Answer: A,C,D
Revenue and Billing Information
When you enter revenue information for your project, you specify a revenue distribution rule for the
revenue accrual method and the billing method for this project. When you enter billing information,
you specify invoice formats, bill cycle days, and other invoicing information.
The project type determines which revenue distribution rule appears as the default value for this
field, and which other revenue distribution rules you can choose from. Oracle Projects predefines
the following revenue distribution rules:
Cost/CostAccrue revenue and bill using the ratio of actual cost to budgeted cost (percent spent).
Cost/EventAccrue revenue using the ratio of actual cost to budgeted cost (percent spent), and bill
based on events.
Cost/WorkAccrue revenue using the ratio of actual cost to budgeted cost (percent spent), and bill
as work occurs.
Event/EventAccrue revenue and bill based on events.

to legal and statutory requirements. When you use this method, Oracle Projects generates physical
invoices and corresponding accounting entries at legal transfer prices between the internal
seller(provider) and buyer (receiver) organizations when they cross a legal entity boundary or
operating units.
*(D)Overview of Cross Charge When projects share resources within an enterprise, it is common to
see those resources shared across organization and country boundaries. Further, project managers
may also divide the work into multiple projects for easier execution and management. The legal,
statutory, or managerial accounting requirements of such projects often present complex operational
control, billing, and accounting challenges.
Oracle Projects enables companies to meet these challenges by providing timely information for
effective project management. Project managers can easily view the current total costs of the
project, while customers receive bills as costs are incurred, regardless of who performs the work or
where it is performed.

You can use rates to calculate amounts for costing, billing, and workplan and financial planning.
Oracle Projects determines rates from a combination of rate schedules and rate overrides. You can
define the following four types of rate schedules in Oracle Projects:
*Employee: Use this type of rate schedule to define standard hourly rates or percentage markups by
employee. You can use employee rate schedules as planning schedules(B), cost rate schedules(C),
and bill rate schedules(D).
*Job: Use this type of rate schedule to define standard hourly rates by job title. When you enter a
job-based rate schedule, you enter a job group to indicate which jobs are used to determine rates.
You can use job schedules as planning rate schedules, cost rate schedules, and bill rate schedules.
*Resource Class : Use this type of rate schedule to define planning rates by resource class, or as a
combination of resource class and organization. *Nonlabor: Use this type of rate schedule to define
rates or percentage markups by nonlabor expenditure type or a combination of nonlabor
expenditure type and nonlabor resource. You can use nonlabor rate schedules as planning rate
schedules, cost rate schedules, and bill rate schedules.

or just unpaid invoices. When you choose to merge all invoices, any associated payments are merged
as well.
*Supplier Merge
You can merge suppliers in Oracle Payables to maintain your supplier records. This functionality
enables you to merge duplicate suppliers into a single, consolidated supplier. You can use it to merge
transactions within the same supplier from one supplier site to a different supplier site. You can also
choose to merge all transactions for a supplier into a new supplier, or you can choose to merge only
unpaid invoices.
The supplier merge program in Oracle Payables updates the supplier references on related

IT Certification Guaranteed, The Easy Way!
Answer: B
Setting up Multi-Currency Transactions
To set up your system to process multi-currency transactions, perform the following steps:
*Implementation Options
Use the Currency Implementation Options to control the default values for currency attributes at
the operating unit level. Oracle Projects uses the currency attributes to calculate currency
exchange rates. See: Currency Implementation Options.
For each project for which you want to process multi-currency transactions, set up the Currency
options in the project and task options window. This option enables you to enter default currency
attributes for a project. See: Currency, Oracle Projects Fundamentals.
*Cross Charge
You can use the Cross Charge Options to specify whether the project can accept charges from other
operating units. See: Cross Charge Setup, Oracle Projects Fundamentals.
*Task Currency and Cross Charge Options
*You can use the Task Currency and Cross Charge Options to override the costing currency
conversion attributes and cross charge options in a lowest task. See: Currency, Oracle Projects

The rates are recorded on a default bill rate schedule that is attached to each project. An employee
has and HR assignment job of Consultant. However, the employee is temporarily working on a project
as a Project Manager. What is the correct way to ensure that the employee's time is billed correctly?
A. Amend the employee's HR assignment to Project Manager.
B. Add the employee as a separate line to the defaultbill rate schedule.
C. Use the transaction controlfunctionalityat the project level.
D. Use the assignment override at the project level.
E. Use the employee bill rate override at the project level.
Answer: D
Job Assignment Overrides You can override both an employee's job assignment and an employee's
billing title for this project or lowest level task. When you override an employee's job assignment, the
new job assignment determines bill rates for the employee's billing on this project or lowest task (if
this task uses job bill rates). You can choose any active job in the Oracle Applications database.
When you override an employee's primary billing title, the new billing title appears on future invoices
for this employee's billing (if this project's labor invoice format displays an employee billing title).
Any job assignment override you enter for this project or lowest task takes precedence over any
project job assignment override.

