Definition

This switch enables you to run payroll for a person who is only flagged for refinancing.

Use

NOTE: Use this switch only in 'emergencies', for example, if the time between refinancing and payroll is not enough to correct errors in the financing. Do not choose the switch as the standard setting. The financing process is different when the switch is activated (see below).

Dependencies

The standard financing process means that for people who take part in the automatic commitment creation and are flagged for refinancing, a productive payroll can only take place once an effective commitment creation has taken place successfully. The system thereby ensures that the actual postings generated with the transfer of payroll results to FI can also reduce the correct funds commitment documents.

When the switch is activated, it affects the financing process as follows:

  • Actual postings no longer reduce the correct funds commitment documents in certain circumstances. This can cause duplicate consumable budget (see example)
  • To correct this, the system tries to find the changes that could have caused the duplicate consumable budget by running commitment creation again. The Retroactive Accounting Date for the person is set accordingly for this. This means the system causes payroll to run for the person again and thereby ensures that the correct funds commitments are reduced with the next payroll result posting.

Example

The following simplified example should illustrate the existing changes with the activated indicator:

  1. Person P1 is assigned to an account in cost center C1. Funds commitment documents with amount 1000 have been generated for this person.
  2. The person is reassigned to cost center C2. This causes a retroactive cost center change to cost center C2. The person is now flagged for refinancing.
  3. An error occurs when performing the commitment creation (for example, because the budget available in the new cost center is insufficient) and as such payroll cannot run productively for the person.
  4. Activating the switch means payroll has to take place.
  5. The payroll result for the person is then transferred.
  6. The situation in FI for cost centers C1 and C2 is now the following:
    • C1: Funds commitment document with the amount 1000
    • C2: Actual postings with the amount 1000
      • ==> In total therefore a duplicate consumable budget of 2000
  7. As the person is still flagged for refinancing, they will be included in the next commitment run. Prerequisite is that the existing problem is corrected and the program now adjusts the funds commitment documents.
    • C1: Funds commitment reduced to 0
    • C2: A new funds commitment document with 1000. The actual posting generated with 1000 still exists (without reference to funds commitment)
      • ==> In total the duplicate consumable budget still exists
  8. The commitment processor recognizes the retroactive cost center change and sets the retroactive accounting date accordingly for the financing. If this is not possible because the status of the person's payroll area does not allow this change, then another error occurs.
  9. The duplicate consumable budget remains for as long as payroll is not run for the person (and the payroll result is transferred). Only when the actual posting to C2 with reference to a funds commitment is posted with the next productive payroll and transfer of the result to FI:
    • C1: Funds commitment reduced to 0
    • C2: Funds commitment document with 1000. The actual posting of 1000 has now taken place with reference to the funds commitment document and the duplicate consumable budget therefore no longer exists .
