Transfer Absence Entries on the Timecard to Project Costing

Transfer eligible absence entries with project attributes from Time and Labor to Project Costing.

Use this enhancement to:

  • Transfer eligible absence entries with project attributes to Project Costing.
  • Preserve project attributes when absence entries are edited in Absence Management and interfaced back to Time and Labor, when possible.
  • Resend eligible absence entries to Project Costing after edits made in Absence Management are interfaced back to Time and Labor and the time card is reapproved.

Only absence types that are enabled for editing on the time card and have a unit of measure (UOM) of hours are eligible for transfer to Project Costing.

Improve project cost accuracy by transferring eligible absence entries with project attributes from Time and Labor to Project Costing.

Steps to enable and configure

  1. In Functional Setup Manager, click Change Feature Opt In and edit Time and Labor features. Enable the Transfer Absence Entries to Project Costing opt-in feature.
  2. In Time and Labor, set Absence Approval Routing on the Time Consumer Set to Time Approval Rules.
  3. In Absence Management, ensure that the absence type is enabled for editing on the time card and has a unit of measure of hours.

Tips and considerations

  • Project attributes cannot be viewed, entered or edited in Absence Management.  If a new entry is added to an absence using the Absence Management UI, you cannot associate project attributes without editing the timecard.
  • The time card isn't automatically resubmitted for approval after an absence is edited in Absence Management. To resubmit the time card for approval, you should run the Resubmit Timecard Process with the option to resubmit timecards identified by WFM Events.
