Your client uses Resource Breakdown Structures (RBS) and Resource Mapping to associate amounts to resources. After making some changes to the resources at project level, forecasts are regenerated. After reviewing the cost amounts associated with the resources, you suspect that the cost association does not match your client's expectations. Identify two valid rules based on which cost association works. (Choose two.)

Answer options

A: If one branch contains a user-defined resource type, precedence is given to the branch that contains a user-defined resource type.

B: If a transaction maps to more than one level, Oracle PPM Cloud sums the precedence numbers for all resource type in the branch and gives precedence to the resource element in the branch with the highest sum.

C: If there is only one level in RBS to which the transaction maps, the cost amounts are mapped to that level. Correct answer

D: If the sum of precedence numbers is the same for more than one branch, precedence is given to the branch with the lowest number at the lowest level. Correct answer

Correct Answer:

C. If there is only one level in RBS to which the transaction maps, the cost amounts are mapped to that level.; D. If the sum of precedence numbers is the same for more than one branch, precedence is given to the branch with the lowest number at the lowest level.

Explanation

If a transaction matches exactly one level of the resource breakdown structure, the system posts the entire cost to that single level. When several branches are possible and their summed precedence values tie, the branch whose lowest-level element has the smallest precedence number wins the mapping. These two rules are explicitly stated in the resource-mapping precedence algorithm.

Why Incorrect

A. User-defined resource types do not override the numeric precedence algorithm.
B. The branch with the LOWEST, not highest, summed precedence is selected.
