Your customer wants a team member who is assigned to a project to be able to create and submit a forecast, but not to be able to approve the…

In Oracle Project Management Cloud, the Project Accountant role is designed for financial management tasks including forecast creation and submission. This role has the appropriate privileges to handle financial forecasting activities but lacks the approval authority, which is typically reserved for roles with higher project governance responsibilities like Project Manager. The separation of forecast creation/submission from approval ensures proper financial controls and segregation of duties within project financial management.

A. Project Manager - Has full authority including forecast approval, exceeding the requirement.

B. Project Administrator - Focuses on project setup and configuration, not routine financial forecasting tasks.

C. Project Application Administrator - System-level role for application configuration, not project-specific financial activities.
