• Executive summary • Illustrative case study • Business challenges • AFE Best Practices • Functional Solution • Solution Limitations • Conclusion • Q&A Executive Summary

• Executing mega capital project with billions of dollars in spend typically requires Authorization for Expenditures (AFEs) to be structured as delivery teams. • While this approach has some advantages from overall project delivery/execution standpoint, it can cause further complexities such as: – The project structure does not align with the resulting to be capitalized such as buildings, plants etc. – The resulting assets will be placed in service at different times requiring partial capitalization of the AFEs – As the projects are structured as functions, all the projects will continue to receive and stay open for the duration of the project.

• Session objectives: – Discuss best practices for setting up AFE cost code structure – Discuss best practices to streamline project close and asset capitalization – Discuss various project cost allocation strategies and their implications

An illustrative case study

Cons. Direct CONSTRUCTION 3% of total direct General Services costs AFE

Area A is 9% of Engineering ENGINEERING total ENG AFE Allocation Power Plant Budget (Asset) OWN 10% of the 16% of Infra AFE Construction constructions Budget

36% of Infra AFE OWN Infra Budget OWNERS COST 7% of total direct OWN Shared costs AFE budget

Inherits 5% ENG OWN Engineering allocation

10 Business challenges

• Project/AFE structure not aligned to Fixed Assets • AFEs open for a long period of time • Use of spreadsheets to track and estimate asset costs • /late invoicing require changes to asset cost and AFE WBS structure – best practices

Effective coding structure Ineffective coding structure ( Classic triangle) (Diamond shape) AFEs setup by discipline without defined deliverables (procurement, engineering)

AFE levels Issue: AFEs might need to AFE levels stay open for a long time, causing concern for control Task levels and budget Task levels Lower cost code level Contracting set of references delivery package Level 1 deliverables Approach should be to have an AFE refer Issue: Difficult to manage discrete scope of fork for a particular period reclass of cost to assets (i.e. Asset class/ Ownership/time)

Capitalization Options • Start from the project type and define project templates • Determine the project organization (hierarchy) • Setup project types • Configure capitalization options – Cost Type: Option to capitalize Raw Cost or Burdened Cost Project Type – Asset Line Grouping Method: Create asset lines by grouping cost transactions at different levels such as by Expenditure Type, Expenditure Category, etc. – Asset Cost Allocation Method: Actual Units, Current Cost, Estimated Cost, Spread Evenly and Client Project Extension – Event Processing Method: Periodic, Manual and None Functional Solution (Transact)

• Create project and inherit setup values from project templates created for the specific project type • Define assets and assign them either at the project level or task level Manage Project Budget

• Capture cost and flag them as capitalizable using Manage Project transaction controls and other setup options

• Capitalize assets when they are ready to be placed in Manage Project Costs service

• Create capital events as necessary by grouping eligible Manage Capital assets assets and costs

• Generate asset lines by grouping costs based on asset line Monitor Project Performance grouping method and allocate costs to assets appropriately using asset cost allocation methods • Transfer asset/asset line details to Oracle Fixed Assets Cloud and post asset/asset lines/additions Solution Limitations

• Additional Design and Development efforts to leverage client extension • PaaS services are required to build custom solution • IaaS services are required if the custom logic requires a custom table to maintain data Conclusion

• Oracle Cloud PPM Suites offers wide range of functionalities to structure projects, define the level at which the activities and associated costs can be capitalized. • The approach to determine the WBS structure and asset capitalization varies across industries, size of the project and other factors such as local regulations. • However, it is important to decide the capitalization strategy at the time determining the project organizational hierarchy.
