Introduction Background This document has been designed to assist in the configuration of PeopleSoft Projects V84. Information gathered during the Design phase of the project where each of the major ordering processes were analyzed and documented in Subject Matter Lead documents can be translated to PeopleSoft terminology through this document. Key business decisions that support values recorded to configure the PeopleSoft Project Costing module can be documented and this workbook will help with knowledge transfer and post implementation maintenance. How to use this document? This document has been designed to replicate most of the PeopleSoft pages that require configuration. The primary source for completing the tables in this workbook is the Subject Matter Specialist’s documents completed by key Projects users. Business decisions documented in the SMS’s along with PeopleSoft Project knowledge will be required to complete the tables in this workbook. Individuals completing this document should have a good understanding of the following: • Projects process at the University of Florida • High-Level functionality and data sources of the legacy application • General Accounting environment and functionality of PeopleSoft Projects

This document can also be used as a source in designing test scripts during the Acceptance testing phase of the implementation project. Recording the values assigned and configuration options selected by Time Warner Cable will help in post implementation maintenance. Sign-off

Section 1: Projects Setup

1.1 CREATE PROJECTS – PROJECT DEFINITION

1.1.1 CREATE PROJECTS BUSINESS UNIT Once you’ve mapped out your business structure and determined what TableSets you’ll use, you can add business units to your PeopleSoft Projects system. Keep the following in mind as you determine how many Projects business units you need to create:

• Each project tree is associated with a single business unit. Therefore, if you want to have a group of projects in one tree, be sure to place all of those projects in the same Projects business unit.

• A single Projects business unit can post to as many general ledger business units as necessary. • Each project tree has its own security. Using this security, you can keep users from seeing entire trees or just specific nodes.

2.0 SETUP – PRODUCT RELATED 2.1 Installation Options 2.1.1 ORGANIZATION HIERACY The first step in setting up Accounting for Projects that use transorganizational accounting and/or sharing is to define the organizational hierarchy. Hierarchies are used to determine which rules apply to a given situation. The organization can be as simple as a General Ledger Business Unit (GLBU, which is the minimum required), or it can be broken down further into four additional groups and subgroups using general ledger ChartFields to designate each organizational entity. This allows different rules to be applied (for accounting across or sharing between entities) to organizational entities depending on their size.

In the following example, the organization is defined first by the General Ledger Business Unit, then by operating unit and department.

Example of an organizational hierarchy

In determining the accounting rules that are applied to a human resource working on a project in another part of the company, the General Ledger Business Unit is always first in the organizational hierarchy. A human resource from one GLBU working in another GLBU always follows inter-business unit rules, regardless of the departments and operating units involved.

Using the example in the diagram above:

28

• If an employee from the Chicago operating unit works on a project in the London operating unit, inter-business unit accounting rules apply because the two operating units are in different GLBUs.

• If an employee from the Chicago operating unit works on a project in the Los Angeles operating unit, inter-operating unit accounting rules apply because the operating units are in the same GLBU.

• If an employee from the Human Resources department in Chicago works in the Financial department in Chicago, inter-department accounting rules apply because both departments belong to the same Operating Unit and to the same GLBU.

2.2.1 EVENTS A project event is defined as a change in the status of a project or an activity. For example, a change in status from Proposed to Approved can be defined as a project event that requires approval. A project event can be a change in status between two consecutive status types such as Proposed and Approved or two nonconsecutive status types such as Proposed and Closed. Status types must be defined before defining project events.

2.2.3 DEFINE PROJECT ROLES Project Roles help to separate the actual security definition from a User or Permission List. Once an access type (read/write access) is defined for a Role, all Users or Permission-Lists attached to that Role acquire that access type. Access to Projects, Activities and Analysis Groups can be defined at the Project Role level. In addition to no access and read/write access, read only access can also be defined for Projects and Activities which will enable you to view Project data but be restricted from modifying it. You can determine which resource transactions are visible throughout your Projects system by setting up security based on an Analysis Group. Analysis Group security is defined as part of the Project Role. At the Role level, you can select a list of Analysis Groups that users attached to the role have access to. This helps to secure the resource transactions. Navigation: Setup Financials/Supply Chain > Product Related > Projects > Project Options > Project Roles > Add a New Value

2.2.4 DEFINE PROJECT TYPES Project Types are labels for grouping projects. For example, you may have construction projects, maintenance projects, and capital projects. Setting up project types and assigning them to projects enables you to analyze all projects of a certain type in relation to one another and allows you to assign specific accounting entries for each project type.

