Approving Labor Distribution Templates by Employee or Activity

Once you create and release labor distribution template lines, they must be approved to be eligible for salary encumbrance and labor distribution processing.

If someone other than the template creator needs to approve templates and Infor Process Automation is not implemented, you can:

Approve labor distribution template lines by employee on Labor Distribution Template Approval by Employee (GM11.1). To approve labor distribution templates by employee
Approve labor distribution template lines for a specific activity on Labor Distribution Template Approval by Activity (GM11.2). Template lines that contain only a General Ledger account (in other words, no activity) cannot be approved on this form. To approve labor distribution template lines by activity

Note: Labor distribution template lines must have an approved status to be eligible for Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110) and labor distribution processing during Payroll Close (PR197) or Non-Lawson Payroll Tran Import (GM500). Unapproved template lines are skipped during salary encumbrance processing. During labor distribution processing, unapproved template lines use the distribution in the original time record or imported transaction.

Labor distribution template lines must have a released status to be eligible for approval. You can release template lines on Labor Distribution Template Entry (GM10.2), or using Labor Distribution Mass Status Change (GM115).
