Retroactive Costing

The Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Changes process creates costing for retroactive run results. The Calculate Retroactive Costing process recalculates costs after you update costing setups. These are the only two processes cost results retroactively.

Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Costing

Submit the Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Changes process:

• Calculates the retroactive pay and costs the retroactive pay results

• Records the difference found between the original entry and the retroactive result for the current payroll period

Tip: If you don't see the costing results you expect, confirm that you created costing setups for each retroactive element whose run results the application costs.

Calculate Retroactive Costing

Submit the Calculate Retroactive Costing process and complete the submission date parameters, as described in this table.

Parameter	Purpose
Process Start Date	The date when the update to the costing setup should take effect
Process End Date	The date when the current payroll period ends, which is used as the accounting date for the costing record

The process:

• Compares the recalculated and original entries

• Where the results are different, the process offsets the original entries and creates new entries for the current payroll period

Note: The Calculate Retroactive Costing process doesn't prorate costing results based on updates to costing setups made within the payroll period.
