7 Projects & Grants Scenarios — AI Executing Oracle

POET project setup, FEMA grant billing, multi-funded splits. What the user says, what the agent does, what Oracle executes.

01

Create Project with POET Structure & Fund Control

30 min vs 3–4 hrs
▶ User: "Create FEMA Hazard Mitigation project for Hurricane Ian recovery — TAS 070-25-0702, $15M ceiling, three task types: planning, construction, admin"
// Agent Actions
1 Creates Oracle Project with FEMA-standard POET structure: Project (Hurricane Ian) → Organization (FEMA HMGP) → Expenditure Types (Planning/Construction/Admin) → Tasks
2 Configures project budget by TAS 070-25-0702 with ADA fund control at task level — prevents over-obligation per task ceiling
3 Sets up project class codes (grant type, CFDA number, awarding agency) for federal reporting
4 Links project to Oracle Grants module for billing and draw request generation
🔗 Oracle Action: Creates PA_PROJECTS record, POET hierarchy, budget lines by task, fund control rules, and grants linkage via Oracle SOA Gateway
FEMA project live in Oracle in 30 minutes — full POET structure, $15M fund control active by task, CFDA codes set, ready for first expenditure charge.
02

Set Up Grant Award from FEMA Notice of Award

45 min vs half-day
▶ User: Uploads FEMA Notice of Award PDF + "Create the grant award in Oracle — $8.2M BRIC grant, 36-month period, match requirement 25%"
// Agent Actions
1 Extracts grant terms from NoA PDF: award number, CFDA 97.047, period of performance, federal share, non-federal match %
2 Creates Oracle Grants Award record with sponsor (FEMA), award type (Cost Reimbursable), billing cycle (monthly)
3 Configures 25% match tracking: segregates federal vs. non-federal expenditures by expenditure type
4 Sets up automatic billing event triggers at each reporting milestone per the grant agreement
🔗 Oracle Action: Creates GMS_AWARDS record, billing terms, match tracking rules, and milestone billing schedule from NoA data
BRIC grant award in Oracle in 45 minutes — $8.2M award configured, 25% match tracking active, monthly billing cycle ready, all NoA terms captured.
03

Process Grant Billing & Federal Draw Request

20 min vs 4–6 hrs
▶ User: "Run June billing for all active FEMA grants — generate SF-270 draw requests for reimbursable expenditures"
// Agent Actions
1 Queries all unbilled project expenditures charged to active FEMA grants through June 30
2 Applies billing exclusion rules: removes unallowable costs per FAR Part 31 and grant-specific restrictions
3 Generates billing invoice by grant with federal share calculation (expenditures × federal cost share %)
4 Formats SF-270 Request for Advance or Reimbursement for each grant and queues for submission to FEMA
🔗 Oracle Action: Runs Oracle Projects Billing process, generates AR invoices per grant, produces SF-270 output via custom extract
All June FEMA draw requests generated in 20 minutes — SF-270s ready for submission, unallowable costs excluded, federal share correctly calculated by grant.
04

Configure Expenditure Types & Indirect Cost Burdening

2 hrs vs 1–2 days
▶ User: "Set up burdening for FEMA grants — apply 28% indirect cost rate to salaries and direct costs, exclude equipment purchases per grant terms"
// Agent Actions
1 Creates Burden Schedule with 28% indirect cost rate (approved NICRA rate) effective from grant start date
2 Configures burden exclusion rules: expenditure type "Equipment" excluded from indirect cost base per grant terms
3 Maps burden cost codes to USSGL accounts: indirect costs → USSGL 6100 (Operating Expenses) with correct TAS
4 Tests burdening with sample transaction; verifies 28% indirect applied to salary, zero burden on equipment
🔗 Oracle Action: Creates PA_BURDEN_SCHEDULES, burden cost codes, exclusion rules by expenditure type, and USSGL account mapping
NICRA burdening active on all FEMA grants in 2 hours — 28% indirect auto-applied to allowable costs, equipment excluded, indirect costs flowing to correct USSGL accounts.
05

