Distribution Override

Updated on

Overview

This job aid shows you how to override distribution in the LCD process.

Background

In the CSU Labor Cost Distribution (LCD) process, the CSU Distribution Override step is optional and only performed by campuses in specific cases.

After the CSU Paycheck Distribution process has completed successfully and all the CSU Paycheck Distribution Errors have been cleared, but before the final journal is created, you can:

  • Override LCD default distribution.
  • Retrieve distribution records and override the Combination Code information before you create the accounting lines.
  • Override the Combination Code to which the earnings, deductions, or taxes have been distributed.
  • Split the distribution amount into multiple rows, as long as the Earnings amount sums to the original distribution amount.

Changes will be stored directly on the CSU Pay Earnings Distribution table (CSU_PAY_ERN_DST).

Processing Steps

Step 1: Navigate to Menu > Payroll for North America > CSU Labor Cost Distribution > CSU LCD Processes > CSU Distribution Override

Step 2: Search for distributions to override.
