Definition

Posting period (PPYYYY where PP=month, YYYY=year) which defines the posting date.

• Report RPRIRB00 can be started from report RPRFIN00:
  The period PP YYYY is defined by RPRFIN00.
  User entries are ignored.
• RPRIRB00 can also be run on its own:
  If you enter a posting period, this is used in the report. If not the payroll period defined in the control record for the payroll area and control record type '01' (PA03) is used.

The posting date is determined from the parameters:
'posting period', 'posting date', 'T549Q begin date':
'posting period' = 'PPYYYY'
'posting date' = 'DDMMYYYY' -> posting date is DDMMYYYY
'posting date' = ' ' -> is read from T549Q
'T549Q begin date'= 'X' -> posting date is the first day
of PPYYYY according to T549Q
'T549Q end date' = ' ' -> posting date is the last day
of PPYYYY according to T549Q
