This section illustrates the costing process using Labor Costing as an example.

Oracle Projects allows you to enter detail labor transactions charged to your projects so that you can monitor labor work performed. Oracle Projects costs the items to compute the labor costs for your project, and determines the GL accounts to charge.
The following illustration shows the steps in the PRC: Distribute Labor Costs process:

The PRC: Distribute Labor Costs process handles labor items in the following order:

• Selects eligible expenditure items, based on the parameters you entered for project, employee, and week ending date.
• Costs the straight time items.
• Calls the Overtime Calculation program, if it is enabled.
• Costs overtime items, including overtime items created by the Overtime Calculation program.
•  

Note: If your transactions are not costing properly, you can view rejection reasons in the Expenditure Items window. From the Folder menu, choose the Show Field option to display all cost distribution rejections.
