Introduction

T

he Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual provides the information you need to understand the underlying structure of Oracle Projects. After reading this manual, you should be able to convert your existing applications data, integrate your existing applications with Oracle Projects, and write custom reports for Oracle Projects, as well as read data that you need to perform other tasks. This chapter introduces you to the Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual, and explains how to use it.

Oracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by ContractIntroduction 11

IntroductionAt Oracle, we design and build applications using Oracle Designer, our systems design technology that provides a complete environment to support developers through all stages of a systems life cycle. Because we use a repositorybased design toolset, all the information regarding the underlying structure and processing of our applications is available to us online. Using Oracle Designer, we can present this information to you in the form of a technical reference manual. This Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual contains detailed, uptodate information about the underlying structure of Oracle Projects. As we design and build new releases of Oracle Projects, we update our Oracle Designer repository to reflect our enhancements. As a result, we can always provide you with an Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual that contains the latest technical information as of the publication date. Note that after the publication date we may have added new indexes to Oracle Projects to improve performance. About this Manual This manual describes the Oracle Applications Release 11i data model, as used by Oracle Projects; it discusses the database we include with a fresh install of Oracle Applications Release 11i. If you have not yet upgraded to Release 11i, your database may differ from the database we document in this book. If you have upgraded from a previous release, you might find it helpful to use this manual with the appropriate Oracle Applications Product Update Notes manual. The product update notes list database changes and seed data changes in Oracle Projects between releases. The Oracle Applications Product Update Notes Release 11 manual describes the changes between Release 10.7 and Release 11, and the Oracle Applications Product Update Notes Release 11i manual describes the changes between Release 11 and Release 11i. You can contact your Oracle representative to confirm that you have the latest technical information for Oracle Projects. You can also use OracleMetaLink which is accessible through Oracles Support Web Center (http://www.oracle.com/support/elec_sup).

Finding the Latest InformationThe Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual contains the latest information as of the publication date. For the latest information weOracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by Contract12 Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual

encourage you to use OracleMetaLink which is accessible through Oracles Support Web Center (http://www.oracle.com/support/elec_sup).

AudienceThe Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual provides useful guidance and assistance to: Technical End Users Consultants Systems Analysts System Administrators Other MIS professionals This manual assumes that you have a basic understanding of structured analysis and design, and of relational databases. It also assumes that you are familiar with Oracle Application Object Library and Oracle Projects. If you are not familiar with the above products, we suggest that you attend one or more of the training classes available through Oracle Education (see: Other Information Sources: page 1 8).

How This Manual is OrganizedThis manual contains two major sections, HighLevel Design and Detailed Design. HighLevel Design This section, Chapter 2, contains database diagrams and lists each database table and view that Oracle Projects uses. This chapter also has a list of modules. Detailed Design This section, Chapter 3, contains a detailed description of the Oracle Projects database design, including information about each database table and view you might need for your custom reporting or other data requirements.Oracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by ContractIntroduction 13

How to Use This ManualThe Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual is a single, centralized source for all the information you need to know about the underlying structure and processing of Oracle Projects. For example, you can use this manual when you need to: Convert existing application data Integrate your Oracle Projects application with your other applications systems Write custom reports Define alerts against Oracle Applications tables Configure your Oracle SelfService Web Applications Create views for decision support queries using query tools Create business views for Oracle Discoverer You need not read this manual cover to cover. Use the table of contents and index to quickly locate the information you need. Example #1 Suppose you are designing a program to load customer agreements from your existing project accounting system into Oracle Projects. Your first step is to look at the Table List section of Chapter 2 for a table name resembling Customer Agreements. Keep in mind that Oracle Projects tables have intuitive names. While you are looking for table names that resemble Customer Agreements, you can also skim the short descriptions of each table to find one that mentions customer agreements. Once you locate the correct table (PA_AGREEMENTS_ALL), you can refer to the Table and View Definitions section of Chapter 3 for a detailed description of the table and its columns. You can examine the column descriptions to ensure that your program uses correct column names and loads each column with appropriate data. Then you can look at the Database Diagrams section in Chapter 2 to identify the tables related to PA_AGREEMENTS_ALL. You can examine related table descriptions to ensure that your program maintains database integrity. Example #2 Suppose you are writing a sales commissions report that lists all employees who receive credit for project revenue in Oracle Projects.Oracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by Contract14 Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual

You should use the Table List in Chapter 2 to locate the table PA_CREDIT_RECEIVERS. Then you can examine the column descriptions in the Table and View Definitions section of Chapter 3 to learn what columns you should display in your report and how you should display them.