agreements require advance payments. On these agreements, you can enter funding only up to
the amount of advance payments.
The ability to change the Advance Required agreement option is controlled by function security.
*Agreements with Advance Payments
You can require advance payments on an agreement and record advance payments as they are
made. When you generate draft invoices for projects that are funded by the agreement, the
advance balance that is displayed on the funding summary is reduced. You then interface the
invoice to Receivables. The AutoInvoice process in Oracle Receivables reduces the balance on
the advance.

Answer: D
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 - Oracl
e 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.

Paper, plastic, one or two,
Don't throw out, come renew.
When your garbage bin is full,
Stop! The Earth pays the toll.
Ozone layer's falling apart,
Like a guy without a heart.
Earth only got hundred more years,
Until we ruin it for our peers.
Garbage can hurts to the core,
You put a bottle in it comes ask for more,
I say stop! Do none of that,
Throwing out garbage is wickety wak.
Go green!
Go green!
Go green!
Go green!
You like trees, I do too.
To save the seas, you know what to do.
You need to turn off the heat, conserve gas,
Turn down the power, pick up glass.
T. Boone Pickens, he's our bro,
He saves Texas with his dough,

Look out pollution, he's coming for you!

8 Essential Songs For Your Summer Playlist
by Brody Coronelli
Summertime: the time of year when your regular playlists just don't cut it. This time of year calls for louder, brighter, and more infectious songs.
What is it exactly that makes a summer song? Bright melodies, noise, hooks that stay in your head for weeks, anthemic throwdowns? The answer to that may be different for everyone, but below are eight songs that you can play loud with the windows down, out in the sun, or just when you need a good pick-me-up. Play 'em loud, proud, and with enough bass to cause a noise complaint (if that's your thing).
1. Butch Walker - "East Coast Girl"
The lead single off Walker's upcoming album Stay Gold, "East Coast Girl" is bombastic, classic, and reminiscent of an '80s-spirited, windows-down, rock 'n' roll anthem that's equally infectious as it is classic. The verses render Walker speaking in a haphazard, half-drunk rumination on old age ("Everything's goin' pretty par for the course/got back problems, grey hair, craving a porsche"), but the choruses go straight back in time, turning the song into a rambunctious, kick-in-the-teeth anthem.
2. Brian Fallon - "Mojo Hand"
Brian Fallon, frontman of the currently dormant Gaslight Anthem, came through with Painkillers- an outstanding solo debut- earlier this year. On the song "Mojo Hand", Fallon hits hard with slicked-back, rock 'n' roll voodoo that sends you spinning from the very first note.
3. Korey Dane "Heaven Won't Let Me In"
A poppier cut from Korey Dane's exceptional, Americana-versed album Youngblood, "Heaven Won't Let Me In" strikes all the right chords, softly driving forward with rootsy guitar hooks, and affable, laid-back lyricism that's sure to send you into the haze of a good time.
4. Tegan and Sara - "Stop Desire"
egan and Sara have a tight hold on sugary, love song-driven pop music on their new album Love You To Death, and "Stop Desire" is no exception. With enough synthesizer thrills, captivating hooks, and affectionate bravado to make your head spin, this song is a summer frenzy of sweet hooks and tender hijinks.
5. La Sera - "I Need An Angel"
"I Need An Angel" from La Sera's recent offering Music For Listening To Music To is all sun, heat, and sky. Boasting a glitzy, nostalgic sound reminiscent of The Smiths alongside a bright, '60s-reaching temperament, this track is a necessity when you're out for the next couple months.
6. Antarctigo Vespucci - "Crashing Waves"
Antarctigo Vespucci, the pop-rock oriented side project of Chris Farren of Fake Problems and Jeff Rosenstock of Bomb The Music Industry! is excellent in more ways than one, and "Crashing Waves" from their 2015 full-length Leavin' La Vida Loca is one of their highest moments thus far. With a beachy, fuzzy, and slacker kind of charm, this track is an absolute blast,
7. Jack's Mannequin - "Holiday From Real"
Jack's Mannequin Everything In Transit was inevitable on this list. It's one of the best summer albums in recent memory, and "Holiday From Real" encompasses all of it's charm. A buoyant account of spending time in California when the sun is high and you have too much time on your hands, this song is sure to make you want to grow out your hair a little too long and roll the windows down.
8. Teenage Wrist - "Stoned, Alone"
Teenage Wrist-- the scuzzy, '90s-inspired punk-rock side project from The Chain Gang of 1974's Kamtin Mohager-- hit hard last year with their debut EP Dazed, and luckily, they're back for more on their latest single "Stoned, Alone". The song is undyingly youthful, yearning, and noisy as it pushes itself on you with neon-soaked, bombastic rhythms and a sentimental undercurrent that begs to be felt.

