UAFR - Labor Redistributions (Detailed)

This document provides detailed step by step instructions for labor redistributions.

Go to the PZAREDS form in Banner
Enter all the information on the first screen:
1. ID is UIN (can click the three dots and search by POIIDEN List for Employee)
2. Payroll ID is either MN (Monthly) or BW (Biweekly)
3. Year and Payroll Numbers for both the beginning and ending of the range should be entered.
  1. Can select the three dots to select pay event from PZILIST
  2. End range defaults to beginning pay event and needs to be updated if changing multiple pay events.
4. Select Go on the right side of the screen to proceed.
Insert any additional limiting criteria and select OK to proceed.
The Earnings History and Labor Distribution tab involves two sections
1. Earnings History shows the pay events and related earning codes that are available for redistribution
2. Earnings Labor Distributions section shows the line item distribution details for the highlighted Earnings History item.
Select the Earnings History line you wish to correct and then click on the Edit Labor Distribution tab which has three sections.
1. The only field that needs to be changed in the upper section is the Posting Date field. This should be a date within one of the currently open periods in Banner. During year end, refer to the Year End Labor Redistribution Guide to determine the correct value for this field.
  1. Banner will not allow the transaction to proceed if this field is not correct.
  2. If you make changes and receive a date related error, select Tools in the upper right corner of the screen to open the dropdown list
    
    and select Cancel Changes near the bottom of the list to start fresh.
2. The Old Earnings Labor Distributions section is for reference to the prior distribution and represents the void portion, or what the CFOPS are getting moved FROM.
3. New Earnings Labor Distributions: These fields are editable and represent the redistribution portion, or what the CFOPs are getting changed TO.
  1. If Hours, Percent, or Amount are adjusted, the other two values on the line will calculate based on the change.
  2. This form can’t modify total amounts, only the distribution between CFOPs. Banner will not allow the user to proceed until New Hour/Percent/Amount totals equal the old totals. Sometimes there are rounding calculation differences. Select Tools in the top right to open the dropdown list and select Round Labor Distributions to correct.
  3. Banner will check CFOPs typed into the fields and provide an error message if appropriate. Banner will NOT check the CFOPs on the Old Earnings Labor Distributions List. Changes are not allowable on any line with a terminated CFOP segment as it will end up posting to payroll suspense and will need to be reversed.
After making changes in 5a and 5c, click the save button in the lower right.
Earnings History and Labor Distribution Tab: The first column in the Earnings History section will have a Status of X. The status will change as we confirm the transaction.
1. After confirming the line items select the Save button in the lower right. The status is now P and the Disposition is 47
2. Select Tools in the upper right corner to open the dropdown list and select Submit Redistributions. The Status is now S.
Move over to the comments tab and enter information in the Comments field. This field should concisely summarize why the adjustment was made and include the user’s information (name, department, email, phone number, etc.).
Select Save in the lower right.
As final confirmation, when you go back to the Earnings History and Labor Distribution Tab, the Status should be blank and the Disposition is 60. Disposition 60 means that the transaction will be finalized in the next nightly process (and will move Disposition 70 and be complete at that time). Further redistributions can be processed at this time.
Close out of the form using the X in the upper left

or select Start Over in the upper right to process another redistribution.

Never close out of the web browser before closing this form because it will lock the record to your name and other employees will not be able to make changes.
