Labor distribution reversal

The reversal action is used to reverse all labor distributions, fringe burdens, adjustments, and journal entries. Labor distributions can be reversed for a specific employee or for a group of employees. Labor distributions for a period for multiple employees can be reversed and recalculated. The reversal action is required if all of the eligible salary and wage records were not selected for labor distribution.

For example, labor distribution can be reversed if these situations occur:
  • Incorrect fringe burden rates were used.
  • The selection group for eligible pay was defined incorrectly.
  • Pay was added for the period after labor was distributed.

This list shows the results of reversing labor:

  • All journal entries are backed out.
  • Salary and wage amounts are reinstated to the original finance structure that is posted by payroll.
  • The status for GLTransactionDetail records is changed to Unprocessed. The originating records from payroll can be reprocessed.
  • The status for labor records for project assignments is changed to Approved. The distribute labor action can be re-run.
  • The project date range is validated, but these issues are not validated:
    • Valid pairs
    • Rules for structure validation
    • Inactive dimensions
  • Reversed labor is created with an event code of LR.
