duration. You must select one of the following options:

Daily Pro-Ration

Period Start Date

Period End Date

When you choose the Period Start Date method, OP allocates the total monthly general ledger

(G/L) amounts to the PA period (ie, project period) in which the start date of the G/L period lies. If

you want to report the amounts in G/L at the end of the period, you select Period End Date. The

Daily Pro-Ration option spreads the amounts over each day in the specified period.

Page 4: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 4

Currencies

In order to compare and report projects that transact in more than one currency, you may want to

view performance metrics in a secondary global currency. You can also view metrics in the

transaction currency to support local reporting requirements. When the PPR data summarization

process runs to calculate performance metrics, the program processes data for each currency type

enabled under this option. Consider a business case where reporting data needs to be viewed in

the currency in which transactions are entered. In such cases, you can view performance

reporting data in the transaction currency by selecting the transaction currency option.

Plan Amount Conversions

To provide equal comparisons across plan types, you may want to use the same date and rate for

conversion of plan amounts across all plan types for PPR. This will provide uniformity across

budgeting functions and the figures would NOT be affected due to different rates used by

different businesses within same organization.

When you select the 'First Day of Planning Period' option, all foreign-currency planning amounts

are converted at rates applicable on the first day of planning period. Using the same date and rate

allows you to avoid rate fluctuations and also to avoid different rates being used by different

users.

Current Reporting Period

When you use PPR, you need to set the reporting period from which to show the data. Data from

other periods is not shown in the reporting page.

You select an option for the period you want to designate as the current reporting period for each

calendar: Global Calendar, PA Calendar and G/L calendar. You may select any of the following

options: Last Open Period, First Open Period, Last Closed Period, Prior Period, Current Period,

and Specific Period. You cannot select Last Open Period, First Open Period and Last Closed

Period for Global Calendar. If you select Specific Period then you must setup current reporting

period under System Setup Options at Operating Unit Level.

Data Processing Controls

The data to summarize and report may be extensive and can lengthen the processing time. To

streamline the processing time of the PPR summarization processes, you can setup the program

to include or not include certain types of data:

Data defined for time phasing periods (data spread over project periods)

Data from work plan amounts

Data for 'non-current' and 'non-original' budgets

Select the values to include or exclude data you do not need in your performance metrics. The

summarization process selects the data to summarize and report based on the selections in these

options.

Define Performance Reporting Page Layouts

To determine how to group data into logical sections or regions for easier analysis and drill-

down, you define page layouts you want to see in the performance reporting page. Page layouts

determine how you view measures and in which region to view them.

Page 5: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 5

To configure regions in the project Reporting tab, define page layout sections for any of the

reporting pages such as the Status Report, Task Analysis, Task Details or Resource Summary

pages. Each page consists of one or more sections.

If the ‚Update Sections‛ button is not available or if the button is disabled, perform the following

steps:

1. Select the ‘personalization’ hyperlink.

2. Select icon for appropriate function, eg ‘button update’

3. Select value ‘true’ for context ‘rendered’ at responsibility level or

organization level or site level depending on your security

requirements.

4. Select sections as required in the ‘select sections’ window.

Page layout for the Performance Overview page can be defined through personalization.

Other PPR Related Setups

You may also need to setup the following options to generate your performance reporting data

correctly:

BIS Period: This option determines the period used for project reporting.

Define calendars for the periods in which actuals need to be entered.

Setup currencies and conversion rates that are valid for the periods in which actuals need

to be entered if you transact in multiple currencies.

Setup the Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) appropriately for the data you need to

view in the correct reporting format, eg, by expense category or by organization, etc. At

least one RBS should be marked as ‘Primary’ for reporting purposes. See the section

below, ‚Using Resource Breakdown Structures with PPR‛ for more information on RBS

setup.

Setup the correct secondary global currency if you want to view performance reporting

data in a single global currency.

If you need to view data in different periods, you must define additional calendars that

may be monthly (fiscal) or weekly (PA).

USING RESOURCE BREAKDOWN STRUCTURES WITH PPR In order to aggregate your project reports by resource, you assign a Resource Breakdown

Structure (RBS) to a project. Transactions are aggregated in your reports based on the hierarchy

defined in the RBS. The resource breakdown structure consists of one or more hierarchies of

resource elements. A resource element can be one of two types:

Resource Type = A class of resource such as a job or organization

Resource = A specific combination of a resource type and a resource, such as the job of

Principal Consultant or a person named Amy Marlin.

