Time and Labor Cost Extract Page

PY_TL_XTRACT_COST

Run the Extract Time and Labor Costs process (PY_PULL_COST) to extract time and labor costs from Payroll for North America to Time and Labor. You must have already loaded time and labor data and confirmed the payroll calculation before you can extract the costs.

After you have loaded time and labor payable time into Payroll for North America and then run the Pay Calculation and Pay Confirmation processes, you can extract the time and labor costs from Payroll for North America into Time and Labor. The Extract Time and Labor Costs Application Engine process (PY_PULL_COST) updates the Payable Time record in Time and Labor and flags the data with an indicator that the data originated from Payroll for North America. "Labor distribution" is another term for this extracting of time and labor costs.

Note: You define that you want labor distribution and labor dilution to be processed on the Pay System page in Time and Labor.

The following Payroll for North America processes call the Extract Time and Labor Costs process to return costs to Time and Labor:

  • Pay Calculation (on-cycle and off-cycle).

  • Online Check.

  • Final Check.

Use the Time and Labor Cost Extract page (PY_TL_XTRACT_COST) to run the Extract Time and Labor Costs process (PY_PULL_COST) to extract time and labor costs from Payroll for North America to Time and Labor.

You must have already loaded time and labor data and confirmed the payroll calculation before you can extract the costs.

Run Actuals Distribution

If you use the Manage Commitment Accounting business process in PeopleSoft HR, select to have the labor distribution process run first from Time and Labor, which then triggers the Actuals Distribution COBOL SQL process (PSPPFUND), which summarizes the rows of payable time that are linked to a Manage Commitment Accounting account code (funding source) and prepares it for the interface to PeopleSoft General Ledger. After the Actuals Distribution process runs, then the ACTUAL_TIME_BATCH_ADD service operation is sent to PeopleSoft Projects, if that application is installed.

See Running the Actuals Distribution Process.

On-Cycle Run

Use this group box for on-cycle or off-cycle earnings. If you use this group box, the process references the pay run ID and not all of the associated pay calendars that are attached to the pay run ID. The pay run ID can be attached to on-cycle and off-cycle pay calendars. The process extracts all of the pay calendars that are related to the pay run ID and checks the earnings that are attached.

The Extract Time and Labor Costs process can be run for on-cycle earnings, off-cycle earnings, or both.

Field or Control

Definition

Pay Run ID

Select the pay run ID that identifies the pay calendars from which you want to extract time and labor costs.

On-Cycle

If you select this option, on-cycle earnings are distributed only once.

Off-Cycle

If you select this option, off-cycle pay earnings that are attached to an on-cycle pay calendar are rerun again, as there might be additional off-cycle pay earnings that have been added. If the off-cycle pay earnings are associated to an off-cycle pay calendar, the T&L Extract costs check box on the Pay Calendar Table page is selected when it is first run, and those costs aren't rerun through labor distribution.

Both

If you select this option for an on-cycle pay calendar, any associated off-cycle earnings to that calendar are resent, but on-cycle earnings aren't resent.

Off-Cycle Pay Calendar

Use this group box to specify the selection criteria for the extraction of time and labor costs for an off-cycle run. With this group box you can control the extraction of time and labor costs for multiple off-cycle runs that are attached to a single on-cycle run.

Process Page and Thru