Split Multi-Funded Project Across Multiple TAS

1 hr vs half-day
▶ User: "Coastal resilience project is funded 60% FEMA (TAS 070-0702) and 40% HUD CDBG-DR (TAS 086-0181) — configure the cost split in Oracle"
// Agent Actions
1 Configures Oracle Projects funding allocation: 60% of expenditures charged to TAS 070-0702, 40% to TAS 086-0181
2 Creates separate billing terms per funding source — FEMA billed monthly, HUD CDBG-DR billed quarterly
3 Configures split cost distribution rules so individual transactions auto-split at the correct percentage at posting
4 Sets up fund control at the funding-source level — each TAS has its own ceiling and ADA check
🔗 Oracle Action: Creates multi-funding source structure in Oracle Grants, configures AutoAccounting split rules, activates per-source fund control
Dual-funded project split active in 1 hour — every expenditure auto-splits 60/40 at posting, separate billing cycles per sponsor, independent ADA fund control per TAS.
06

Generate Project Budget vs. Actual Report

10 min vs 2–3 hrs
▶ User: "Show me budget vs. actual for all active FEMA grants — flag any projects burning faster than expected and projects under 50% utilized past midpoint"
// Agent Actions
1 Queries Oracle Projects for all active FEMA grants: budget, commitments, expenditures, and remaining balance by task
2 Computes burn rate: YTD expenditures ÷ elapsed % of period of performance → flags grants burning >120% of expected rate
3 Flags under-utilized grants: <50% expended at midpoint (risk of funds lapsing or de-obligation by FEMA)
🔗 Oracle Action: Queries PA_BUDGET_LINES and PA_EXPENDITURE_ITEMS, computes burn rate metrics, generates management report with exception flags
FEMA portfolio status report in 10 minutes — over-burn and under-utilization flags surfaced, CFO can act before funds lapse or de-obligation risk triggers.
07

Close Out Grant & Final Federal Financial Report

2 hrs vs 2–3 days
▶ User: "FEMA HMGP grant 1234-DR-FL is complete — run closeout, generate final SF-425 Federal Financial Report, and release any unspent balance"
// Agent Actions
1 Verifies all expenditures are billed and collected — identifies any outstanding receivables or unbilled costs
2 Generates final SF-425 Federal Financial Report: total federal expenditures, recipient share, program income
3 Calculates unspent balance to be de-obligated and returned to FEMA; prepares refund transaction if applicable
4 Closes Oracle Grant Award and Projects, updates TAS 070-0702 fund balance, archives documentation
🔗 Oracle Action: Closes GMS_AWARDS and PA_PROJECTS records, generates SF-425 extract, processes refund AR credit memo, releases fund balance
Grant closeout complete with final SF-425 in 2 hours — all expenditures reconciled, SF-425 ready for FEMA submission, unspent balance de-obligated, Oracle records closed.

CFDA Numbers, NICRA Rates, and SF-425s Aren't in Commercial Oracle Training.

Oracle Projects in the federal context requires grant-specific knowledge that commercial implementations never encounter. The FEMA, HUD, and federal grant workflows in ro1.ai come from 20+ years of hands-on Oracle Projects implementations across the federal government.

🔧Federal Grant Compliance

2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Guidance) governs allowable costs, indirect rates, and reporting for federal grants. ro1.ai knows which Oracle expenditure types are allowable, how to apply NICRA rates, and how to generate SF-270/SF-425 reports correctly.

🏭Multi-Fund POET Architecture

Federal projects are often funded by multiple appropriations across multiple agencies. Oracle Projects' AutoAccounting rules must split costs at the transaction level, with separate billing cycles and ADA fund control per funding source.

📊FEMA & HUD Grant Workflows

FEMA HMGP, BRIC, CDBG-DR — each has unique billing rules, match requirements, and reporting deadlines. ro1.ai delivers deep FEMA and HUD grant expertise built from field delivery experience, including grant award setup, draw request generation, and SF-425 closeout.
