Labor distribution record approval
Project assignment labor by period records must be in an Approved state to be considered for labor distribution. You can use these methods to approve labor distribution records:
- The resource who specifies the actual effort percentage for labor distribution can approve labor distribution at that time. The resource must have the authority to approve labor distribution. Use the action to immediately approve all distribution lines.
- If someone other than the resource is required to approve actual effort
percentages for labor distribution, then use the action. Process Automation is used to route the labor distribution to the Labor
Distribution Approver on the employee record. An employee must be linked to an
agent. Verify that agents are linked to employees for the approver and to the
employee to submit for approval.
Verify that the employee record contains a work email address. When the labor distribution record is rejected by the labor distribution approver, a comment is required. The approver can provide an explanation for the rejection in the comment. The rejection of the labor distribution, including the comment, is emailed to the employee for correction. The employee can make the correction and submit again for approval.
For more information about the approval flow, see the Infor Process Automation Reference Guide for Infor Financials and Supply Management.
- When the Require Labor Distribution Equal 100% check box is selected on the project structure, the total labor distribution for the employee period must equal 100 percent. When the total is over or under 100 percent when the employee period record is approved or submitted for approval, an error is displayed.
- If the Labor Distribution Confirmation on the project structure was specified, then a message is displayed when the labor distribution is approved or when it is submitted for approval.
