Costing is Allocated According To Assignment Split Even When Segments are Defined on the Element Entry (Doc ID 3023031.1)

Last updated on MAY 16, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Payroll - Version 12.1.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Costing information is entered on an element entry and the employee also has costing information entered at assignment level. When the Costing process is run, the correct costing codes are charged, but are split out using the proportions set at assignment level.

It is expected to have a single line of costing data when costing codes are entered at element entry level since it is higher in priority than assignment for costing.

Example:

  1. Set up assignment costing:

    40%:
    Company                  01
    Cost Center             100
    GL Code                 5800
    Labor Distribution    0000
    Product                    000

    60%
    Company                  01
    Cost Center             210
    GL Code                 5800
    Labor Distribution    0000
    Product                    000


    2. Set costing for Regular Salary in Element Entries

    Company                  01
    Cost Center            300
    GL Code                5800
    Labor Distribution   0000
    Product                   000

    3. Ran QuickPay

        Regular Salary paid  1153.85

    4. Ran Costing

    Results for Regular Salary:

    01.300.5800.0000.000    461.54  (40%)
    01.300.5800.0000.000    692.31  (60%)

    ==> Costing is going to account setup at element entry, but is being split by the assignment allocation percentage.

 


The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

From XX HRMS Manager
1. Enter Costing details on an element entry
    Navigate: People > Enter and Maintain > Assignment > Entries
2. Run Costing process
    Navigate: Processes and Reports > Submit Processes and Reports > Single Request
3. Run Costing Detail Report and see the element costing is split by the proportions set at assignment level.
    Navigate: Processes and Reports > Submit Processes and Reports > Single Request
