Understanding Rollovers

You use rollover programs to carry balances forward at the end of the year for pay types, deductions, benefits, and accruals (PDBAs) and to create the beginning balances for the next year. You need to carry these balances forward to correctly process payroll cycles in the new year.

For PDBAs with ending balances that do not need to be calculated, the system rolls over the accumulated total to the new year. No special DBA setup is necessary. For benefits and accruals with balances that must first be calculated, you must set up rollover information for the DBA. For example, you might need to subtract vacation taken from vacation available before the balance can be rolled over. You must also set up rollover information for all DBAs whose balances must be rolled over at a time other than the end of the calendar year.

This table describes the types of years that you can specify for rollovers:

Year

Description

Standard year

The calendar year, January through December

Fiscal year

The organization's fiscal year

Anniversary year

Employee anniversary dates, such as birth date or hire date, in which the rollover date (year-end date) varies for each employee

User defined year

A user-defined date

This table describes the two types of rollover programs that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system provides:

Rollover Program

Description

Year-End

Use the Year-End Rollover program (P07390) to process DBAs that roll over balances at the end of the standard year. These programs use the previous year's deduction, benefit, and accrual balances to create beginning balances for the new year. You should run these programs after you process the last payroll of the year. You can roll calendar-month and payroll-month history using this program.

The system maintains historical balances for the standard year in these tables:

  • F06145

  • F06146

Anniversary

Use the Leave Balance Rollover program (R073910) to process DBAs that are set up to roll over balances at times other than the end of the standard year.

The system maintains historical balances for fiscal and anniversary years in the F06147 table.

The system maintains balances in different tables because of the differences among calendar months, payroll months, calendar years, and anniversary years. For example, when a pay cycle crosses calendar months, monthly DBA totals are different for the payroll month and calendar month; but year-to-date (YTD) totals remain the same, unless the cycle also crosses calendar years.

You can use online review programs to review benefits and accruals history and year-to-date balances for anniversary history.
