Time Administration and Referential Integrity
Time Administration does the following:
Provides the tools to create, maintain, and apply the organization's compensation, task, and exception rules to reported and scheduled time.
Validates instances of reported time and generates payable time.
Creates exceptions.
Uses the RI process to check for setup changes that may affect processed time.
Verifies that changes, either system generated or user generated changes, do not negatively affect the system or create errors related to reported or payable time.
Processes validations before creating payable time.
These include compensatory time, leave, TRC, task, and time reporter status validations. This ensures that the payable time is valid.
If you do not include the delivered validation definitions in your validation set, validations against reported time are not included in the Submit Time process.
Note: Time Administration calculates payable time for only those time reporters defined in the run control for Time Administration. The RI process updates the earliest change dates for time reporters defined in the run control. However, any other affected time reporters excluded from the current Time Administration run are reprocessed in the next Time Administration run with these time reporters.
