Tasks
Define the Burden Structure Header Information
Your company applies fringe, overhead, and general and administrative burden to various types
of costs. The finance department always uses an additive approach to calculate the burden.
Define the header information for a new additive burden structure and name it XXLabor and
Expenses. Note that your company does not want users to use this structure for overrides.
The finance department wants to apply fringe to labor costs to account for benefits and overhead
to account for human capital management administrative support. Define a labor cost base that
applies both types of burden costs to the following expenditure types:
− Administrative
− Clerical
− Design
− Professional
− Supervision
The finance department also wants to apply general and administrative burden to expense report
costs to account for the cost of using an outside travel agency and overhead to account for
managing the expense reports. Define an expenses cost base that applies both types of burden
costs to the following expenditure types:
− Airfare
− Car Rental
− Hotel
− Meals

Tasks
Define the Burden Schedule Header Information
You need to define a burden schedule to specify the burden multipliers for the cost codes on your
XXLabor and Expenses burden structure. The finance department does not have the final
multipliers at this time, so you must create a provisional burden schedule that will enable you to
specify the actual multipliers when they are available.
Define the header information for the provisional burden schedule and name it XXInternal
Costing. Use the organization hierarchy information as specified in the following table:
Field Value
Hierarchy Global
Version 1
Start Org Vision Corporation
Create the initial version of the schedule. Name the first version and identify the first day of next
month as the start date. You do not have an end date for this version at this time.
Enter the multipliers for each burden cost code. First enter the multipliers for Vision
Corporation, the start organization that you specified for the hierarchy. Costs for operating your
Services-East organization are higher than in other organizations, so the finance department has
provided you with a separate set of provisional multipliers for Services-East. Enter the

Tasks
Perform a Split and a Transfer
Amy Marlin has informed you that she incorrectly charged 10 hours of clerical work for the
week to task 1.1. Amy should have charged 6 hours of the clerical work to task 2.1 and 4 hours
to task 1.1. Adjust the expenditure items on your XX Capital Services project accordingly.
First, change the comment for the expenditure item to indicate that the Amy's supervisor, Donald
Gray, has approved the transfer. Next, split the expenditure item for 10 hours of Amy's clerical
work on task 1.1 into expenditure items of 6 and 4 hours. When you split the expenditure items,
both should remain capitalizable. Finally, transfer 6 hours to task 2.1.
Submit the concurrent program PRC: Distribute Labor Costs for your project to distribute the
adjusted expenditure items. Review the output report.

Second, you transferred the cost to task 3.0. The transfer created a new expenditure item
for task 3.0 and a reversal for the original expenditure item for task 1.2.
Third, you cancelled the invoice in Oracle Payables and interfaced supplier costs to
Oracle Project Costing. The program PRC: Interface Supplier Costs created an
expenditure item to reverse the transferred expenditure item on task 3.0. Oracle
Payables did not know about the adjustment activity in Oracle Project Costing, so the
cancellation created an expenditure item to reverse the original expenditure item for
task 1.2. Because the transfer previously reversed the original expenditure item in
Oracle Project Costing, the interface program created an expenditure item to reverse the
cancellation reversal (appears as a positive expenditure item for task 1.2). The net
outcome is that the total cost is now zero.

The finance department has calculated that they need to allocate a fixed shared cost amount of
100,000.00 USD each month. Use this information to define the source for the allocation rule.
Allocate the costs to your XX Capital Services project. Your project manager has obtained an
exception that exempts task 3.0 of your XX Capital Services project from the allocation. Define
the targets for the allocation rule accordingly.
The finance department wants you to create a transaction on task 8.0 of the Service Center
project to offset the allocation transactions. Use the same expenditure organization, expenditure
type class, and expenditure type for the offset transaction that you use for the allocation
transactions.
The amount that the rule allocates to each chargeable task is based on the actual total burdened

Set the Cost Allocation Method for Your Project
After consulting with your project manager, you have decided that when the generate asset lines
program cannot automatically associate an asset line with a single asset, the program should
spread the asset costs evenly across the assets. Set the cost allocation method on your XX Capital
Services project to Spread Evenly.
In addition, you want to collect common costs on your project and allocate these costs to assets
at a later point in time. Set the grouping level for task 3.0 to Common Costs.

