Understanding Integration with PeopleSoft Time and Labor

PeopleSoft Project Costing, which is in the Financials database, integrates with PeopleSoft Time and Labor, which is in the Human Capitol Management System (HCM) database, to bring estimated gross labor costs and distributed, actual labor costs into PeopleSoft Project Costing.

To enable data transfer during a payroll period, PeopleSoft Time and Labor uses an estimation process that links to PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll to summarize hours and labor expenses. After the close of a payroll period, PeopleSoft Time and Labor distributes payroll expenses to the Payable Time table (TL_PAYABLE_TIME). The transaction rows that have a value for project business unit, project ID, and activity ID are brought into PeopleSoft Project Costing using enterprise integration points (EIPs).

To maintain integrity between the Financials and HCM databases, necessary data from each database is extracted to staging tables that are set up identically in each database. The staging tables are available to the integrating application.