Transactions are associated with the RBS element for use in summarizing performance data in

PPR.

Each transaction is assigned a resource element from the RBS based upon rules you define that

map actual and planned project transactions to the RBS elements.

Page 6: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 6

While aggregated values are used for other reporting purposes, you can view RBS aggregated

values in the ‚Resource Summary‛ page of the project Reporting tab.

Resource or Resource Type RBS Elements

The RBS elements can be represented as either resources or resource types. When you know

exactly what resources you plan to use and can define them in the RBS, you can use resources as

elements. For each new resource you use on your project, you add the resource to the RBS.

Resources are not added to the RBS for you.

If you do not know the resources you plan to use, you can use a resource type. When transactions

are created for a project, the matching is done to the resource type and the RBS is updated

automatically with any new resources. For example, you may know that you want to report by

Organization and then by People in the organization, but you do not know which organizations

and people are planned until they are used in transactions. As the transactions are incurred for

the project, transactions are mapped to the RBS and new resources are added. Using resource

types simplifies the implementation of the RBS.

RBS Definitions

You decide how the matching works to assign a resource element to each project transaction by

determine the RBS type. You choose one of the following RBS definitions:

Instance Based: If the RBS is made up of resources, the matching process finds the

element to which the transaction maps and associates a specific resource element to the

transaction.

Rule Based: If the RBS has rules as elements, the matching process finds the rule to which

the transaction matches and adds a resource at the rule level to create new elements in

the RBS. The new resource element is associated to the transaction.

RBS Mapping Rules

When you setup RBS Mapping Rules, you specify a node in the resource hierarchy to which a

planned or actual transaction can be mapped based upon pre-defined precedence rules. For a

given transaction, corresponding resource attributes are used to determine the element in the RBS

with similar attributes. If they are matched, the transactions are associated to the RBS hierarchy

based on the matched element. Otherwise, new elements are created for the project’s RBS.

RBS Matching Logic

When transactions are processed, the matching process uses the following logic:

If the RBS is made up of resources, the process finds the element to which the transaction

maps and assigns the correct RBS element to the transaction.

If the RBS has rules as elements, the process finds the rule to which the transaction

matches and creates a new resource element in the RBS at the rule level. The new

resource element is associated to the transaction.

If the transaction maps to more than one element in the RBS, the processes use the

precedence rules to select only one element to associate to the transaction.

The mapping process selects the lowest level element in the RBS to map to the

transaction.

Page 7: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 7

If there is more than one level to which the transaction maps, the process matches only

one of the elements based on the precedence of the element. The precedence of the

element is the sum of its own precedence and all its parents’ precedence.

FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are common resolutions used when summarization processes have performance issues?

1. Free up the temporary table space

2. Increase the size of temporary table space with more free space available to improve

the performance of delete process.

3. Increase the db_cache_size to more than 1GB.

4. Set the value for the option "Planning Amount Allocation Method" as 'Period

Start/End Date' instead of 'Daily Pro-Ration'

5. Ensure that all setups are defined.

6. If load processes end in error, try increasing table space in PPS_TS_INTERFACE

Should the Remaining Cost in View Workplan Cost page show as Total Cost - Actual Cost?

The remaining effort and remaining cost need not always be an arithmetic difference between

total effort and actual effort and total cost and actual cost, respectively. Remaining Effort is taken

from ETC Effort and Remaining Cost is from ETC Cost.

Example 1: Effort in Hours and Cost is USD. Planned Effort is 100, Planned Cost is 1000,

Actual Effort is 60 and ETC Effort is 40 (ETC=Planned-Actual) Actual Cost is 6000 and

ETC Cost is 4000. In this situation remaining effort and remaining cost are shown as the

columns ETC effort and ETC cost so they are shown as 40 and 4000, respectively.

Example 2: If ETC is updated in the published version from 40 to 50, then remaining

effort is shown as 50 and remaining cost is shown as 5000 even though Total Effort is 100

and Actual Effort is 60 and Total Cost is 10000 and Actual Cost is 6000

How do I create new regions in the Reporting tab?

