How To: Review and Approve Labor Distribution Adjustments

Who does this?  Individuals with approval authority over the PTAs charged in a Labor Distribution Adjustment

When?  Labor Distribution Adjustments require review and approval by authorized personnel for each PTA charged. Approvers can return LDA's if not enough information is provided, or when modifications to the original transaction are necessary.

How?  Using the Workflow Notifications module of Oracle Financials. Approvals are performed after confirming that:

• The expenditure is reasonable, necessary and complies with all University policies,
• The charges are correct, allowable for the account, allocable, and properly coded,
• Charges are appropriately documented and are recorded in a consistent manner, and
• Funds are available in the account being charged.