2.2.5 PROJECT TYPE STATUS PATH STATUS PATHS REPRESENT PRE-DEFINED STATES A PROJECT OR ACTIVITY CAN GO THROUGH OVER THE COURSE OF ITS LIFE. For example, when a project first opens, it may be set to a status of Proposal. The status may change from Proposal to Open if a contract is won, or from Proposal to Closed-Lost Bid if a contract is lost. A project cannot go directly to On-Hold status from the Proposal status. If the project status is Closed, activities are locked and no changes to the status are allowed.

2.2.6 DEFINE INTEGRATION TEMPLATES Before you can begin to track projects and the costs associated with them, you must define your Integration Templates. Integration templates are high level templates that define the integration between PeopleSoft Projects and your other financial applications. For each integration template you create, you define a specific set of business units from your other financial applications. These are the default business units with which projects using that integration template will interact. You assign each new project an integration template containing this preset

information. Integration templates are also used to restrict access to general ledger business units. Resource transactions for a project can only be posted to a general ledger business unit specified in the integration template assigned to that project. If you want to prevent users from adding resource transactions to a project, select an integration template for which you have defined no general ledger business units. Note: Each project must be assigned an integration template.

From the GL Integration Detail panel you can assign a single general ledger business unit, multiple general ledger business units, or joint ventures. Joint ventures are projects in which costs are shared by more than one entity, internally or externally. Joint ventures require that more than one general ledger business unit be assigned to an integration template. Each project you create in Projects is assigned an integration template, and each resource transaction that you add to that project must contain the general ledger business unit if that transaction will eventually be posted to the general ledger. Resource transactions for a project can only be posted to a general ledger business unit specified in the integration template assigned to that project.

Status types are one character, alphanumeric identifiers used to track changes in the status of your projects and activities. You also use status types for defining Project Events which are the actual changes in status that require approval. In the Status Types panel you define the status types that you want to use for your projects and activities. Some examples of status types might be: proposed, open, closed, or on hold. You'll also use this panel to set control actions to limit transactions coming into Projects from cost feeder applications.

2.4.1 DEFINE ANALYSIS TYPES Analysis types enable you to differentiate types of transactions in your system for reporting and cost analysis purposes. Analysis types are one of the few required keys in your PeopleSoft Projects system. Analysis types are assigned to individual resource rows in order to track costs as they move through different stages of a project. Analysis types are essential for any type of reporting, analysis, or calculation you want to do with Projects, and are also required for integration between Projects and other PeopleSoft applications. PeopleSoft suggests that you utilize TableSet sharing to create one set of analysis types that is used throughout your Projects system.

2.4.2 DEFINE ANALYSIS GROUPS One of the most flexible tools within Projects for analyzing projects is analysis groups. With analysis groups you can group analysis types and define relationships among them in order to analyze the costs in a project. Once you have created your own custom analysis groups, use them with the Projects panels, queries or reports to analyze your projects. Creating an analysis group to be used for analyzing projects is basically a two-step process.

1. Group the analysis types that you want to include in your analysis of the project. 2. Apply the appropriate multiplier to each analysis type to create a relationship.

