Definition

This indicator controls whether the report summarizes certain individual lines into one line or lists them separately.

Use

This indicator is not set in the default setting.

For the same wage type and module, individual lines of the pension scheme contribution are always summarized in one line (aggregation/compression).
This has the consequence that for retroactive accounting in live evaluation periods, contributions to the German Pension Reform that have changed in neither amount nor taxation type are not listed, since the corresponding line has the value of zero: the reversed contribution and the current contribution are summarized in one line and cancel each other out.

If you want to display all individual lines for test purposes, set this indicator.

Example

Aggregation/compression:

You have entered for one of your employees a pension scheme contribution in infotype German Pension Reform (0699). Because the tax-exempt contingent is exceeded, the contribution of the infotype record is split into a tax-exempt portion and a portion taxable at a flat rate.
In the default setting, in which the indicator is not set, both portions are listed in the same line (but in different columns), since they relate to the same wage type and module.

If you have not set this indicator, both portions appear in two separate lines.

Retroactive accounting:

In period 03, you have entered for one of your employees a pension scheme contribution in infotype German Pension Reform (0699). In a later period, you enter additionally for this employee a non-recurring payment, e.g. in the infotype Additional payments (0015), that is retroactive for period 03. This triggers retroactive accounting for period 03 that has no relevance for the German Pension Reform, however.

For the evaluation of the retroactive accounting for period 03, the report finds the same pension scheme contribution in payroll result A (current) as in payroll result P (previous). The payroll result P is here the (original) payroll result before the retroactive accounting due to the non-recurring payment.

The evaluation of the pension scheme contribution therefore only differs in the in-period.

In the default setting, in which the indicator is not set, this contribution is not listed for the evaluation of the retroactive accounting.

If you have set the indicator, the contribution of the previous payroll result P appears as a negative value (reversal) and the contribution of the payroll result A is listed on a separate line as a positive value.

Since the amounts cancel each other out, the indicator does not have an effect on the totals rows of the evaluation.
