Oracle Time and Labor - Change and Late Audit

Question

Dear All,
We are using Payroll Layout and Single Day period.
Timecard has only Hour Type (Regular Time, Overtime & So on.) and In / Out.
We have Swipe Machines. Employee Swipes In & Out. Every night these entries are deposited in OTL with Submitted mode.
Next day Employee is allowed to modify these entries in accordance with Time Policies.
For e.g. Timecard shows 08:30 to 19:30 as Regular Hour. Employee can modify 08:30 to 17:00 as Regular Time and 18:00 to 19:30 as Overtime Hour Type.
Now the problem is Approver would like to know exact change, as what was the Original Entry and What is the modified entry.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Can Change and Late Audit work on Payroll Layout?
I am unable to find Payroll Change & Late Audit Layout. Only Project Change and Late Audit Layouts are available and we are not using Project.

Hi 864434,
An easier way would have been to use Earning policies.
You can define rules which would automatically split the earning types to Overtime etc..
This is a very simple setup too.
Some examples here -
Oracle Time and Labor (OTL) OTLR California Overtime Policy Setup and Examples [ID 1451080.1]
This way, the layout would show what the employee has actually worked and how the rules are applied to split it, all on one page.
But if you don't want to go that route..
Can you not use the data from the swipe machines ?
I guess you would load the data into an temporary table.
So you can write a discoverer report which would show the actual times for each employee.
On the layouts, there are only some predefined ones.
Others, you will have to create on your own(may be by customising a seeded one)
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