A multiplier determines how the amounts and quantities for a specific analysis type are to be factored into the analysis. The total quantities and amounts in all transactions identified by a specific analysis type are multiplied by the number you enter. For example, if you want to add the amounts to the analysis, enter a 1; if you want to subtract the costs from the analysis, enter a -1; if you only want to add half of the amounts to the analysis, enter .5. The easiest way to create analysis groups for analyzing projects is to start by writing out the equation you want to use. This often makes it easier to determine which multipliers you should assign to which analysis types. For instance, if you want to create an analysis group to determine whether or not you are over budget, you might write out the following equation: Budgets - Actuals = Budget to Actual Variance You would then assign a multiplier of -1 to the Actuals analysis type and a multiplier of 1 to the Budgets analysis type. When you use this analysis group for on-line analysis or reporting, all of the actual costs from the project you are analyzing are subtracted from the budgeted costs. If the result is a negative number you know that you are over budget. You could also set up the analysis group so that a positive number means that you are over budget. To do so you would simply reverse the multipliers so that the budgeted costs are subtracted from the actual costs. Multipliers can be applied to quantities for each analysis type that you include in an analysis group. For those analysis groups that you create for the purpose of analyzing your project costs you will probably want the multipliers to be the same for both the amount and the quantity.

2.4.3 DEFINE RESOURCE TYPES Resources are the heart and soul of your Projects system. They enable you to track, analyze, and report on all costs, both actual and planned, in your projects. Resource types are assigned to individual resources to identify what individual transactions are for. Your resource types may be as general or as specific as you like depending on your needs. For example, you can create a resource type of labor to track total labor costs in your projects, or you can create resource types of overtime labor and standard labor to track overtime and standard labor separately. Resource Categories and Resource Subcategories enable you to identify your resources at a very granular level. Therefore, you may want to create resource types that are more general. On the other hand, Resource Groups enable you to define your resource types very specifically and then group them together for reporting and analysis. Thoroughly map out your needs using Resource Types, Resource Categories, Resource Subcategories, and Resource Groups before actually creating them.

2.4.4 DEFINE RESOURCE CATEGORIES Resource Categories and Resource Subcategories provide you with additional levels at which to define and track your resources. For example, you may have a general resource type of LABOR, but you want to track that labor more specifically. By creating resource categories you can track different types of labor such as architect labor, carpenter labor, plumber labor, and electrician labor. You could then create resource subcategories of standard labor and overtime labor. Using the resource types, resource categories, and resource subcategories in this example you could easily calculate total labor costs for a project, total overtime hours, architect overtime hours, or carpenter standard hours. Resource categories and resource subcategories are optional. How you identify your resources has a direct effect on how your transactions can be broken down for tracking and reporting purposes.

Accounting Rules page

In the top section, define the criteria for an incoming transaction to follow these rules.

Resource GL Bus Unit General Ledger business unit that owns the human resource. This field cannot be left as a wildcard.

Journal Template Specify which journal template to attach to accounting entries when they are sent to the general ledger system. This field is required. For revenue-generating accounting rules controlled by PeopleSoft Contracts, the CA_PC journal template is recommended.

Ledger Group (optional) If left blank, the default Ledger Group of the general ledger business unit is used.

Copy Accounting Entries To...

Click to copy the Accounting Entries specified in the Accounting Entries group box for use with another set of header criteria.

PeopleSoft General Ledger PeopleBook, "Defining Your Operational Structure" Defining General Ledger Business Units

Inter-Organizational Level

This group box is used for setting up accounting rules for Transorganizational or Organizational-Sharing and is enabled by checking the Use Organization box on the Installation Options - Projects page. If defining accounting rules for straight accounting, leave the Use Organization box clear and ignore this section.

Use the Inter-Organizational Level section to further define accounting entries to be created.

For example, if the organization is defined to include GL Business Unit, Operating Unit, and Department in that order, the following options are available for selection:

98

Level 1 Inter-business unit. Accounting entries specified under this inter-organizational level are used when an employee is in a different general ledger unit than the project's general ledger unit.

Level 2 Inter-operating unit. Accounting entries specified under this inter-organizational level are used when an employee from one operating unit works on a project owned by another operating unit belonging to the same general ledger unit.

Level 3 Inter-department. Accounting entries specified under this inter-organizational level are used when an employee from one department works in another department and both the general ledger unit and operating unit are the same.

DFLT Default. Used when the human resource (employee or consultant) and project organizations are the same or when organizational levels do not need to be distinguished from one another. After analyzing the relationship between the project organization and the resource organization, the Accounting Rules Engine looks for a rule established for that relationship. If none exists, it uses the Default rule. If no default exists, no accounting entry lines are generated.

