How to handle Prepayments in Projects in Release 11i?

 Hello,

"In Release 11i, unapplied project-related prepayment invoices are eligible to be recognized as actual project cost. Prepayments, however, are assets (not expenses) and should not be recognized as actual cost until they are applied to an invoice.

In Release 12, Oracle Projects is introducing a new approach where prepayments will be treated as cost commitments rather than actual cost until they are applied to a standard invoice."

How can we handle prepayments in R11i and differentiate them from actual costs and also prevent them from being eligible for revenue recognition and capitalization?

Thank you,

Julia
