Configure Labor Costing Override Fields in the Unified Time Entry Experience

Let people enter payroll costing information by creating the appropriate single-attribute fields using the Time Entry Layout Components task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. The task is part of the Workforce Deployment offering, Time and Labor functional area.

Before you start

Prepare cost segment time attributes for use in time card fields using this basic process:

1. Create payroll value sets using the Payroll Value Sets task.
2. Set up the cost allocation key flexfield using the Cost Allocation Key Flexfield task.
3. Set up the cost allocation key flexfield usage to be available at the element entry level.
4. Generate the costing time attributes using the Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes task.

Here's what to do

1. Create the single-attribute time card field.
2. Complete the general properties.
3. In the Time Attribute field, search for and select the appropriate general or common payroll cost segment.
4. Add the data sources and filters.
   1. Select the unfiltered data source and filtered data source for the cost attribute. Typically, the most appropriate source is the first value in the list.
   2. Add the filter variables and input attributes for the filtered data source.

What to do next

Add the costing field to the appropriate unified time entry layout.