The way to create new page layouts for Performance Overview page is as follows:

1) Navigate to Project Superuser responsibility

2) Go to Project --> Setup --> Page Layouts

3) In the top right corner, you can see the drop down list 'Create Page'. Select the value

'Performance Overview' from the list and click on Go.

4) On the next screen, enter the relevant responsibility/function details and create your new

layout. You can now add desired content in this layout.

When and how is Commitments data available in PSI?

Purchase Orders, Requisitions and Supplier Invoices are considered commitments. All other

transactions are not considered commitments. To see commitments in Project Status Inquiry you

need to run "PRC: Update Project Summary Amounts‛ after running 'PRC: Update Project and

Resource Base Summary'.

Page 8: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 8

When you run PRC: Update Project and Resource Base Summaries with extract commitments set

to ‚Yes‛ it creates data in transaction tables.

When you run PRC: Update Project Summary Amounts the commitment transactions are added

to a table that summarizes and aggregates details for viewing.

Future dated (transaction date > sysdate) transactions/commitments will not be shown in the

Performance Reporting Page if the conversion rates are not defined for those periods.

How can I remove Effort, Earned Value and Billability sections?

1) Open a project

2) Go to the Reporting tab

3) Click on 'Personalize Page' link on the top right hand corner

4) In Personalization Level LOV, Select the Function: Projects : Reporting : Default Contracts

Project Layout

5) Click on 'Go'

6) Click on 'Content' sub-tab

7) Here you can see all the regions displayed on the 'Performance Overview' page. You can

add/remove any of the flexible regions by clicking on Green Plus/Red Cross symbols

respectively.

8) To remove sections, such as Effort, Earned Value and Billability, click on the Red Cross

symbol for these 3 regions from the Personalization page.

9) To add the section back, click on + icon to get list of contents which can be added. Then

you can select the regions under the contents by checking the view name button.

Why is Commitment data not captured by the summarization processes or not rolled up in

Performance Overview page or Task Summary page?

Only Purchase orders, Requisitions and Supplier Invoices are considered

commitments, all other transactions are not considered commitments.

Ensure that setup in inventory module is done properly, such as item category,

category codes, category sets.

Check that commitment dates are within enterprise calendar, GL calendar range, PA

calendar range.

Check that periods are defined for commitment promised dates and need by dates as

entered in purchasing modules.

If the commitments are in foreign currency, then ensure that currency conversion

rates exist on the commitment dates.

Check that ‘material’ is added as expenditure type in resource class and is associated

with the item category set.

What commitment data is shown in PSI v/s PPR?

Future dated commitments will be converted into project/project functional

currencies with the exchange rate specified on the date when summarization is run.

Only ITD commitment values are shown and PTD values are not shown.

In Reporting tab, the Total Committed Cost will show the total commitment value on

Performance Reporting pages irrespective of any Current Reporting Period. This is

the only measure whose value is not driven by current reporting period. Hence it will

also match with PSI.

Page 9: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 9

The future dated commitments will use the rate on sysdate for conversions after the

fix of bug 6709058.

Commitments are completely refreshed in every summarization run. Hence they will

always show the current total values only.

PPR and PSI data for commitments are not comparable. These are 2 independent

tools for data summarization. However it should always match the total

commitments from the core transaction system.

What steps should be followed to view data based on a newly defined RBS?

Create a new version of Resource Breakdown structures

Create Project

Assign the RBS to Project Financial Plans

Modify the RBS to newer version and freeze and run following concurrent programs

Run the Program PRC: Process Resource Breakdown Structure Updates

When and why should Plan Type: FP.M Work Plan Upgrade (Seeded) be used as parameter in the

process PRC: Update/Refresh Project Performance Data?

This plan type is used only for upgrading a workplan as a plan type to the project. This should be

used only during the Upgrade from pre family-pack M patchset level to M. It should not be used

every time you run the process. The value for the parameter could be null also to refresh or

update data for all plan types.

What steps should be followed to detach old RBS and enable new RBS from workplan or

financial plan?

