Updating Payable Time After a Pay Run

After a pay run is finalized in Global Payroll, a Global Payroll user initiates a batch process, GPTLCOST, that updates the payable time entries in Time and Labor. The actions that the batch process performs depend on whether the Labor Distribution and Labor Dilution features are enabled in Time and Labor.

Labor Distribution and Labor Dilution Disabled

During the batch process, Global Payroll does the following:

• Changes the payable status to CL for each entry coded SP that was successfully processed and the pay system in not configured for the Time and Labor distribution process.

• Sets the Pay System flag to GP.

• Populates the Labor Distribution Amount field and the Diluted Labor Distribution Amount field with the estimated gross.

Labor Distribution and Labor Dilution Enabled

For each entry with a payable status of SP that was retrieved but not processed, the batch process changes the payable status to RP, unless the record was previously sent to another payroll system.

Global Payroll doesn't process a payable time entry when a user manually enters positive input for the same earnings or deduction element. User-entered positive input always takes precedence.

For each entry with a payable status of SP that was successfully processed, the batch process:

• Changes the payable status to TP.

• Sets the Pay System flag to GP.

• Sets the Frozen flag to Yes and the frozen date to the current date.

Global Payroll also sends the cost data associated with payable time entries to Time and Labor. It also returns the original Time and Labor sequence number for each payable time entry and the corresponding cross-reference numbers that Global Payroll generated during the bundling process. The cross-reference numbers indicate which entries were bundled, making it possible to link the costs calculated for earnings and deduction back to the daily detail. At the end of the batch process, Global Payroll invokes the Labor Distribution process and the Labor Dilution process, if applicable.
