Oracle Projects uses the following expenditure type classes to process non-labor project costs:

* Usages - Asset usage costs are interfaced to Oracle General Ledger.

* Supplier Invoices - Oracle Payables supplier invoices are interfaced from Oracle Payables to Oracle

Projects.

* Miscellaneous Transaction - Miscellaneous Transactions are used to track miscellaneous project

costs. This expenditure type class is similar to usages. The difference is that, for miscellaneous

transactions expenditure items, you are not required to specify a non-labor resource or a non-labor

resource organization, as you are for usage expenditure items. Miscellaneous transactions may be

used for the following costs:

Fixed assets depreciation

Allocations

Interest charges

* Burden Transaction - Burden transactions track burden costs that are calculated in an external

system or calculated as separate, summarized transactions. These costs are created as a separate

expenditure item that has a burdened cost amount, but has a quantity and raw cost value of zero.

Burden transactions are interfaced to Oracle General Ledger. As with any other transaction in Oracle

Projects, you can adjust and capitalize burden transactions, or accrue revenue or generate invoices

for these transactions.

* Work In Process - This expenditure type class is used for Project Manufacturing WIP transactions

that are interfaced from Manufacturing to Oracle Projects. You can also use this expenditure type

class when you import other manufacturing costs via Transaction Import or when you enter

transactions via pre-approved batch entry.
