Cost Redistribution – Hourly Employee

Steps

  1. Enter a Personnel No.; press Enter to populate employee and selected assignment information.
  2. To verify the correct assignment if there is more than one, click on Assignment Overview. Select the correct assignment, then click Ok.
  3. Double-click New Distribution Change in the action screen on the left.
  4. Indicate the date range to view pay records. If a To date is not entered, the system will default the end date to 12/31/9999.
  5. Press Enter. A Reason Code field appears between the employee information and the date range. Enter or Choose CH-Permissible Account Change.
  6. Double-click New Distribution Change from the action screen on the left. A list of pay records within the entered date range appears on the right.

  13. If applicable, choose a Functional Area other than the default of 99999999.
  14. Repeat the above steps as needed for additional lines.
  15. Edit Pct (percentages) for each line so that they total 100. The percentages (Pct) must total 100% across all permissible accounts, and a permissible account cannot have a percentage of zero. The percentage does not determine the amount that can be spent from that permissible account. Permissible accounts can incur costs; they do not actually incur costs until time is entered and approved.
  16. Press Enter to have the system check your entries. It also populates the first column and any Name columns for updated accounting line elements.
