Selecting the Corrective Method for Default Retro Processing

If you select Corrective as the Default Retro Method on the Countries page, the system completes the following steps when retroactive processing occurs:

1. Recalculates the elements of the pay run that are defined to be recalculated during retro.

2. Replaces previous calculations with the recalculated values for the elements of the pay run.

3. Updates balance and segment accumulators in the recalculated period.

4. Computes retro deltas and stores them in the recalculated period.

5. Computes the retro adjustment for elements of the pay run that are defined as forwarding element overrides (on the Retro Process Overrides page).

6. Determines if any differences exist between the net pay from the prior calculation and the recalculation.

7. Banking processes the differences. Reverses all segments for net pay entries from the prior calculation where the net pay isn't being forwarded.

   Inserts new segment net pay entries from the recalculation where the net pay isn't being forwarded.

8. Distributes all net payments according to the net distribution sets matching the run type, the EmplID/Empl Record (employee ID and employee record), and period ID combination.

   Deletes all entries where the sum is zero.

Note:

If the net difference is negative, the system takes the amount and assigns it to the primary account.

Note:

In the case of a payroll reversal, the banking process posts the reversal of the prior period and posts new calculated values in addition to the difference.
