HM (hierarchy method)

This code is used to retrieve the business unit and subsidiary accounts for burden distribution. The Hierarchy Method controls the Business Unit and the Subsidiary values.

The available methods are:

Business unit: Employee Home Business Unit unless a table override exists
Subsidiary: No Subsidiary.
Subledger/Type: No Subledger or Subledger Type.
Business unit: Employee Home Business Unit unless a table override exists
Subsidiary: Labor Distribution Subsidiary unless a table override.
Subledger/Type: Labor Distribution Subledger and Type.
Business unit: Labor Business Unit unless a table override exists.
Subsidiary: No Subsidiary.
Subledger/Type: Labor Distribution Subledger and Type.
Business unit: Labor Business Unit unless a table override exists.
Subsidiary: Labor Distribution Subsidiary unless a table override.
Subledger/Type: Labor Distribution Subledger and Type.
Business unit: Employee Home Business Unit unless a table override exists
Subsidiary: Labor Distribution Subsidiary unless a table override.
Subledger/Type: No Subledger or Subledger Type.
Business unit: Labor Business Unit unless a table override exists.
Subsidiary: Labor Distribution Subsidiary unless a table override.
Subledger/Type: No Subledger or Subledger Type.

Obj (object)

Indicates portion of a general ledger account that refers to the division of the Cost Code (for example, labor, materials, and equipment) into subcategories. For example, you can divide the Cost Code for labor into regular time, premium time, and burden.

Note: If you use a flexible chart of accounts and the object account is set to 6 digits, you should normally use all 6 digits. For example, entering 000456 is not the same as entering 456 because if you enter 456 the system enters three blank spaces to fill a 6-digit object.

Timecard Obj (timecard object)

Indicates object account where labor is posted. All object accounts which might have wages posted to them must be entered into this field. This is the major element in determining where the corresponding burden is to be posted. If a business unit is defined, this field represents the unique labor object accounts associated to the job

To set up Company 00000, type 00000 in this field; otherwise, to set up a specific company, enter a valid object.

Timecard Bus. Unit (timecard business unit)

Identifies the Business Unit the system searches to determine the accounting distribution. When defining the default rules (Company 00000), leave the Business Unit blank for the system to retrieve the Business Unit number entered on the Employee timecard, or from the Employee's Home Business Unit.

You can use the Skip to Business Unit field in the header part of the screen to specify the Business Unit to be displayed first in the lower part of the screen.

Timecard Sub (timecard subsidiary)

Identifies subsidiary account associated with the labor object account. If both a Labor object and subsidiary account are defined, the combination may determine the burden accounts to be used in creating the distribution. This method will accommodate unconventional coding of the cost codes in a job cost environment, for example, the usage of cost codes to define a type of labor, versus using just the object account.

Sub (subset)

Indicates subset of an object account. Subsidiary accounts include detailed records of the accounting activity for an object account.

Note: If you are using a flexible chart of accounts and the object account is set to six digits, you must use all six digits. For example, entering 000456 is not the same as entering 456 because, if you enter 456, the system enters three blank spaces to fill a six-digit object.
