JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Time and Labor system integration

We discuss integration considerations in the implementation chapters in this implementation guide. Supplemental information about third-party application integrations is located on the Oracle or JD Edwards Customer Connection website.

To use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Time and Labor, you must also use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management Foundation system from Oracle. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management Foundation contains the central database for all information that pertains to employees, jobs, pay types, deductions, benefits, and accruals. Human Capital Management Foundation information integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Time and Labor by:

Associating time entry records with the appropriate employee.
Identifying which pay rates to use for each employee.
Determining how to distribute labor and how to treat its associated burden.
Identifying specific billing rates to charge customers for employee time.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Time and Labor system also integrates with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll, General Accounting, and Accounts Payable systems from Oracle. Time and Labor is particularly important to Payroll. Payroll uses time entry records to calculate employees' gross payment amounts. Because of this dependency, an understanding of Time and Labor is prerequisite to understanding the Payroll system.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Time and Labor system integrates with other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems because the system stores information that it processes in a central database. Using integrated software with a central database:

Eliminates redundant data entry.
Maintains current and accurate information across all of the business operations.
Improves communication between departments.
