What Makes an Employee Eligible for Labor Distribution Processing?
An employee is eligible for labor distribution processing when the Labor Distribution field is set to Yes on the employee record ((Grant Management (HR11.3)).
Payroll Close (PR197) also populates the Effort Transaction file only if the Effort Reporting field on the employee's record is set to Yes. If you update PR197 and the Effort Reporting field is No, there is no way to go back and capture the data for effort reporting for that pay period.