"Sneaky Peeks"
After your wedding day is over, I then set about editing your wedding film which takes time to complete. I ask that you be patient as there is a lot involved in this, and other films shot around your big day. Right now it is around 10 weeks for the film to be finished, as it is just myself completing the work in post production. I like to have a personal touch on every wedding I film, and I'm sure that's why so many clients are happy with the end result. Your wedding is a major event so why not treat it like such, taking the time to get things right in the editing.
Our new inclusion for wedding films shot in 2015 and beyond is the "Sneaky Peeks". These are short 20-30 second teasers, with a few moments from the day edited together. Giving couples a glimpse of their big day again, and how the film is looking. You will receive this 2 weeks after the wedding or sooner.
So far there have been lovely reactions, so I will be doing this from now on for every couple.

5 Movies Starting 2018 Off Right
2018 is looking like it's going to be a good year for films. Black Panther is on the way, and we can't wait to see so much Black excellence packed into one movie. But until then, there are some movies coming out this month that look promising for all audiences. Friday, January 12 seems to be the day to release big movies, so make your plans now.
The Commuter
Liam Neeson is taking the lead role is what's basically Non-Stop part two. Neeson plays an average Joe, who strikes up an eerie conversation with a stranger on public transportation. Things take a turn for the worst when Neeson gets wrapped up in the middle of a mystery that has the lives of passengers — and a lot of money — at stake. We know we've seen it before, and we're still ready to see it again. If it aint broke…
January 12th
Proud Mary
Yall, Taraji P. Henson is living proof that Black don't crack, and at age 47 she's still ready for action. In this action-thriller, Henson plays Mary, a smooth hitwoman working in Boston for a crime family, when her plans get shifted after meeting a young boy when a hit goes wrong and leaves him orphaned. This could be the beginning of a new wave of black cinema akin to the blacksploitation era from the 1970s — more heroes of color and in leading roles, less stereotypes. I'm here for it.
January 12th
Paddington 2
It's nice to have something safe for the kids to watch on the big screen, and this month Paddington saves the day. In this sequel, the beloved bear has settled in with the Brown family, and takes up a few odd jobs to buy the perfect present for his Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday — a pop-up book from an antique shop. When a thief steals the book, Paddington embarks on an epic quest to unmask the culprit before Aunt Lucy's big celebration.
January 12th
12 Strong
For those of us who appreciate a good patriot piece, 12 Strong may be just what we need to have some pride in our nation — and with Trump still in office, we need something to give us pride. 12 Strong depicts the story of Capt. Mitch Nelson as he leads a team of well-trained U.S. Special Forces team on a dangerous mission into Afghanistan in the wake of September 11. Things don't go too smoothly for the team, and they find themselves outnumbered and outgunned. All-in-all, this looks to be a good option — the movie, not invading the middle east.
January 19th
Maze Runner: The Death Cure
In the finale to the Maze Runner saga, Thomas leads his group of escaped Gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet. To save their friends, they must break into the legendary Last City, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. Anyone who makes it out alive will get answers to the questions the Gladers have been asking since they first arrived in the maze.