For example, when an employee working in another department within the same general ledger unit submits an expense transaction, the system checks to see if there is an accounting rule at the inter-department level. If no rule exists, the system checks to see if there is a default rule. It is recommended that a default accounting rule always be in place for inter-organizational level accounting entries.

See Also

Accounting Entries

Define the accounting debits and credits to create for the specified source transaction. There must be an equal number of debits and credits. When defining Accounting Rules for billable activity, one Unbilled Accounts Receivable (UAR) accounting distribution must be specified. This accounting distribution is stamped on the row when it is sent to PeopleSoft Billing. If no UAR is established, the row is not sent to the billing system.

During the Accounting Rules Engine process, all transactions are converted to currency based on the general ledger.

Entries are specified as follows:

Seq# (sequence number) The sequence in which these accounting lines are applied. The sequence number groups the DR/CR together and is used to determine whether InterUnit entries should be created. Note. Do not specify InterUnit entries on the Accounting Rules page Because it will result in double entries.

DR/CR (debit/credit) Designates whether this accounting line is a debit or credit.

Acct Type (account type) Select the type of accounting entry from the list of available options. UAR will be sent to Billing.

BI Unit (billing unit) This field appears only if the account type is UAR. Note: The selected Billing Business Unit must point to the GL unit used in the accounting entry, either the resource GL Unit or

99

Project GL Unit. This edit ensures that your receivables accounting entries are booked to the same General Ledger Business Unit as your unbilled receivables account.

Note. Prepaid Utilization rows—rows with an Analysis Type of UTL and UAJ—are not handled in the Accounting Rules setup. UTLs are generated by PeopleSoft Contracts and sent to the Billing Engine when a prepayment is utilized. PeopleSoft Billing generates UAJs. The accounting for utilization rows are handled separately by the Accounting Rules Engine. Deferred revenue is debited from the Prepaid Accounting setup and UAR is credited. The UAR is populated on the UTL and UAJ rows from the BIL rows that are sent to the billing system.

Note. Retainage (RRT, BRT), Deferrals (DEF) and Over the Limit (OLT) rows must be set up for these types of processing. These rows are not accounted for in the Accounting Rules Engine, but they require a UAR accounting distribution in order to be sent to PeopleSoft Billing.

2.5.2 Asset Profile

Asset Level Defaults

Asset Class Type of assets covered by this profile.

Acquisition Code Tracks how the asset was acquired.

Taggable

100

Capitalized Asset Check to indicate whether this profile is used for assets that are associated with cost and depreciation. Most assets in an asset management system are capitalized assets.

Taggable Asset Check if an asset is taggable. Most physical assets are assigned a numbered tag for tracking purposes. Some assets, such as buildings or leasehold improvements, are not tagged.

2.5.3 Budget Items Project managers can create budgets for their projects and perform budget-to-cost variance analysis over defined time spans. Creating a budget for a project is a four-step process:

1. Define budget items on the Budget Items page. Budget items provide a way of placing resource transactions into groups to be used when reviewing a project activity's budget-to-cost variance for a given period.

2. Create budget plans on the Project Budgets page. Use this page to enter budget scenarios for the project. This page provides high level definitions, in terms of time and total budget, of each project budget being considered.

3. Define each budget plan on the Budget Detail page. This page is used to define a specified project budget at a greater level of detail using the budget items created earlier.

4. Finalize a budget by choosing a single budget plan. This initiates the process of sending budget data from the plan to the PROJ_RESOURCE table

Personalize Click to open the Personalize Column and Sort Order page. The Personalize Column and Sort Order page is used to specify the

criteria and order in which each will appear on the Budget Items page.

Budget Items Each budget item must have a unique ID.

102

More than one budget plan can be created for a project on the Project Budgets page.

Plan ID Identifies a budget plan for a given project. Once the plan is saved, this field is display only.

Period The budget period identifies the interval in which the budget plan will be tracked.

Num Period Defines the number of periods for the budget plan. The maximum allowed is 52, regardless of the value in the Period field.

