Report Data and Segmentation

The Report Data feature manages four kinds of segments:

• Original segments

  Original segments correspond to all segments for version 1 revision 1 (V1R1) for a period. In this kind of segment, there is also a virtual segment. The virtual segment is created when there is corrective retroactivity but the pay group, run type, or payment key of the current period does not match the recalculated period.

• Recalculated segments

  Recalculated segments correspond to all segments other than V1R1 that were created during a calendar group run.

• Prior segments

  Prior segments correspond to the previous version/revision of all recalculated or reversal segments.

• Last version/revision

Here is how the system interprets the following situations:

• If a payee has only one calendar and only one segment, then the payee has one original segment.

• If a payee has one calendar and two segments, then the payee has two original segments.

• If a payee has two calendars and one segment, then the payee has two original segments.

• If a payee has one calendar and one segment for the current period, and a corrective retro back to the twelve previous periods (with the same pay group and two different payment keys), then the payee has two original segments even if Absence Management creates only one segment for the current period.
