Redistributing group labor

Labor is redistributed for multiple employees only for processed labor where changes have been made. If labor distribution approvals are required, then labor is only redistributed for processed employee periods with a redistribution approval status of Approved.

  1. Sign in as Project Accountant or Project Administrator.
  2. Select Project Processes > Labor Processes > Redistribute Labor.
  3. Specify this information:
    Employee Group
    Select the employee group to process. An employee group is a custom group over the Employee business class that defines the group of employees for which to redistribute labor. For example, you can create a group of employees by organization unit. Use any field on the Employee business class or use a related project employee business class to create a group of employees to redistribute labor. User fields can also be used.
    Labor Schedule
    Select the labor records or labor schedule to process. For example, monthly, semi-monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly. Only the employees with the specified labor schedule are processed.
    Period
    Select the period to process. Only the project assignment records for the specified period are processed.
    Posting Date
    Specify the posting date for the labor redistribution entries created. This must be a valid posting date for the distribution project.
    Optional Override From Accounting Entity
    Optionally, specify the accounting entity to override the originating From accounting entity on all GLTransactionDetail records. This is also the accounting entity that is used for the General Ledger Journal Control. If this field is blank, then the From accounting entity on the originating source PR transaction is used.
    Dimensions
    To override the offset finance structure for labor, or fringe, or both, select the value on the dimension to override. When labor and fringe burden are distributed, the offset is to the same finance structure as the originating source transaction. To override the finance structure for the labor distribution or fringe burden, specify the dimensions in the offset override fields.