Status Plan status is a display only field and defaults to Inactive. The plan status is changed to Active when the finalization process is completed successfully. Only one budget plan may be active at any given time. If the user changes a budget plan after it has been finalized, the user must press the Re-Finalize button to send updated information to PROJ_RESOURCE. If the user presses Save instead of Re-Finalize, the status of the budget plan will be changed to Modified. This indicates that the budget plan has been modified and is no longer in sync with PROJ_RESOURCE information. In such cases, the budget plan should be re-finalized.

An Type Analysis type used when writing rows to PROJ_RESOURCE during the finalization process.

Detail Link to the Budget Detail page for the given plan.

Finalize/Re-Finalize Saves the data and initiates the finalization process for a completed budget plan.

Delete Only inactive plans may be deleted. When a plan is deleted, all corresponding budget detail data for the plan is also deleted.

103

Defining a Budget Plan

Access the Budget Detail page. Select an Activity ID and click Modify Budget to view budgeted amounts for an activity according to budget items and time periods.

Activity General Link to the Activity General search page for the project. There the user can view or create an activity on the Activity Details page.

Budget Items link Click to create a new budget item on the Budget Items page.

Finalize / Re-Finalize Finalize the plan without returning to the Project Budgets page. If the budget plan is already active, the button will read Re-Finalize. Click Re-Finalize after making changes to an active budget.

Activity ID The activity associated with the project for which the budget amounts can be modified.

104

Modify Budget Loads existing budget amounts for the activity specified. The user can enter additional amounts and/or modify the existing ones. Budget amounts can only be added for one activity at a time.

Periods Click the appropriate link to display data for that particular time period range.

Budget Item Enter a budget item and corresponding amounts. Each activity's budget items must have a unique name and definition from other budget items belonging to the same activity. Within a single project budget plan, there cannot be two budget items with different names but identical definitions across activities.

Item Total Displays the budget item totals for all periods, not just those that are displayed.

Clear Click to clear the Budget Amounts, the amounts will not be saved unless Save was clicked first. To add or modify budget amounts for another activity, click Save to save the current Budget Amounts, click Clear, and enter the activity ID to display the budget amounts to be changed.

Copy Opens the Copy Budget Items secondary page to allow copying a budget item from any previously saved Budget Detail page.

Copying Budget Items

On the Copy Budget Items page, select the business unit, project, budget plan, and activity for the budget items that will be copied to the current budget plan. Check Copy Budget Amounts to copy amounts along with the budget items.

The following restrictions apply when copying budget items:

• The currency and the number of budget periods of the plan being copied must be the same as the current plan before amounts can be copied.

• A budget item (and its corresponding amounts, if applicable) will not be copied if an item with the same name or definition has already been specified for the current activity.

• Identically defined budget items must have the same name across all activities in the same budget plan. If not, the budget item may be renamed when copied from one budget plan to another.

Finalizing a Budget Plan

On the Budget Detail page, click Finalize to finalize a project's budget plan. The finalization process sets the budget plan's status to Active. All other plans for the same project are Inactive. Only one budget plan may be finalized per project, although that plan may be re-finalized if any changes are made to it.

Period start and end dates are defined for the plan that is being finalized. These dates are maintained in the PC_BUD_CAL table. The purpose of this calendar is to report budgets versus costs by period. The Start Date of the first period will always be the budget start date.

Re-Finalization

105

If the user saves a budget plan without pressing the Re-Finalize button, budget information is no longer synchronized with the PROJ_RESOURCE rows, and the plan status is changed to Modified, indicating that the budget plan was changed and not re-finalized.

If the analysis type is changed and the budget plan is re-finalized, PROJ_RESOURCE rows from the previous finalization process are not deleted. The updated budget data is written to PROJ_RESOURCE with the new analysis type. This allows the user to perform budget versus cost variance analysis for different budget plans as long as the analysis types are in different budget analysis groups. The user can run the Project Delete utility to delete any obsolete PROJ_RESOURCE rows.

Run a Budget-to-Cost Variance by Period report (PCY1050-.RPT) to perform budget versus cost analysis.