How Not To Use This ManualDo not use this manual to plan modifications You should not use this manual to plan modifications to Oracle Projects. Modifying Oracle Projects limits your ability to upgrade to future releases of your Oracle Projects application. In addition, it interferes with our ability to give you the highquality support you deserve. We have constructed Oracle Projects so that you can customize it to fit your needs without programming, and you can integrate it with your existing applications through interface tables. However, should you require program modifications, you should contact our support team (see: Other Information Sources: page 1 8). They can put you in touch with Oracle Services, the professional consulting organization of Oracle. Their team of experienced applications professionals can make the modifications you need while ensuring upward compatibility with future product releases. Do not write data into noninterface tables Oracle reserves the right to change the structure of Oracle Applications tables, and to change the meaning of, add, or delete lookup codes and data in future releases. Do not write data directly into or change data in noninterface tables using SQL*Plus or other programming tools because you risk corrupting your database and interfering with our ability to support you. Moreover, this version of the Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual does not contain complete information about the dependencies between Oracle Projects applications tables. Therefore, you should write data into only those tables we identify as interface tables. If you write data into other noninterface tables, you risk violating your data integrity since you might not fulfill all the data dependencies in your Oracle Projects application.

Oracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by ContractIntroduction 15

You are responsible for the support and upgrade of the logic within the procedures that you write, which may be affected by changes between releases of Oracle Applications. Do not rely on upward compatibility of the data model Oracle reserves the right to change the structure of Oracle Projects tables, and to change the meaning of, add, or delete lookup codes and other data in future releases. We do not guarantee the upward compatibility of the Oracle Projects data model. For example, if you write a report that identifies concurrent requests that end in Error status by selecting directly from Oracle Application Object Library tables, we do not guarantee that your report will work properly after an upgrade.

About Oracle Application Object LibraryThe Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual may contain references to tables that belong to Oracle Application Object Library. Oracle Application Object Library is a collection of prebuilt application components and facilities for building Oracle Applications and extensions to Oracle Applications. Oracle Application Coding Standards use the Oracle Application Object Library and contains shared components including but not limited to forms, subroutines, concurrent programs and reports, database tables and objects, messages, menus, responsibilities, flexfield definitions and online help.

Attention: Oracle does not support any customization of Oracle Application Object Library tables or modules, not even by Oracle consultants. (Oracle Application Object Library tables generally have names beginning with FND_%.) Accordingly, this manual does not contain detailed information about most Oracle Application Object Library tables used by Oracle Projects.

A Few Words About TerminologyThe following list provides you with definitions for terms that we use throughout this manual:

Oracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by Contract16 Oracle Projects Technical Reference Manual

Relationship A relationship describes any significant way in which two tables may be associated. For example, rows in the Journal Headers table may have a onetomany relationship with rows in the Journal Lines table. Database Diagram A database diagram is a graphic representation of application tables and the relationships between them. Module A module is a program or procedure that implements one or more business functions, or parts of a business function, within an application. Modules include forms, concurrent programs and reports, and subroutines. Application Building Block An application building block is a set of tables and modules (forms, reports, and concurrent programs) that implement closelyrelated database objects and their associated processing. Said another way, an application building block is a logical unit of an application. QuickCodes QuickCodes let you define general purpose, static lists of values for window fields. QuickCodes allow you to base your program logic on lookup codes while displaying userfriendly names in a list of values window. QuickCodes simplify name and language changes by letting you change the names your end users see, while the codes in your underlying programs remain the same. Form A form is a module comprised of closely related windows that are used together to perform a task. For example, the Enter Journals form in Oracle General Ledger includes the Enter Journals window, the Batch window, and the More Actions window among others. The Enter Journals window is the main window, and from it, you can use buttons to navigate to other windows in the form. The form name usually corresponds to the main window in the form, and is frequently a window you open directly from the Navigator.Oracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by ContractIntroduction 17

HighLevel Design

T

his chapter presents a highlevel design for Oracle Projects that satisfies the business needs we specify during Strategy and Analysis. It contains database diagrams for Oracle Projects application building blocks, lists of database tables and views, and a list of modules.

Oracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by ContractHighLevel Design 21

Overview of HighLevel DesignDuring HighLevel Design, we define the application components (tables, views, and modules) we need to build our application. We specify what application components should do without specifying the details of how they should do it. You can refer to this HighLevel Design chapter to quickly acquaint yourself with the tables, views, and modules that comprise Oracle Projects applications. And, you can prepare yourself to understand the detailed design and implementation of Oracle Projects.

Database DiagramsThe Database Diagrams section graphically represents all Oracle Projects applications tables and the relationships between them, organized by building block. Use this section to quickly learn what tables each Oracle Projects application building block uses, and how those tables interrelate. Then, you can refer to the Table and View Definitions sections of Chapter 3 for more detailed information about each of those tables.

Table ListsThe Table List sections list the Oracle Projects applications tables. Because a product might not include at least one table for each type, this Technical Reference Manual might not include each of the following sections. Public Tables Use the Public Table List section to quickly identify the tables you are most interested in. Then, you can refer to the Table and View Definitions sections of Chapter 3 for more detailed information about those tables. In addition, this manual may contain full documentation for one or more of the following Application Object Library tables: FND_DUAL, FND_CURRENCIES, and FND_COMMON_LOOKUPS.


Internal Tables This section includes a list of private, internal tables used by Oracle Projects; we do not provide additional documentation for these tables.

View ListsThe View List sections list the Oracle Projects views, with one section for each type of view. Because a product might not include at least one view for each type, this Technical Reference Manual might not include each of the following sections. Use this section to quickly identify the views you are most interested in. Then, you can refer to the Table and View Definitions sections of Chapter 3 for more detailed information about those views. Public Views This section lists views that may be useful for your custom reporting or other data requirements. The list includes a description of the view, and the page in Chapter 3 that gives detailed information about the public view. Web Views This section lists views that you may need to configure your SelfService Web applications. The list includes a description of the view, and the page in Chapter 3 that gives detailed information about the web view. Internal Views This section includes each private, internal view that Oracle Projects uses. SingleOrganization Views This section lists the Oracle Projects views that we added to take the place of various tables that are now partitioned by operating unit, to support multiple sets of books within a single installation of Oracle Projects.


Multiple Reporting Currency Views This list includes views that were created to support the Multiple Reporting Currencies feature.

Module ListThe Module List section briefly describes each of the Oracle Projects applications modules. This section lists forms, reports, and concurrent programs. A form is a module comprised of closely related windows that are used together to perform a task. For example, the Enter Journals form in Oracle General Ledger includes the Enter Journals window, the Batch window, and the More Actions window. The Enter Journals window is the main window, and from it, you can use buttons to navigate to other windows in the form. The form name usually corresponds to the main window in the form, and is frequently a window you can open directly from the Navigator. The Reports and Concurrent Programs lists include processes you can submit from the Submit Requests window or other windows, as well as processes that are submitted automatically by Oracle Projects. Use your users guide to learn more about reports and concurrent processes.


Database Diagramming ConventionsWe use the following notational conventions in our database diagrams:Figure 2 1 Database Diagram Conventions

Server Model Diagram Elements and Notation

Recursive foreign key (Pig's Ear)

Title Bar Column/attribute details section Relational Table

Foreign key constraint

Arc

EMPPrimary key column (#*) Mandatory column (*)

# * EMPNO * DEPTNO

Delete rule indicator

DEPTValues in the foreign key must match the primary key

# * DEPTNO * DNAME

Mandatory and Optional Foreign KeysA value entered in the column in the foreign key must match a value in the primary key column. A value entered in the column in the foreign key must match either a value in the primary key column, or else it must be null.


Tables are the basic unit of storage in the database. A hand symbol preceding the title in the tables title bar indicates that the table is not owned by this application but shared with another. Foreign key constraint is a type of referential integrity constraint for checking the integrity of data entered in a specific column or set of columns. This specified column or set of columns is known as the foreign key. Delete rule indicator determines the action to be taken when an attempt is made to delete a related row in a join table. A line through the foreign key constraint, as shown on the above diagram, indicates that this action is restricted. Arcs specify that, for any given row in a table, a value must be entered in one of the arc columns. The remaining columns within the arc must be null.


