Some of the main benefits of using the implementation projects within Functional Setup Manager are:
* Implementation Project helps in assigning responsibility of managing setup data to a broad group of users. You can assign tasks to different users who are responsible for entering and validating setup data for different functional areas of the offering.
* Implementation Project helps you to monitor progress of the setup tasks. You can track the status and completion percentage of each task and view the dependencies and prerequisites among tasks.
Implementation Project does not give you the flexibility to set up different functional areas of the offering at different times, as this is determined by the configuration package that you select for your implementation. Implementation Project does not help you to use the manage setup data entry in bulk option, as this is a separate feature that allows you to import and export setup data across instances using spreadsheets.

You can't find persons in the list of resources when you enter team members, planning resources, or person rate schedules in the following situations:
* The administrator didn't assign adepartmentwhile creating users. Persons must have an active assignment andbe assigned to a departmentin Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management before they can be added as team members or entered as resources on the planning resource breakdown structure or person rate schedule.
* The resource isn't active in Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management because the current date is before the effective date of the resource. If you want to include persons who will start in the future, select the Include people with future-dated effective start dates option when you search for the person.
* Persons assigned as project managers aren't active as of the project start date.
* The assignment of the person is terminated, and an appropriate value isn't set for the number of days to display people with terminated assignments. You can set the profile value appropriately at the site profile level using the Specify Number of Days to Display People with Terminated Assignments task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Asset Cost Allocation Methods
The asset cost allocation method determines how indirect or common costs incurred on a project are allocated to multiple assets.
You can specify an asset cost allocation method to enable Oracle Fusion Project Costing to automatically allocate unassigned asset lines and common costs across multiple assets. Unassigned asset lines typically occur when more than one asset is assigned to an asset grouping level.
Projects and project templates inherit a default asset cost allocation method from the associated project type.
You can override the default at the project level. If you use capital events to allocate costs, then you can also override the asset cost allocation method at the event level Asset Cost Allocation Methods The following table describes the available asset cost allocation methods.

The generate public events for project deliverable status changes feature is a feature that allows you to send notifications or trigger actions when the progress status of a deliverable changes from one value to another.
For example, when the status of a deliverable is set to Complete, you can send a notification to the owners of the associated tasks or update the status of the tasks accordingly. Two statements that are true about this feature are:
* The public event is not generated when a deliverable is created or deleted. This feature only generates events when the progress status of a deliverable changes, not when a deliverable is added or removed from a project or task.
* The public event is generated when the progress status for a deliverable changes. This feature generates events when the progress status of a deliverable changes from one value to another, such as from Not Started to In Progress, or from In Progress to Complete. You can define rules and actions for each progress status change using Business Process Management (BPM) Worklist. The public event is also not generated when the priority of a deliverable changes, as this feature only generates events when the progress status of a deliverable changes.

Ref:https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/project-portfolio-management/19b/oapjs/update-project- performance-data-and-generate-kpis.html#OAPJS16654 Performance Status Indicator Performance status indicators give an immediate picture of the status of a project, such as critical, at risk, and on track. Each distinct icon indicates the status and severity of performance. During KPI definition, you first associate status indicators with performance statuses:
* Critical
* Severe
* At risk
* On track
* Ahead
You then associate these statuses with threshold levels. When KPI values are generated for a project, each value is compared to the defined thresholds and the corresponding status indicator for the KPI appears on project performance reports.
A status can identify negative performance so that you can take the appropriate actions to prevent or quickly resolve problems. Conversely, a status can identify positive performance to help you track expected or excellent performance.

Note: To create KPIs you must enable a project unit to track key performance indicators.
Use the Threshold Levels section to specify thresholds to indicate the health status of a KPI. Select one of the following options:
* Multiple threshold levels
* Single threshold level value
* Single threshold level range
