Unable to find 'Edit' or 'Rework' link after a budget is rejected in Oracle Projects

Unable to find 'Edit' or 'Rework' link after a budget is rejected in Oracle Projects

Issue 

After a budget is rejected by the workflow approver, the budget's 'Edit' or 'Rework' link do not appear and thus the budget cannot be reworked. 

How to reproduce

  1. Create a Project and change its status to Active
  2. Create a new Plan version of Approved Budget and then enter the Raw Cost, Burdened Cost and Revenue Budget total.
  3. Submit budget for approval.
  4. Now login as budget approver and 'Reject' the budget
  5. Go back to the Project > Financials tab > Approved Budget > Maintain Versions. Here unable to find 'Edit' or 'Rework' link.

Resolution

Take the following steps to resolve this:

A. Ensure the check box on the Financial Plan type setup "Allow Edit after Initial Baseline" is checked.  

  1. Using Project Super User, navigate as follows:
  2. Projects: Setup
  3. Financial Plan Types
  4. Select the plan type you are using and hit the update (pencil) icon.
  5. Under the 'Setup Options' section you will see 'Allow Edit After Initial Baseline'. 

B. In case case the above setup was already done. Now what I had done to resolve the issue is simply terminate the budget approval process. To do that follow these steps:

  1. After the budget got rejected then original initiator of the budget will get a rejection notification. Open this notification and hit the 'Terminate' button.
  2. Go back to the Project > Financials tab > Approved Budget > Maintain Versions, and here the 'Edit' budget option will appear now.
