Labor Distribution Mass Status Change (GM115)

Run Labor Distribution Mass Status Change (GM115) to update the status of multiple labor distribution lines and/or labor cost transfers at once. Use this form to approve and release labor distribution and cost transfer templates in a batch process, instead of approving individual templates on the Labor Distribution Template Approval (GM11) or Labor Cost Transfer Template Approval (GM13.1) forms.

Use the Main page to identify the employees, effective dates, and existing status of the labor distribution or labor cost transfer records you are going to change. Also specify the new status for eligible records.

The Activity page is optional, but you can use it to further limit the number of eligible records for the employees specified on the Main page. If the activity tab is not populated, no additional filtering by activity occurs.

The GL Accounts page is optional, but you can use it to further limit the number of eligible records for the employees specified on the Main page.

If you enter information in both the Activity page and the GL Accounts page, the labor distribution or cost transfer records must contain the activities and the general ledger accounts you specified to be selected for batch approval.

Note: Labor distribution lines must have an approved status to be eligible for Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110) and labor distribution processing during Payroll Close (PR197). Grant Management will process only the labor distribution lines that are approved. For salary encumbrances, non-approved distribution lines go to an error report. For labor distributions during payroll processing, non-approved distribution lines are ignored and Grant Management reverts to original distributions.