2.5.4 Interest Types Interest during construction—Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC)—is calculated to capitalize the cost of company funds used over the course of a project. Interest is calculated based on the following formula:

Interest During Construction = Cost Accumulation* x Periodic Interest**

* Accumulated costs based on a specified method of accumulation

** Yearly interest rate divided by the number of periods in the fiscal year

2.5.5 Period Calculation Factors Access the Period Calculation Factor page.

From Date and Through Date Costs incurred during this period are used for calculating interest.

Period Factor Determines percentage of the costs incurred during the specified date range that are used in the interest calculation—usually 100% (1.0).

2.5.6 Security Profile Security Profile The project role for which the security profile is associated.

Access to Project and Access to Activity

Select an access type: No Access, Read Only, or Read/Write.

Analysis Group Select an analysis group to grant the security profile access to resource transactions with analysis types that belong to the analysis group. More than one analysis group can be assigned to a profile. Granting access to resource transactions automatically permits read and write permissions and the ability to add and delete rows, unless the analysis type is defined as a secured analysis type.

Secured Analysis Types

Use the Project Resources page to view, add, and update the resource transactions of an activity. You can place limits on the resource transactions that a user can update by setting up secured analysis types. If an analysis type is secured, the resource rows of that analysis type appear as read-only rows on the Project Resources page. Users are also prevented from adding or deleting a resource row that belongs to a secured analysis type.

Use the Installation Options - Projects page to secure analysis types.

107

108

2.5.7 DEFINE TRANSACTION CODES Transaction codes are optional. You can use transaction codes to deal with exceptions and specific cases without creating a specific transaction type for each individual case. You can add transaction codes to resource transactions as an additional key and then set up separate accounting entry templates for resource transactions containing those transaction codes. The accounting entry templates for those resource transactions can then use the same transaction types but specify different accounts. For example, you could use transaction codes to identify costs specifically for month end or year end processing. Transaction codes are optional.

2.5.8 DEFINE TRANSACTION TYPES Accounting entry templates are the tools you use to translate resource transactions into entries ready to be sent to your general ledger. Transaction types are the building blocks of accounting entry templates. In this table you name and define generic transactions that you will then use in your accounting entry templates. As part of the process of defining your accounting entry templates, you'll specify a transaction type. The transaction lines you've created for that transaction type are then transferred into the accounting entry template where you assign each transaction line a specific general ledger account. Defining your transaction types in a separate table saves time when it comes to creating your accounting entry templates and reduces errors. Standard transactions are transactions that involve moving money from one account to another within the same general ledger business unit. Intercompany transactions are transactions that involve moving money from an account in one general ledger business unit to an account in another general ledger business unit; additional transaction lines are required for intercompany transactions.

2.6.3 DEFINE JOURNAL GENERATOR TEMPLATES The first step in setting up PeopleSoft to generate journal entries for your general ledger is to define a journal source. The system uses the journal source as an identifier on the journal header line. You use the Journal Source ID when you set up journal templates and journal summarization options.

2.6.4 DEFINE ACCOUNTING ENTRY DEFINITION The Journal Generator can create journals in the general ledger for any PeopleSoft or non-PeopleSoft application. It uses accounting entry definitions to identify accounting entry layouts—specifically, it uses the record and field names to extract data from the Accounting Entry Table for creating the journal header and lines.

2.6.5 DEFINE ACCOUNTING ENTRY TEMPLATES Each accounting entry template you create eventually determines the journal lines that are created from the resource transactions in your projects. Later, when you run the "PC: Accounting Distribution", the accounting entry templates you've defined are used to process the resource transactions from your projects, and create distribution lines. These distribution lines are then made into journal entries by the Journal Generator. Once you have set up all of your other PeopleSoft Projects tables, you are ready to define your accounting entry templates. Create one accounting entry template for each functional combination of the following elements: Required Optional Analysis Type Resource Category Resource Type Resource SubCategory Transaction Type Project Type Integration Template Transaction Code GL Business Units (from/to) At configuration, no journal entries from Projects had been identified. Warning! If you have not created an accounting entry template for a specific resource transaction, distribution lines will not be generated. PeopleSoft Projects is delivered with a query that will find all of these resource transactions for you-PCQ7200-Distribution Template.
