Proration and Rounding Processing

The system goes through the following steps when prorating and rounding an earning or deduction element:

1. For each segment or slice, retrieves the components of the calculation rule.

2. For each segment or slice, prorates the applicable components.

   Note:

   Percent component and rate component are not subject to proration.

3. Rounds the components.

4. Resolves the segment or slice.

5. Rounds the segment or slice resolved amount.

The PRORATE System Element

Proration of an earning or deduction element can be triggered in one of two ways: through segmentation or through the use of the PRORATE system element.

You can use the PRORATE system element to invoke proration for an earning or deduction element, even when there's no segmentation. To do this, create a pre process formula that defines the conditions under which PRORATE is set to Y. If the conditions are satisfied, proration occurs using the proration rule associated with the earning or deduction element. In your post-process formula, be sure to include instructions to reset PRORATE to N.
