You can answer employees' questions about their year-to-date balances for PDBAs that have fiscal and anniversary history. In addition to year-to-date balances, you can review balances forwarded from a previous year and inception-to-date amounts.
Depending on how you set up the system, it stores fiscal and anniversary history for those PDBAs that have any of the following characteristics:
A balance that must be calculated using related PDBAs
An inception-to-date limit
An annual limit
A rollover date other than the end of the calendar year
The year-to-date amounts that this program displays might differ from the year-to-date amounts on the Payroll Register. This happens because the year-to-date amounts on the Payroll Register are payroll month totals from the Payroll Month PDBA Summary History table (F06146), which are not affected by fiscal and anniversary rollovers from the Fiscal/Anniversary Year History table (F06147).
