  • During the creation of an Employee, projects are created in Oracle Projects, either system generated or manually for the respective employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Each of the projects is tagged to a contract. Keep in mind that each contract can have several projects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • During invoice creation, billing is processed for all the projects for that particular duration.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
