Project and task integration
The project and task integration transfers work breakdown structures and summarized
project and task costs from the Oracle Project Accounting to the IBM®
Maximo® Asset Management Cost Management
application.
The work breakdown structure
A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a hierarchy that consists of a top‐level project and top‐level, mid‐level, and lowest‐level tasks. A lowest‐level task is a task that does not have any child tasks.
Maximo Asset Management System cost management application
The Maximo Asset Management Cost Management application stores work breakdown structures and summarized project and task costs at the site level. The integration framework process assigns a unique financial control ID to each project and task that it adds to Maximo Asset Management .
Transfer project and task data to Maximo Asset Management
To transfer project and task data from Oracle Project Accounting to the Maximo Asset Management Cost Management application, you must first run three processes to distribute costs and generate rolled‐up costs for each entry within the work breakdown structure. You then run the financial extract concurrent process (PRC: Financial Update from Oracle ) to extract and transfer updated work breakdown structure and summarized cost data to Maximo Asset Management .
Project and task information updates
Add and modify projects and tasks in Oracle Project Accounting, not in Maximo Asset Management . If you delete a task in Oracle Project Accounting, manually delete it in Maximo Asset Management , as the integration framework does not delete project information.
Project and task integration controls
The project and task integration uses the following Projects integration‐specific Maximo Asset Management and Oracle integration controls.
