Search Criteria for Labor Distribution

The system uses certain fields as search criteria to determine a valid account for distribution of labor, billings, and equipment entries. The system searches these AAIs for a specific company:

  • On the first pass, the system compares the time entry record's business unit, union, job type, job step, and pay type to the search criteria defined in the AAI for labor distribution and attempts to match the AAI search criteria to the appropriate journal type.

  • On each successive pass the system drops a value and uses a different combination of data fields for the search criteria.

  • Finally, if no matches exist in the rules for the specific company, the system searches the rules for Company 00000.

This example identifies the search criteria that the system uses to match information from the timecard for a specific company:

This example identifies additional search criteria that the system can use to match information from the timecard for Company 00000:

  • On the first pass, the system compares the time entry record's business unit, union, job type, job step, and pay type to the rule's search criteria and attempts to match these search criteria fields to the appropriate journal type.

  • On each successive pass, the system drops a value and uses a different combination of data fields as search criteria.

  • Finally, if no matches exist in the rules for the specific company, the system searches the rules for the default journal type, LD.