In order to detach the RBS and re-enable the same perform the below steps:

Navigate to the Workplan -> Setup -> Plan Settings

In the Reporting and Display - Resource Breakdown Structure LOV, choose a blank value

and click Apply

Navigate to the Financial Plan -> Setup -> Plan Settings

In the Display - Resource Breakdown Structure LOV, choose a blank value and click

Apply

Now Navigate to Project Home page - Setup -> Resource Breakdown Structures

When seen on the usages tab both workplan and financial plan should be unchecked

Now detach both the RBS from the project and click Apply

Navigate back to the same page and attach the same RBS to the Project

Choose the same RBS for viewing the resources data in the workplan and financial plan

setup page as navigated earlier

Does Refresh Project Performance Data process refresh cost rates as well?

'Refresh Cost rates' should be run to refresh the cost rates. Refresh Project Performance Data does

not refresh the cost rates. AMG API "PA_FP_CALC_PLAN_PUB.REFRESH_RATES API" can be

used for refreshing cost/bill rates and conversion rates.

Also to note the difference between 'Calculate Budget' and 'Refresh Cost Rates' in the Edit Budget

page for a budget plan version. Clicking the Calculate Budget button will calculate the amounts

for the budget lines by applying the rates to the quantity versus refreshing the cost rates for the

planning elements will re-derive the rates from the rate engine and use this to calculate the

amounts.

Oracle Project Management Page 10

What is behavior behind showing graphs in Periodic Summary page?

The logic determines if the number of periods is more than 12, the data will be shown in quarters

and if quarters exceed 12, then it will be shown in year. If we have n periods they are divided by

12 (n/12) and the x-axis shows the periods in terms of n/12. (If n/12 is a decimal value, then the

next whole number is taken).

Example: If we have 16 periods, then 16/12 = 1.33. Next whole number is 2.

Hence the x-axis will show periods in terms of 2.

This calculation is done so that number of periods we show in X axis doesn’t exceed 12. Where

Periodic Summary has data from Jan-2003 till April 2004 we have 16 monthly periods and 71 PA

Periods. When the calendar selected is "GL" and period filter is "Period", the data in the table are

shown in periods - Jan-03, Feb-03, Mar-03, Apr-03 ... But the Graphs are shown in Quarters - Q1-

03, Q2-03, Q3-03 ...etc.

Why do forecast values differ between Performance Overview page and Financials page?

The forecast figure is different on the Performance Overview Page because it is the ITD figure. It

depends on the 'Current Reporting Period' setup on the page. If you have some future-dated

amounts planned for Forecast these amounts are not being considered for ITD values. The

Overview page has the facility to show the ITD and PTD values. The ITD values would be the

same as the full planned amounts only if there is no future dated amounts. There are At-

Completion figures populated with the full amounts. Use this to view the amounts for right

calculations.

How are ETC figures calculated in reporting tab?

ETC = Total Forecast Burdened Cost - ITD Actual Burdened Cost

When and how do I see the impact of RBS on PPR?

For a newly created RBS attached to a project: After the first snapshot of the version, run

Update Project Performance Data program for the project to populate data in Resource

Summary screen

For subsequent RBS structure changes: After subsequent snapshots of new versions,

running Update Resource Breakdown Structure program populates data in Resource

summary screen

For an existing RBS (unattached to any project): Attach the RBS to any project and run

Update Project Performance Data program for the project to populate data in Resource

Summary screen

On any RBS structure change: Run the RBS Structure Update program to update the

latest version number on all the attached projects

What tables are updated after the summarization processes runs for a program and its

associated projects?

Please refer bug 8838271 for details

Why do the summarizations processes not process actual transactions?

Page 11: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 11

The GL calendar name and the BIS: Period type should have same period type as for the actual

transactions and then run the series of processes as listed in question below. If forecast pages do

not show actuals, then ensure that planning options are defined for the forecast plan type.

What business processes should not be conducted when summarization processes are running for

a project?

Publish Workplan

Baseline Budget

Changing program structure.

Process Structure Updates

Setting RBS to current

If summarization processes are already running for projects that are part of program and

the program is attempted to be updated.

Do not cancel a request a request, if done the project gets locked for which process is run,

only when process is completed successfully, the lock goes off.

What steps should be followed to run the load and other summarization processes together? Or

what steps should be followed if Load Processes end in error?

