In Oracle Payroll Cloud, when an element's costing type is "Costed," the costing hierarchy determines how cost accounts are built. The correct sequence is Payroll, Element Eligibility, Department, Job, Position, Person, Element Entry (Option D). This hierarchy starts with the broadest level (Payroll), narrows to eligibility rules (Element Eligibility), then includes organizational (Department) and job-related (Job, Position) levels, and finally drills down to individual (Person) and transactional (Element Entry) levels. Options A, B, and C misorder the hierarchy, disrupting the logical flow from payroll-wide to entry-specific costing. Oracle's costing framework documentation defines this standard sequence for "Costed" elements.
