One of your ideas has been delivered from your suggestion.Project Cost Transactions for Persons with Inactive or Suspended HR Assignments

Import new person-related cost transactions, such as time cards and expense reports, regardless of the status of the person's HR assignment. Configure the project transaction source documents for which person assignment status validations are not executed. Previously, new transactions could be imported only if the person's associated HR assignment was active.

For example, a person's HR assignment can be suspended, yet the person is still eligible for payroll processing. If you're using Labor Distribution to distribute payroll costs to projects, then the payroll costs incurred for the person's suspended HR assignment would be rejected during processing, as the assignment is not active as of the project cost dates. With this feature, you can configure the Labor Distribution project transaction source document to allow these project costs.

The business benefits are:

  • More accurate and complete accumulation of project costs, by allowing transactions which were previously not permitted.
  • Save time otherwise spent analyzing and resolving cost processing exceptions due to person HR assignment status validations by preventing these exceptions from being raised.

Steps to Enable

In the Manage Project Transaction Sources setup page, enable the Allow transactions for inactive or suspended person assignments check box on the project transaction source documents for which you want to allow project cost transactions for persons with inactive or suspended HR assignments, as illustrated below.

Tips And Considerations

  • Oracle Fusion Time and Labor doesn't transfer hours to Project Costing if they are reported on days after a person's termination date even if you allow transactions for inactive or suspended person assignments for the Oracle Fusion Time and Labor Time Card document.
  • The Allow transactions for inactive or suspended person assignments document option takes precedence over the Allow Cost Transactions Until Certain Days After Person Termination (ORA_PJC_ALLOW_COSTS_UNTIL_DAYS_AFTER_PERS_TERM) administrator profile option, if you are using both.
  • With this feature enabled, the status of a person's assignment is not validated. However Project Costing still requires an HR assignment as of the transaction date for a person-related project cost.
