You can let people enter payroll cost information by creating dependent fields for the
independent Payroll Time Type time attribute.
Set up cost fields as dependent time card fields of the
related independent Payroll Time Type time attribute. Use the Time Entry Layout Components
task in the Time and Labor functional area.
Before you start
Prepare cost segment time attributes for use in time card
fields using this basic process:
- Create payroll value sets using the Payroll Value Sets task.
- Set up the cost allocation key flexfield using the Cost Allocation Key Flexfield
task.
- Set up the cost allocation key flexfield usage to be available at the element entry
level.
- Generate the costing time attributes using the Generate Data Dictionary Time
Attributes task.
Here's what to do
-
Create or edit an independent time card field that has the Payroll Time Type time
attribute.
-
Create the dependent field.
- Be sure to set the independent attribute to Payroll Time
Type.
- Remember, your availability selection decides what display options people have
when they configure time layouts. Here's the appropriate availability selection
for legislative data groups that do and don't share costing structures.
| Shared by LDGs |
Availability Setting |
| Yes |
You can make the costing structure available to
all independent attribute values. |
| No |
You must create multiple dependent fields and
specify the independent attribute values for each dependent
field. |
-
Add the data sources and filters to the field selected in the General Properties
section.
-
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.
-
Add the filter variables and input attributes for the filtered data
source.
-
Add the dependent costing fields to the appropriate layouts in the layout set. The
availability setting that you selected when you create the dependent field decides
your display options in time card layouts.
