Example 3: Third-Party Payroll System Runs Retroactive Accounting (R2) 

A third-party payroll system runs retroactive accounting. You only want the SAP System to transfer the differences between the payroll period used in retroactive accounting and the payroll period from the original payroll run to the third-party system for retroactive accounting periods.

To do this, choose retroactive accounting option R2.

The Total Gross Amount wage type has the following results data for the data export:

Payroll period

Total Gross Amount wage type from the results table (RT)

01 in 01

 3 000.00

02 in 02

 3 000.00

01 in 03

   500.00

02 in 03

   500.00

03 in 03

 3 500.00

03 in 04

-3 500.00

04 in 04

Legend

  1. In the 01 in 03 and 02 in 03 payroll periods, the system only exports differences from the retroactive accounting period and the original period.

    2. 3 500.00 - 3 000.00 = 500.00

  2. In the 03 in 04 payroll period, the total wage type amount is - 3,500.00, since the value of the wage type was retroactively set to ZERO in payroll period 03.

    3. 0 - 3 500.00 = - 3 500.00

  3. The wage type no longer exists in the 04 in 04 period, since it was set to ZERO as of payroll period 03, before the payroll run for payroll period 04.
