Use
If you perform an assessment of qualifying earnings in a pay period that has a relevant pay reference period that is the current payroll period that is being processed then the assessment code will perform a payroll simulation. (N.B. Due to Qualifying Earnings being calculated on a "WHEN PAID" basis it is not possible to simulate during an earlier payroll period as all the qualifying earnings would be brought forward into the current period - i.e. overstated).
Requirements
Standard settings
Activities
PLEASE NOTE THAT: If you run the PAE reports (Staging or Pre-Payroll) that derive an employee's qualifying earnings, then the report will perform a payroll simulation for every single employee that it processes for the current period. (e.g. this will significantly increase run times for the staging program, but will produce accurate results - as long as you have already populated /117 historically).
For this final scenario, you will need to customise Feature PM004 to have a relevant Payroll Variant to allow the solution to simulate payroll. The return value has to be in the format "1/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX", where "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" is the name of the payroll variant.
