New Data Dictionary Cumulation Tables 

Use

From Release 4.6C forward, out-of-sequence check processing is supported by the standard system. The structural changes described in this release note were made to enable this new functionality. We recommend that you first read the release note on out-of-sequence check processing before reviewing the present release note.

In order to support out-of-sequence check processing, several new tables related to cumulations have been added to the standard system. These new tables are described below.

• T56C2 - Permitted Cumulation Types
  
  This table determines the cumulation types (e.g. monthly, quarterly) that are permitted for any given country.
  
  For Canada and the U.S., the standard cumulation types are M (monthly), Q (quarterly), U (unlimited) and Y (annually).
  
  If your enterprise has created customer-specific cumulation types that differ from those listed above, then you must assign these to the appropriate cumulation intervals. To this end, execute the following Payroll IMG step:

• T56C5 - Time-Based Window for Cumulation Table Entries
  
  This table determines the window of time, measured in number of years, that entries are stored in cumulation tables CRT and TCRT for any given country and consequently, how far in the past out-of-sequence checks may be issued.
  
  For Canada and the U.S., the standard value within this table is 1 , whereby out-of-sequence checks may be issued with any pay date that falls within the previous six months.

• T56C1 - Parameters for Cumulation Types
  
  This table defines the precise cumulation intervals by means of the time unit, beginning day and beginning month within the year.
  
  You may define your own cumulation modifiers in the customer name range, which consists of parameters 80-99.

• T56C3 - Date for the Cumulation Intervals
  
  This table determines the actual calendar dates that fall within the cumulation intervals.
  
  You may define your own cumulation modifiers in the customer name range, which consists of parameters 80-99.
  
  The entries in this table are generated from the data contained in tables T56C1 and T56C2 (described above).

• T56C4 - Period Date Relevant for Cumulations
  
  This table determines the date of the pay period that is relevant for cumulation. Three options are supported - the period start date, the period pay date, and the period end date.
  
  For Canada and the U.S., the end date for cumulation is defined as the period pay date.
