Use

This parameter controls the import of accounting results and their assignments to the proper periods.

If only the original result exists from accounting, it is always assigned to the corresponding payroll period. If, however, two or more results exist within a single payroll period (due to retroactive accounting for corrections), you must make a distinction between the following:

- the IN Period (the period IN which the original was created)

- the FOR Period (the period FOR which the correction was made)

Examples

While running June's payroll, a correction for May must be processed. This triggers a retroactive accounting, which means that during the payroll calculation for June, the results for May are recalculated and saved as corrections for this employee.

Afterwards the following results are available:

(Assuming that an accounting period is a calender month)

-existing- -------newly created--------

Results : Original May Correction May Original June

IN Period : 05 06 06

FOR Period: 05 05 06

This shows that a difference between the IN period and the FOR period occurs only in the case of retroactive accounting.

Dependencies

Possible values and their effects:

F :

The results appear in the period for which they were calculated. The most current results are always read. After processing a list with this control, no more retroactive accounting in the evaluated period is permitted. (Set the earliest possible retroactive accounting period in payroll accounting area control record.) Otherwise, the list must be repeated as these corrections will never be evaluated.

FR :

The results are assigned to the FOR period as well. As opposed to the previous case, the retroactive accounting not specific to a certain period is acknowledged and taken into account in the following manner:

a) Retroactive accounting calculated IN periods of the evaluation period and FOR periods before the evaluation period are displayed under the FOR periods.

b) Retroactive accounting FOR the evaluation period calculated IN periods after the evaluation period are not accounted for. They appear first in the following evaluation period under a).

FO :

Reads the results just as the version 'FR'. Only in the above case a) the retroactive accounting FOR periods are added before the evaluation period of the first evaluation period (usually to that of January).

I :

Only results calculated in the IN periods of the evaluation period are read with all of the retroactive accounting. They are assigned to periods IN which they were calculated which means to the time of the payment of wages.

When viewing these lists, keep in mind that a discrepancy can arise between the period of employement and the payment of wages. Delayed payment serves as an example. A "payment-free" employment period is followed by a month with a very large amount.