If the load processes have ended in error, then subsequent summarization processes will not fetch

values. Try the following steps:

Set profile PJI: Truncate PJI Summary Tables to Yes

Run PRC: Delete Project Intelligence and Performance Reporting Data with parameter set

to Yes

Set profile PJI: Truncate PJI Summary Tables set with parameter to Yes

Run "PRC: Delete Project Intelligence Data" with parameter "Yes"

Run PRC: Delete Project Performance Reporting Data with upgrade parameter set to Yes

Set up Mandatory Global (BIS) Profiles:

- BIS: Global: Start Date

- BIS: Primary Currency

- BIS: Primary Rate Type

- BIS: Enterprise Calendar

- BIS: Period Type

Perform Setup (mandatory) or Change (Optional)for the project performance reporting

setup.

Run PRC: Load Project and Resource Base Summaries with the ‘Extract Commitments‛

parameter set to No. (Performs initial load of actuals into base level summary tables)

Run "PRC: Load Project and Resource Base Summaries" with the ‘Extract Commitments‛

parameter set to Yes. (Performs initial load of commitments into base level summary

tables)

- Set the value of the profile option 'PJI: Number of Parallel Extraction Programs'

based on the number of CPUs. This will spawn these many parallel processes

reducing the overall processing time.

- Standard Manager should be set to a value high enough so that the above number

of processes can be spawned concurrently. After the above process is run, all the

actuals transaction will be accumulated for all the projects. The data can be verified

in the tables

Page 12: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 12

Run PRC: Load Project Performance Data - run it based on operating unit or project

range to process small range of project at a time. (Performs initial load of actuals into

project performance summary tables)

Run PRC: Load Project Intelligence Data (PJI)

Run PRC: Update Project Performance Data - run it based on operating unit or project

range to process small range of project at a time (This process serves a different purpose

that usual only when existing customers upgrade from earlier version of Oracle Projects

to Family Pack M. The process creates report data in enterprise calendar and currency

data for financial plans

How are ITD, PTD, YTD and QTD values calculated with reference to Current Reporting Period

(CRP) in PPR?

ITD: Inception to date - ITD values are from inception to sysdate and not the reporting period

end date.

PTD: Period to Date - From beginning of respective period to Current Reporting period end date.

YTD: Year to Date - From beginning of the immediately preceding year to Current Reporting

period end date

QTD: Quarter to Date – From beginning of the quarter in which Current Reporting Period lies to

Current Reporting period end date

What are the conditions to see ‘Percent Complete’ roll-up to project level on project list page?

Workplan page shows ‘Percent Complete’ figures of individual task whereas Project List page can

be setup to show ‘Percent Complete’ figures at project level. For computing the whole project's

percent complete figures, Performance Reporting module SHOULD be installed and

summarization processes need to be run to populate these figures. They cannot be viewed

otherwise. And the computed figures are usually shown only the Performance Reporting pages,

nowhere else. Even custom measures would not fetch values if Performance Reporting module

were not installed.

How and when to use "UPG: Upgrade Resource List To Planning Resource List" process?

Following steps may be followed to

Create Resource list in forms with single expenditure type

Upgrade the resource list

Check that resource list has now 4 new resources with names People, Material Items,

Equipment, Financial Elements and the existing resource.

Use this resource list for planning.

Always select the Cash Expenses as the resources to plan amounts against tasks in

Approved Revenue budget. This way you can see the revenue amounts in old model and

new model summarizations.

The process to upgrade resource lists to planning resource lists is "UPG: Upgrade Resource List

To Planning Resource List". Use this process and not PRC: Process Resource Breakdown Structure

Updates. The latter process is to process all the changes done to an RBS and this is used to view

data on the Reporting pages.

What is difference between old summarization model and new summarization model?

The old model summarization (PSI) can summarize only the budgets that were entered against

the resources created in forms or created in forms and upgraded. It can't handle the resources

created in new model. For Forms based budget, PSI screens are to be used and for financial plans

Page 13: Troubleshooting Guide for Project Performance Reporting

Oracle Project Management Page 13

made via SSWA, Reporting screens are to be used.

If a project were to have both old model budgets and new model budgets then you should

upgrade the budgets to plan types and use the reporting screens alone.

As you can find resource details in PSI screen, the same can be seen in Performance Reporting

pages at Project-> Reporting -> Resource Summary Page

As you can find task-wise details in PSI screen, the same can be seen in Performance Reporting

pages at Project -> Reporting -> Task Summary Page