Lillian Mongeau of The Hechinger Report looks at how some schools in Maine are changing what it means to make educational progress:
The law requires that by 2021, students graduating from Maine high schools must show they have mastered specific skills to earn a high school diploma. Maine is the first state to pass such a law, though the idea of valuing skills over credits is increasingly popular around the country. "Maine is the pioneer," said Chris Sturgis, co-founder of CompetencyWorks, a national organization that advocates for the approach in K-12 schools. This year's nearly 13,500 eighth graders will be the first students required to meet the changed requirements, which are being phased in gradually. By 2021, schools must offer diplomas based students reaching proficiency in the four core academic subject areas: English, math, science and social studies. By 2025, four additional subject areas will be included: a second language, the arts, health and physical education.
Until further notice, I will file this idea under "great in theory, wait-and-see in practice." The current regime, wherein both content and time are rigidly standardized, delivers pitiful results for many students. I'm eager to see how this plays out in Maine, and if it delivers measurable gains, I will be the first person in line at the parade.
Madeline Will of Education Week looks at a new effort to offer student journalists more rigorous legal protections:
The New Voices movement, led by the Washington-based nonprofit Student Press Law Center, started with a law passed in North Dakota in 2015. Last year, such laws were victorious in Illinois and Maryland but failed in a handful of other states, including Michigan and Missouri. In addition to the newly signed law in Vermont, legislation has passed this year in Nevada, and bills are moving through the legislatures in New Jersey and Rhode Island. Frank LoMonte, the executive director of the Student Press Law Center, said bills are also on the runway in New York and Wisconsin, and once again in Michigan, Missouri, Washington, Texas and Indiana for next year's legislative sessions ... In some states, the bills have garnered opposition from administrator groups, school lobbyists, or state school boards, who fear that the legislation could lead to unchecked, irresponsible student journalism.
That last point sounds like a frivolous concern; the only time I hear school boards and administrators complain about the quality of student journalism is when their own weaknesses or malpractices are the subject of that reporting. More than ever, we need to prepare young people to tell the truth about a complicated world. Facts matters.
In other news, Erica Green of The New York Times looks at Betsy DeVos's educational background:
Public neighborhood schools — the vast majority of schools in this country — were hardly present in the billionaire's childhood or adult life. Critics say this lopsided exposure fueled Ms. DeVos's staunch support of privately run, publicly funded charter schools and voucher programs that allow families to take tax dollars from the public education system to private schools ... Ms. DeVos has maintained that she is "agnostic" about the type of schools that parents choose for their children.
First of all, if you're not following Erica Green's reporting, you should be, because she has done an admirable job of covering the DeVos administration in a way that is both pointed and fair. Second, public money should not be used to support private religious institutions, no matter how academically strong those institutions are. If you're so committed to social justice that you want to run schools for vulnerable kids, you should do that, but in a secular way that doesn't exclude people of other faith backgrounds.
In the meantime, as Katie Worth of Frontline reports, folks are trying to pin-down DeVos's beliefs about climate change:
Four Democratic senators are sharply criticizing a conservative think tank's efforts to bring climate change skepticism into the nation's public schools as "industry funded" and "possibly fraudulent" and demanding to know whether federal education officials have been in contact with the group ... The senators asked DeVos whether any Education Department officials have had contact with individuals associated with the Heartland Institute "on climate, science, or science education issues," and whether any informational resources put out by the department have been created in collaboration with Heartland ... Heartland is perhaps best known for its position as a leader in the movement to reject the scientific consensus on global warming.
It's possible to believe the scientific consensus on climate change, yet maintain opposition to enacting government measures aimed at curbing the phenomenon. Maybe you believe that such measures will be harmful to certain industries, or that the likelihood of successful intervention is low. Those are short-sighted, morally questionable positions, but if you have a pecuniary interest in industries like oil, coal, and gas, you stand to benefit from perpetuating their profitability as long as possible. If that's what you think, you should make those arguments.
What troubles me more than maintaining those honest, yet disagreeable, positions is the systematic attempt to undermine science. Those efforts are contributing to the erosion of a common basis for understanding the world in which we live. It's pre-enlightenment, return-to-the-middle-ages style bullshit. If you don't give a shit if climate change happens, just say that. Don't throw the rest of us into a second round of the Dark Ages on the back of your selfish, ignorant beliefs.
Oh yeah ... have a great week :)

Hi guys! Apologies for the delay on my London Fashion Week post but alas it's here!
I have attended a few fashion weeks before, but this was my first London Fashion Week as a blogger 🙂 I have been blogging just under a year now and last season I was away on holiday so I was super excited to experience it this AW 17!
Unfortunately I didn't photograph all of it, I just filmed short videos which I uploaded onto my snapchat and instagram story so I can't share any pictures of what I saw.. silly me!. But I can show you pictures of the most interesting part (my outfits! haha)
The above outfit was all Missguided.
I met my friend and fellow blogger Emma and we went together to a few presentations and then headed to the Blogger hangout!
I then met another couple of bloggers and went to the Fantome – Malan Breton show which was one of my favourite!
Such great designs and the music was amazing so it really set such a romantic mood.
See below a few of my favourite looks:
Friday's outfit:
The above was my first day outfit all from Pretty Little Thing and the shoes were from Public Desire.
I only attended 3 days out of the 5 – as much as I love fashion I don't love walking around in London all day from show to show in heels so was happy with doing just 3 days haha 🙂
Monday's outfit:
I think by Monday I was literally just wanting to be comfortable and have easy to walk in shoes and not be cold!
As the other days my feet were literally killing so I opted for a more casual look!
Anyway guys that is it for this London Fashion Week outfits. I hope you guys liked them!
Next season I will be sure to take more pictures of the collections that I saw so that I can share them with you too.. perhaps I will even do a vlog!
P.S. If you didn't know, I have started a YouTube channel where I post weekly a mixture of fashion, beauty and lifestyle videos.
I would love so much if you would check it out and subscribe! > here
