Second Method for Setting the Comparison Period

Use

It is assumed that the third-party system has not received the data from the retroactive accounting periods. The third-party system only receives data from the original period.

In retroactive accounting for payroll, the preceding payroll periods are defined using the rule that the last original period is always used as the comparison period.

Rule

The system always uses the last original period as the comparison period.

Application and Procedure for this rule

On the selection screen for the export program , select the Only Original Periods radio button in the Export Options group box . The export program then uses the original payroll periods to check for changes.

Result

The retroactive periods in payroll are suppressed for the data export.

The comparison period for change validation is always an original period.

Example Example

The payroll periods listed in the table are applicable for an employee.

Only the original periods should be called up for the data export. The third-party system does not contain the data from the retroactive accounting periods.
