- COSTING DESCRIPTION
Recording the costs of an assignment for accounting or reporting purposes
Using Oracle Payroll, you can calculate and transfer costing information to your general ledger and into systems for project management or labor distribution.
1.1 COST ALLOCATION FLEXFIELD
When implementing and using Oracle HRMS, you make selections from the lists in the Cost Allocation flexfield segments as follows:
- When defining a payroll, you can select a code for the company or ledger holding the labor costs from the payroll.
- When linking an element representing an earnings type such as Regular Salary, a deduction such as Union Dues, or an employer charge such as a benefit plan contribution, you select a GL code that the element's results should debit or credit, and a code for the balancing GL account to credit or debit.
Note: As well as making entries to the Cost Allocation flexfield at the element link level, you also enter on each link, essential information about the type of costing the system should do for the link. Available types include Costed, Fixed Costed, and Distributed.
Cost Allocation information normally records the details of employee costing associated with payroll results. If you have installed Oracle Payroll, you can accumulate the costs associated with your payroll results and transfer these to your General Ledger system. If you have not installed Oracle Payroll you can use the costing flexfield to enter your cost allocation information.
After you have specified your requirements for recording and reporting costing information, follow this plementation sequence:
Warning: You must define at least one segment for the Cost Allocation Key Flexfield. If you do not, you will experience problems using windows with the flexfield window.
1.2 COST ALLOCATION FLEXFIELD VALUE SETS
To validate the values, which a user can enter for any segment, you must define a specific Value Set.
The attributes of the Value Set control the type of values that can be entered, and how many characters each segment can hold. The attributes of the Value Set will also control how the values are to be validated.
Value Sets can be shared by different segments of the same flexfield, or by segments of any other flexfield.
1.3 COST ALLOCATION ENTRY LEVEL TABLE
The following table describes the cost allocation entry levels:

1.4 COST ALLOCATION FLEXFIELD SEGMENTS
Oracle HRMS implementers and users make selections from the lists in the Cost Allocation flexfield's segments at different levels, that is, in several different Oracle HRMS windows.
However, in a particular window, they usually need to access only certain segments of the flexfield.
Example:
When defining a payroll you need only the segment containing the companies or sets of books to which a payroll's labor costs should go. When defining a link for an earnings or deduction element, you may need only the segment containing the list of the costing and balancing GL codes. You are likely need the segment containing the list of cost centers only when defining an organization or employee assignment, or making an element entry.
You control the appearance of a Cost Allocation flexfield segment in a particular window by enabling qualifiers for the segment. When you enable a particular qualifier for a segment, this causes the segment to appear and be available for entry in a particular window, as follows:

1.5 COST ALLOCATION FLEXFIELD QUALIFIERS
Define a structure for your Cost Allocation Flexfield, which contains the segments you want to use for your Business Group. You will use this structure to enter your payroll costing details in Oracle HRMS.
You must enter Yes in the Allow Dynamic Inserts field. If you enter No, you will not be able to enter Costing details anywhere on the system.
Note: You do not need to use a Value Set to validate a segment. If you do not specify a Value Set then a user can enter any alphanumeric value up to a limit of 150 characters.
The Cost Allocation Flexfield is the only key flexfield in Oracle HRMS that makes use of Qualifiers. You use Segment Qualifiers to control the level at which costing information can be
entered to the system. Each Qualifier determines the level at which costing information can be entered. The following table illustrates the six possible choices for each segment:

The following table lists the five levels, and the correct order of processing priority.

A code entered at a lower level can override a code entered at a higher level. This means that if a segment is populated at element entry level, it overrides all other levels. You can enable as many qualifiers as necessary for a particular segment.

- In the Name field, select the report name. Then enter the Parameters field to open the Parameters window.

- Choose the Submit button
2.5 MAPPING COST ALLOCATION TO THE ACCOUNTING FLEXFIELD
If your installation includes Oracle Payroll and Oracle General Ledger, you can run the Transfer to GL process in each payroll period after you have run the Costing process. The Transfer to GL process transfers costing results to the GL Accounting flexfield. Before running this process, you must map segments of the Cost Allocation flexfield to the corresponding segment of the Accounting flexfield for each payroll. To do this, use the GL Map window.
2.5.1 Nav: View → GL Map Window
To map Cost Allocation to Accounting flexfield segments:
- Set your effective date to the date from which this mapping should take effect.
- Query the payroll for which you are performing the mapping. Its period type appears in the Period field.
- Select the set of books for whose Accounting flexfield you are performing the mapping. Costing information from a payroll can go to only one set of books.
- Select the name of a Cost Allocation flexfield segment in the Payroll Costing Segment field for which a corresponding segment exists in the Accounting flexfield. Select the name of the corresponding segment in the GL Chart of Accounts Segment field. Repeat this process for all the Cost Allocation flexfield segments for which there is a corresponding segment in the Accounting flexfield.
- Save your entries.
