You only want to export wage types if they have changed from one payroll period to another. You activate change validation for your wage types by assigning single wage types to change validation using the Create function. (For more information on creating objects in change validation, see Creating Objects).

The following problem can occur in this situation.

A wage type from a payroll period does not exist in the export file. It is unclear whether the wage type did not occur in this payroll period, or whether it has a value identical to the value in the comparison period.

There are two possible solutions to this problem:

· The user is active:

You provide information on whether the wage type still exists in the payroll period. You can do this using an additional wage type. This additional wage type acts as a switch (switch wage type). The system generates the switch wage type if the original wage type no longer exists.

· The Interface Toolbox is active with the Delimit function:

You can delimit the wage type using the corresponding function. The system generates the character "<" for the wage type in question. The delimitation sign means that the wage type is no longer valid for the employee.

If change validation and delimitation are active for the wage type, then the Total Gross Amount wage type has the following result data for the data export:

1. The wage type in the 02 in 02 payroll period is not exported since the total value of the wage type has not changed when compared with the values in the 01 in 01 payroll period.
2. The wage type is not exported in the 02 in 03 and 03 in 03 payroll periods, since the total value for the wage type has not changed from the value in the 01 in 03 payroll period.
3. In the 03 in 04 payroll period, the wage type is delimited, since it no longer exists.
4. The wage type no longer exists in the 04 in 04 payroll period since the system has already transferred the delimitation information to the 03 in 04 payroll period
