Key Flexfield Definition

Cost Allocation Flex field

The Cost Allocation Flex field plays the same role in Oracle Payroll that the Accounting Flex field plays in Oracle General Ledger. It defines a structure to the various accounts under which costs can be booked for the business group. Costing is required in Oracle Payroll to allocate the various labor costs to the relevant accounts. Once the flex field has been defined, it is necessary to map the Payroll Flex field segments with the GL FF segments. 

Configuration Steps

1.      Go to System Administration > Application > Flex Field > Key > Segments

2.      Query for “Cost Allocation Flexfield” in the Flexfield Title. Define a new structure.
