Viewing Delta Values for Retroactive Calculations

When retroactive processing occurs for a payee, the system recalculates each element that is generated for the payee. The difference between the recalculated results and the original results is called the delta. A delta can represent an underpayment or an overpayment that results in an adjustment to the payee's earnings.

Retro Calculation Deltas page

Field or Control

Description

Amount Delta, Unit Delta, and Base Delta

Displays the difference between the original value and the recalculated value.

Corrected

Selected when the retroactive mode is corrective to indicate that the originally calculated value has been replaced by the recalculated value.

Forwarded

Selected when the retroactive method is forwarding or when the retroactive method is corrective and you have defined a forwarding exception. It indicates that the system forwarded each earning and deduction delta (that was defined for forwarding) to the current period as an adjustment or forwarded the value of the elements to a new element—depending on your instructions.

Forwarded To

This tab identifies the calendar group ID, the calendar, pay group and element that will receive the value of the element's retroactive delta in the current period.

Matching

Select the Matching tab.

During forwarding retroactive processing, the system forwards adjustments from the recalculated calendars to the current calendar when the Employee Record Number, Paying Entity, Pay Group, and Run Type match. If any of these items do not match, the system follows the forwarding instructions that are defined for the payee on the Unprocessed Retro Deltas page and that display on the Delta Amounts page.
