Selecting the Forwarding Method for Default Retro Processing

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

1. The system recalculates the elements of the pay run that are defined to be recalculated during retro.

2. Recalculated values for the elements are used to compute the retro deltas for the recalculated period, but do not replace the previous calculations.

3. The system updates segment accumulators only. (Although you can define balance accumulators to behave in a corrective manner at the accumulator definition level and on the Earnings/Deductions Accumulators pages even when the retro method is forwarding).

4. The system computes retro deltas and stores them in the recalculated period.

5. The system computes the retro adjustment for elements of the pay run that are defined to be forwarded (on the Retro Process Overrides page).

6. The banking process picks up only the net pay from the current period calculation because differences from the prior recalculated periods are included in the current period.
