Distributing group labor

Use this procedure to distribute labor records to employee groups and labor groups.
  1. Sign in as Project Accountant or Project Administrator.
  2. Select Project Processes > Labor Processes > Distribute Labor.
  3. Specify this information:
    Employee Group
    Select the employee group. An employee group is a custom group over the Employee business class that defines the group of employees. For example, you can create a group of employees by organization unit. Use any field on the Employee business class or related business class, including user fields, to create a group of employees to distribute labor.
    Accounting Entity
    Specify the accounting entity to use to select PR transactions to distribute. Specify the GHR Accounting Entity or From Accounting Entity for the GLTransactionDetail records.
    Accounting Entity Group
    Specify the accounting entity group to use to select PR transactions to distribute. Specify the GHR Accounting Entity or From Accounting Entity for the GLTransactionDetail records.
    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 record for the specified period are processed. The project assignment records must be in an Approved status to be distributed. The default value is the period for the record you are on.
    Selection Group
    Specify a selection group to indicate which payroll salary and wage records are eligible for labor distribution. The default value is the selection group from the labor schedule. You can select a different group or create a new group.

    See Custom groups.

    Process All Transactions
    If Selection Group is blank, select this check box to process all of the eligible payroll salary and wage records without using a selection group.
    Posting Date
    Specify the posting date for the labor distribution entries created. This must be a valid posting date for the distribution project.
    Optional Override From Accounting Entity
    Specify the accounting entity to use to override the From accounting entity on all GLTransactionDetail records. This value is used for journal control on the general ledger. If this field is blank, then the From accounting entity from the source PR transaction is used.
    Dimensions
    To override the offset finance structure for labor, fringe, or both, select the value on the dimension. 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 or any part of the structure for the labor distribution or fringe burden, specify the dimensions in the offset override fields.

  4. Click Submit.
    Errors are displayed on the Errors tab. Correct the errors and rerun the labor distribution.
