Integrating with PeopleSoft Time and Labor

Using tables, enterprise integration points, and other processes delivered with PeopleSoft Project Costing and PeopleSoft Time and Labor, the system brings labor costs into PeopleSoft Project Costing anytime PeopleSoft Project Costing needs estimates for billing.

To enable data transfer from PeopleSoft Time and Labor to PeopleSoft Project Costing during a payroll period, PeopleSoft Time and Labor uses an estimation process linked with North American Payroll to summarize hours and labor expenses. These estimates are brought into PeopleSoft Project Costing as transactions with an analysis type of TLA (Time and Labor Accruals). To facilitate billing from estimates, Time and Labor for Billing (TLB) rows are created during estimate processing. The monetary amounts of these estimates are close to what the eventual pro rata amounts will be after the payroll close, but are subject to change.

It is important to remember when setting up integration between PeopleSoft Project Costing and PeopleSoft Time and Labor that you are working in two separate databases: Financials and HCM. Therefore, information must be present in both databases before you can begin.

There are six project prompt tables (along with the Project Team and Project Status tables) in PeopleSoft Time and Labor that are populated by integration with PeopleSoft Project Costing.
