Determining if an Item is Billable or Capitalizable
You specify whether an item is billable for contract projects. Oracle Projects provides you with two levels of billability control.

Task Billable Status:  You can specify a lowest level task as billable or non-billable. This billable status defaults to all expenditure items charged to that task.
Transaction Controls :  You can define transaction controls to specify what transactions are non-billable.
Note: You can override the billable status of an expenditure item in the Expenditure Items and Invoice Line Details window.

You control the capitalizability of transactions for capital projects just as you control the billability of transactions for contract projects.

Billable Controls
If a transaction is chargeable, Oracle Projects next determines if it is billable using the following transaction validation checks:
A transaction must meet ALL of the following criteria to be billable:

• Transaction is chargeable
• Task is billable
• Billable field must be set to Task Level in all applicable rows in Transaction Controls You can specify what is non-billable using transaction controls.

For an item to be billable, the task must be billable. You can make an item non-billable by setting theBillable field to No for a transaction control record. You cannot mark a task as non-billable, and then mark expenditure items as billable through transaction
controls.
