Labor Distribution Adjustment (LDA)
The Labor Distribution Adjustment (LDA) activity folder allows you to query the payroll expense, fringe expense, contract pay expense and leave accrual expense journal records based on Chart of Accounts (COA) information, employee information, or payroll accounting transaction information. By utilizing this search, you can a select the journal record that needs to be adjusted and create a Labor Cost Redistribution transaction with key attributes and original accounting information pre-populated with the corresponding values from the selected journal record.
After a journal record is selected from the search results on the LDA page, you can create an LCRR transaction by selecting the Create Labor Cost Redistribution Request action from the row-level menu. Once this link is selected, a new LCRR transaction is created, and the information available on the selected journal records is copied to the corresponding fields on the LCRR transaction, such as employee information, dollar amount, and COA elements. The created LCRR transaction contains two sets of COAs; one set for the original COAs and one set for the revised COAs. When the LCRR transaction is created, both original COAs and revised COAs are pre-populated with the corresponding COA values from the journal record selected.
Based on the journal type, different amount fields are used to populate the Dollar Amount on the Labor Cost Redistribution Request transaction. If the journal record selected is from either the Payroll Expense Journal, Contract Pay Expense Journal, or the Leave Accrual Expense Journal, the Dollar Amount on LCRR is populated with the Contract Pay Amount value from the selected journal record. If the journal record selected is from the Fringe Expense Journal, the Dollar Amount on LCRR is populated with the Fringe Amount value from the selected journal record.

Therefore, you may only search against one journal table at one time.
