Reference: Causes of Labor Cost Summary Reversals

Workday reverses or recalculates labor cost summaries if you retroactively change a configuration or time entry.
Workday reverses labor cost summaries when:
  • You retroactively add or delete a time block in a summarized period.
  • You change a configuration for labor cost summaries.
  • You retroactively change a time block in a summarized period.
    • Example: You change a worktag or the quantity of time.
  • You change the project, project company currency, or worker company currency.
    • Worker company currency only applies when you've selected
      Company from Worker
      on the
      Set Up Project Labor Cost Summary Configuration
      task.
When you're using advanced project labor costing, Workday recalculates labor cost summaries when:
  • You retroactively add or delete a time block in a summarized period.
  • You change a worker's job profile as of the end date of the scheduled advanced labor cost job recurrence.
    • Example: A worker changes jobs on 2023-1-15. You schedule the advanced labor cost job for
      Weekly Recurrence
      , and you schedule a labor cost summary for
      Monthly Recurrence
      . On your next labor cost summary, Workday uses the new job profile that's active on 2023-1-15 to summarize the first week of January, because it's the job profile active on 2023-1-31, the date Workday creates the summary.
  • You change the time calculation type.
  • You terminate a worker as of the end date of a scheduled labor cost summary.
    • Example: You terminate a worker on 2023-1-15. You schedule the advanced labor cost job for
      Weekly Recurrence
      and you schedule labor cost summaries for
      Monthly Recurrence
      . On your next labor cost summary, Workday creates a labor cost summary for the first week of January. All time blocks entered after this will be zero rated, because Workday evaluates scheduled hours as of the last day of the scheduled advanced labor cost job.
