The System Checks your Entries

You choose	The system
A retroactive accounting limit that meets the statutory regulations	Determines the archiving date by suggesting the latest date to take account of the selected retroactive accounting limit and the minimum interval of two calendar years
A retroactive accounting limit that is later than allowed by the statutory regulations	Sets the retroactive accounting limit to the latest date to take account of the statutory deadlines, and uses it to determine the default archiving date
An archiving date that is compatible with the statutory regulations on the retroactive accounting limit	Suggests a corresponding retroactive accounting limit
An archiving date that is later than allowed by the statutory regulations on the retroactive accounting limit	Requires you to enter a different archiving date, which it then uses to determine a default retroactive accounting limit
