Time Administration updates the original payable time whenever you change reported time that relates to payable time with a payable status of Estimated-Ready for Payroll.

No reason code is associated with this status.

Needs Approval (NA)

If the workgroup or TRC is set up to require approval of payable time, the Time Administration process sets this status. It is similar to Estimated except that the time must be approved before it can be sent to a payroll system. You approve time using the Approve Payable Time page.

These reason codes can be associated with the Closed status:

  • Not Sent to Payroll (NSP) – Time and Labor sets this reason code when payable status changes to Closed.

  • Not Distributed (NDS) – When the payroll system (GP or PNA) successfully processes time, and the pay system is not configured for the Time and Labor Distribution process, payroll sets the payable status code to Closed and the reason code to Not Distributed.

  • Record Adjustment (RAJ) – Time and Labor sets the payable status to Closed and the reason code to record adjustment (RAJ) when paid time is adjusted in Time and Labor.

No Pay (NP)

Used by the Project Costing application only. The No Pay status is a status used to reflect transaction rows that are not going to payroll but are in a closed state.

When payable time reaches the closed stage, the system turns on the frozen indicator. Payable status is set to this status when any of the following conditions are met:

  • The Send Time to Payroll check box is cleared on the Maintain Time Reporter Data page.

  • The status of the TRC is not Active .

  • Time is approved and the Publish unmapped TRC as No Pay check box on the TL Installation page is selected.

  • Time is approved and ACTUAL_TIME_ADD publishes the information to PeopleSoft Project Costing. Project Costing generates a NPY and a TLB row for each DUR.

Not Sent to Payroll (NSP) – Time and Labor sets this status and reason code when the TRC is not mapped to an earnings code. This reason code differentiates payable time that is closed without being sent to payroll (suspended) and payable time that is closed because it is sent to payroll.

1. The Publish unmapped TRC as No Pay check box is selected on the Time and Labor Installation page.

2. The Maintain Time Reporter Data - Send to Payroll check box is selected.

3. The related TRC is not associated with an earnings code.

Ignore (IG)

When a Time and Labor user indicates on the Adjust Paid Time page that rows that have been rejected by the payroll system should not be paid, Time and Labor sets this payable status.

The Set Ignore Status for Not Ok to Pay check box on the TL Installation page defines the payable time status code and reason codes that Time and Labor sets during the Distribution Dilution process when a no pay other earning or pay earning are processed: If the check box is selected, then Time and Labor sets this payable status.

Payable time rows with this status are never pulled by Global Payroll.

Manual Reject (MJR) – Time and Labor associates this reason code to rows when it changes the status to Ignore.

Not Used (NUS) – Global Payroll adds this reason code to payable time with this status.

Denotes offset rows that should be ignored by Global Payroll.

Reversed Check (RV)

This status code exists to handle check reversals in PNA. The PNA Reversal process generates payable time rows with this status. Time and Labor generates the reversed payable time row and any new payable time to be loaded in a subsequent Load process. This process occurs after PNA has successfully completed the Confirm Pay process.

Note: If the process ends abnormally, you must restart the process from the Process Monitor.

The reason code that is associated with the Reversed Check status is always Reversed (CRV).