Database DiagramsThis section graphically represents all Oracle Projects tables and the relationships between them, organized by building block. Use this section to quickly learn what tables each Oracle Projects application building block uses, and how these tables interrelate. Then, you can refer to the Table and View Definitions sections of Chapter 3 for more detailed information about each of those tables. This section contains a database diagram for each of the following Oracle Projects application building blocks: Diagram 1: Diagram 2: Diagram 3: Diagram 4: Diagram 5: Diagram 6: Diagram 7: Diagram 8: Diagram 9: Diagram 10: Diagram 11: Diagram 12: Diagram 13: Diagram 14: Diagram 15: Diagram 16: Diagram 17: Diagram 18: Diagram 19: Implementation Options Expenditure Implementation AutoAccounting Bill Rates Multiple Invoice Formats Project and Task Definition Budgets Funding PreApproved Expenditures Entry and Costing Online Expenditures Entry and Costing Burdening Implementation Burden Transaction Processing Capital Projects Revenue and Invoices Revenue Transfer Auditability Cost Transfer Auditability Resources and Summarization Billing Extensions Allocations


Some tables, especially important reference tables, appear in more than one database diagram. When several building blocks use a table, we show that table in each appropriate database diagram. Diagram 1: Implementation Options Diagram 1 shows the tables and relationships that store and manage key information about the configuration of your Oracle Projects installation. Diagram 2: Expenditure Implementation Diagram 2 shows the tables and relationships that store userdefined and systemdefined classifications of expenditures (costs). Oracle Projects uses these classifications to determine the method for processing expenditures. Diagram 3: AutoAccounting Diagram 3 shows the tables and relationships used by AutoAccounting. This Oracle Projects feature uses userdefined rules and parameters to determine the correct chart of accounts segment values for different types of transactions. Diagram 4: Bill Rates Diagram 4 shows the tables and relationships that store nonlabor and labor bill rates. You can define bill rates on many levels, such as project overrides, task overrides, and the standard bill rate schedules. Oracle Projects uses a systemdefined hierarchy to determine the correct bill rate when bill rates for the same item exist on more than one level. Diagram 5: Multiple Invoice Formats Diagram 5 shows the tables and relationships that store invoice formats. Diagram 6: Project and Task Definition Diagram 6 shows the tables and relationships that store the configuration elements and defaults assigned to projects and tasks during project setup, such as customers and contacts, billing and revenue accrual information, and project players.


Diagram 7: Budgets Diagram 7 shows the tables and relationships that store timephased budgets for projects and tasks. You can enter budgets at the project, top task, or lowest task level. Diagram 8: Funding Diagram 8 shows the linkage of customer agreements to projects via the allocation of funds from an agreement to a project or task. It also shows the tables and relationships that store customer agreements, agreement terms, and invoice format information. Diagram 9: PreApproved Expenditures Entry and Costing Diagram 9 shows the tables and relationships that store expenditures entered as preapproved expenditures. Preapproved expenditures include usages, expense reports, and timecards. This diagram also shows the tables that Oracle Projects programs use to distribute costs for preapproved expenditures. Diagram 10: Online Expenditures Entry and Costing Diagram 10 shows the tables and relationships that store timecard expenditures entered by the person who incurred them. These expenditures are reviewed and approved online by the employees supervisor. This diagram also shows the tables that the Distribute Labor Costs program uses to distribute costs for online expenditures, which are the same as those used for preapproved timecards. Diagram 11: Burdening Implementation Diagram 11 shows the implementation tables and relationships used to calculate burdened costs by applying burden cost rates to raw costs. Diagram 12: Burden Transaction Processing Diagram 12 shows how transactions are burdened and how summarized burden transactions are created. Diagram 13: Capital Projects Diagram 13 shows the tables and relationships used to account for capital projects processing.Oracle Proprietary, Confidential InformationUse Restricted by ContractHighLevel Design 29

Diagram 14: Revenue and Invoices Diagram 14 shows the tables and relationships that store draft revenue and draft invoices, including detail items. Diagram 15: Revenue Transfer Auditability Diagram 15 shows the tables and relationships used to audit revenue transactions transferred to General Ledger. Diagram 16: Cost Transfer Auditability Diagram 16 shows the tables and relationships used to audit cost transactions transferred out of or into Oracle Projects. Diagram 17: Resources and Summarization Diagram 17 shows the tables and relationships used to summarize project actuals, budgets, and commitments.
