    Default Labor Distribution & "Current" Labor Distribution

Default Labor Distribution & "Current" Labor Distribution

Default Labor Distribution Description

The Default Labor Distribution will auto-populate based on the Organization field and Job Category field. The Default Labor Distribution Start Date is directly from e-Business Suite. View the Alternate Labor Distribution -- Budget Line web page to learn about the Budget Line field and request link.

Labor Distribution as of the Effective Date Description ("Current")

The "Labor Distribution as of Effective Date" will auto-populate based on the appointment's current (active) labor distribution. This labor distribution (LD) is the result of another PAF requesting an alternate LD and therefore is directly from e-Business Suite.

GUIDELINES

LD Tab Processing Rules

On the LD tab, Summary tab, and PDF file, the LD which will be used for processing is designated by [PAF LD]. This text will appear to the right of the LD heading in light grey text. The following is the logic in processing order:

  1. If an alternate LD is present it will be used.
  2. If an alternate LD is not present, then the "Labor Distribution as of Effective Date" LD will be used if the End Date on this row is blank or the "Labor Distribution as of Effective Date" LD End Date is AFTER the PAF Effective Date. NOTE: This row only appears if an alternate LD was provided in a previous PAF.
  3. If #1 and #2 in this list do not apply, then the Default LD will be used.

Special Notes

  1. If the Default LD is being used (indicated by [PAF LD]) and the dates are incorrect, this does not impact payroll processing. Therefore, if the dates are wrong, you do NOT need to create an alternate of the default account just to change the dates.
  2. The opposite applies to the "Labor Distribution as of Effective Date" LD's End Date - these dates are critical. If the "Labor Distribution as of Effective Date" LD End Date is blank, and you no longer want to use that LD, you must add an Alternate LD.
  3. If you receive an error message indicating the account is invalid, double-check your data entry. If you feel it is correct, contact the Budget Office at 273-2383 or brenda.neff@uni.edu to request a new labor distribution account be added.
