Calculating and Maintaining Student Costs
To calculate student costs for a course session, run the Compute Student Costs process. This process splits out the training costs to the employee level using cost information that is specified at the course, course catalog, and course session levels.
The process calculates the training cost for each employee in the specified session, for the specified budget period, and populates the tables that store employee training cost component information as follows:
Cost Component |
Table |
---|---|
Salary |
TRN_EESAL_COST |
Vendor |
TRN_EEPROV_COST |
Facility |
TRN_EEFACIL_COST |
Equipment |
TRN_EEEQUIP_COST |
Instructor |
TRN_EEINST_COST |
Employee Expense |
TRN_EEEXPN_COST |
Session Expense |
TRN_SSEXPN_COST |
Once you've run this process, you can view the results in the Track Student Cost component. Adjustments that you make to the cost information in that component override the cost information that is calculated by the process.
The Compute Student Costs process affects the 2483 Training Report as follows:
Splits session costs and computes the company cost, the financed cost and the chargeable cost for each student.
Updates the employee salary costs.
Determines if the cost is chargeable and sets the chargeable flag in the Maintain Student Costs page.
Imports external expenses.
These topics discuss how to:
Run the Compute Student Costs process.
(FRA) Review and update vendor costs.
(FRA) Update and maintain facility costs.
(FRA) Update and maintain equipment costs.

EE Session Cost Summary (employee session cost summary) |
RUNCTL_TRN032 |
Run the EE Session Cost Summary report (TRN032). This report lists the costs that are associated with an employee who is attending a course. Costs are for salary, vendor, facility, equipment, instructor, employee expense, and session expense. This is an SQR report. You must run the Compute Student Cost process before you run this report. The EE Session Cost Summary job runs two processes to produce the report. |
Use the Calculate Student Cost page (RUNCTL_TRN013) to run the Calculate Student Costs process before you review or update actual training costs at the employee level.
This process computes student costs by budget period for the course sessions that you specify as part of the process parameters.
