These topics list common elements and discuss student reimbursement processing.

Field or Control

Description

Data Override and Override

Select to manually change costs that are associated with a student for a specific course session. Cost fields become available. Selecting Data Override prevents the Compute Student Costs process (TRN013) to override costs entered by you.

Note: Once you change the default values on a page, you cannot select the Data Override check box again.

Warning! When you rerun the Compute Student Cost process (RUNCTL_TRN013) with this check box selected, the system overwrites the data on that page with new calculation results.

EE Qty (employee quantity)

Defines the number of units of equipment or materials. Can also define the number of units of the Expense Type value on the page that the employee used as part of the course session.

Per Employee Cost

Displays the costs per employee. The appropriate currency is defined in the field next to this field. You can override the costs by selecting the Data Override check box.

(FRA) Financed Cost, Financing Fund, and Financing Department

Use these fields to define the additional facility information that is used to generate the French Training Report 2483. Enter the financed cost if the student's training is financed by an external organization.

Select the financing fund that is used to finance the student's training costs. Set up financing funds in the Vendor table.

Select the department that is financing the student's training costs.

You can use HR to handle student reimbursements for external course expenses. The system calculates reimbursable amounts according to the schedules that you create. In the Budget Training business process, the system updates training costs as students complete courses and are reimbursed for training expenses and posts those costs against your organization's training budget.