Update Project Summary Amounts
Run the program PRC: Update Project Summary Amounts for a Single Project for your XX
Capital Services project to summarize the costs.
Your project manager has certified that the XXLab Building and XXLab Computer assets are
finished and ready for capitalization. Change the asset type for both assets to As-Built and record
an actual in service date of 31-DEC-2006.
Note: You are entering 31-DEC-2006 in order to demonstrate the interface to Oracle Assets. If
you enter today's date, you will not be able to interface the asset to Oracle Assets because the
asset period is not open.
The costs on your project are final accounted in Oracle Subledger Accounting and the two assets
have in service dates, so you are now ready to generate asset lines for your XX Capital Services
project. To generate asset lines, use today's date as the Asset Date Through and this Sunday's
date as the PA Through Date. You are also ready to include the costs from common cost task 3.0
when you generate asset lines.
Review the output report for the program PRC: Generate Asset Lines for a Single Project.
Review the asset lines for your XX Capital Services project and answer the following questions:
1. Why are all asset lines for task 1.0 assigned to XXLab Building?
2. Why are all asset lines for task 2.0 assigned to XXLab Computer?
3. Why are all asset lines for task 3.0 split between the two assets?
4. Why are the asset lines grouped by expenditure types such as Clerical, Hotel, XXMotor
After completing the asset line analysis, you decide to move some costs on task 3.0 from XXLab
Computer to XXLab Building. Split an asset line assigned to XXLab Computer for task 3.0 and
assign 85% of the cost to XX Lab Building and the remainder to XXLab Computer.
When you are satisfied with the asset lines, you are ready to interface the assets to Oracle Assets.
Submit the program PRC: Interface Assets to Oracle Assets. Ensure that you enter your XXCS
project number in both the From Project Number and To Project Number program parameter
fields.
You can now view your assets in Mass Additions in Oracle Assets. Use the responsibility Assets,
Vision Services (USA). Navigate to the Find Mass Additions window to query the assets for you

2. Why are all asset lines for task 2.0 assigned to XXLab Computer?
Answer: You assigned only XXLab Computer to top task 2.0. As a result, the asset lines
generation program assigned all costs to this asset.
3. Why are all asset lines for task 3.0 split between the two assets?
Answer: You set the grouping level for task 3.0 to Common Costs and assigned Spread
Evenly as the cost allocation method for your project. As a result, the asset lines
generation program divided the capitalizable costs for task 3.0 evenly between the two
eligible assets.
4. Why are the asset lines grouped by expenditure types such as Clerical, Hotel, XXMotor
Pool and Trucks?
Answer: The project type for your project is Construction. The grouping method
assigned to the project type is Expenditure Type. As a result, the asset lines generation
program grouped all costs by the expenditure type associated with the expenditure type
for each capitalizable expenditure item.

Your company plans to calculate capitalized interest for costs incurred when you invest in long-
term capital projects. Define a capitalized interest rate name to represent the interest type that the
finance department plans to capitalize as specified in the following table:
Field Value
Rate Name XXDebt Costs-Local
Description Cost of Borrowings
Expenditure Type Interest
Define additional information for the capitalized interest rate name. For the operating unit Vision
Services, you want the expenditure organization source to be the project owning organization.
Each project must have an Open CIP amount of 10,000.00 and be at least 30 days from the start
date to meet the threshold for calculation of capitalized interest. Select Full as the current period
convention to specify the portion of the current period CIP amount to include in the interest
calculation. Choose to spread the amounts evenly across accounting periods. Finally, assign the
Simple interest method to this capitalized interest rate name.
