What Happens When I Approve Labor Distribution Lines?

Once you create and release labor distribution lines, they must be approved so you can process them to create salary encumbrances, fringe encumbrances (if applicable), labor distribution, and effort distributions (if applicable).

Before Approval

Labor distribution lines must have a Released status before you can approve them.

Results of Approval

Approving labor distribution lines:

  • Changes the labor distribution status to Approved

  • Makes the labor distribution lines available for processing during salary encumbrance processing on Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110), labor distribution processing during Payroll Close (PR197), and labor distribution processing for non-Lawson payroll on Non-Lawson Payroll Tran Import (GM500).

    Grant Management processes only the labor distribution lines that are approved. For salary encumbrances, non-approved distribution lines go to an error report. For labor distribution during payroll processing, Grant Management reverts to the original time record distribution for the GL account and activity.
