How are the process start date and process end date parameters used?

For Payroll data (Element Entries, Payment Methods etc.), all date effective records spanned by the extraction window (process start date and process end date) are extracted.

Process Start Date helps the system to complete the extraction window.

Process End Date is used as the effective-as-of-date to identify date effective records to be extracted.

Note: If no values are provided for the Process Start Date and Process End Date parameters, system defaults them to system date.
