When should you execute the Time and Labor – Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes process if you are implementing only Oracle Project Costing?

The "Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes" process synchronizes descriptive flexfields and project-costing attributes (such as project, task, and expenditure type) into the Time and Labor data dictionary. This makes them available for use in time card layouts and for validation. When new projects or tasks are created in Oracle Project Costing, this process must be run to make these new values available for selection on time cards. It is an essential maintenance step for ensuring that time can be accurately reported against the most current project data.

A. Running the process daily is a possible scheduling strategy, but the actual trigger is the creation of new data, not the passage of a day.

C. This is incorrect. The process is mandatory to integrate Project Costing attributes with Time and Labor for time entry.

D. While attributes must exist in the dictionary before being added to a layout, the fundamental reason to run the process is new project/task creation, not accessing the setup task itself.

E. The process is run during the initial implementation, but it must also be run on an ongoing basis whenever new project-related data is added.

1. Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM: Implementing Time and Labor

Release 23D

Chapter: Time Attributes

Section: How You Generate the Time Data Dictionary.

Quote: "You run the Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes process after you enable time attributes for the first time and after you create new projects and tasks for use in Time and Labor." This directly confirms that the process is run when new projects and tasks are created.

2. Oracle Fusion Cloud Project Management: Implementing Project Financial Management

Release 23D

Chapter: Define Project-Driven Supply Chain

Section: Set Up Integration with Other Applications.

Content Reference: This section details the integration points between Project Costing and other modules like Time and Labor. It implicitly supports the need for synchronization processes like "Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes" to ensure data consistency for time capture against projects. The documentation emphasizes that for time entry layouts to display project costing fields

the underlying attributes must be made available to the Time and Labor application.
