Mapping Levels

When mapping expense groups to ChartField combinations, you can assign ChartField combinations based on these levels:

  • Company

  • Department

  • Position

  • Job code

  • Employee

When resolving the mapping for a payroll record, the GL Interface PSJob process (PAYGL01) starts at the lowest level--employee--and determines whether there is a definition for the employee and activity group being processed. If it is not found, the search goes one level up, to the job code being processed, and continues up until a mapping for the current payroll record is found. The search stops when an entry is found.

This way, you need only define mapping entries at lower levels where desired. For example, earnings could be assigned at the employee level while the employer expenses for taxes remain at the company level.

Example of Employee-Level Mapping

You might want to map earnings expense at the employee level if an employee is on loan to another department and the originating department wants to charge the temporary department for the time. To do this, you would map the earnings at the employee level on a temporary basis. This also reduces any overhead due to initiating transfers, and so forth.

Note: To assign expenses at the employee level, use the Combination Code field on the employee's Job Data – Payroll page.

Component Search Page

On the search page for the component, you must select a company and business unit. If you select a mapping level more specific than Company, you must further select the particular value, such as the department, position, or employee ID.

ChartField Configuration

The fields displayed on the mapping pages are determined by the ChartField configuration.
