In Projects, which enablement option applies to Contract projects only?

In Oracle Fusion Cloud Project Management, the ability to enable and process revenue is exclusively available for contract projects. Contract projects are those funded by external parties (sponsors) and are governed by a customer contract. The entire revenue recognition lifecycle, from generation to accounting, is intrinsically linked to the terms and billing events defined in the associated contract. Other project types, such as capital or indirect (cost) projects, do not generate revenue from external customers and therefore do not have this option.

B. Expense: Tracking expenses (costs) is a fundamental capability for all project types, including indirect, capital, and contract projects, to monitor project spending.
C. Project Benefits: The functionality to define and track project benefits is available for various project types, notably capital projects, to measure return on investment (ROI).
D. Rolling Forecast: Forecasting capabilities for costs, effort, and expenses are applicable to all project types to facilitate planning and control throughout the project lifecycle.
