Diagnosis

You have specified a retroactive accounting limit in the previous or current year, or the system has calculated such a retroactive accounting limit from the archiving date you have chosen.

If changes in tax or in social insurance regulations occur, it may be necessary to run retroactive accounting in the previous calendar year. To prevent this from being blocked by archiving, the system checks your entries to ensure that retroactive accounting is always possible back to January 01 of the previous year.

Furthermore, it is always necessary to have a certain minimum interval between the retroactive accounting limit and the archiving date. The factors influence this interval:

  • There must always be one payroll period between the retroactive accounting limit and the archiving date.
  • The retroactive accounting limit and archiving date must be in different calendar years.
  • When calculating averages, the interval between the retroactive accounting limit and the archiving date must be at least the number of periods required for the calculation of averages.

Example

If you archive in November 2000, it must be possible to perform retroactive accounting back to January 01, 1999. You can therefore specify January 01, 1999 as the latest retroactive accounting limit for archiving.

When you enter the archiving date, the system checks whether it can use this date as a basis for calculating January 01, 1999 as a retroactive accounting limit. Therefore, if you do not perform any calculation of averages, you can choose November 30th, 1998 as the latest archiving date, thus ensuring the minimum interval of one payroll period for this archiving date. Furthermore, the archiving date is in the year preceding the retroactive accounting limit, thus fulfilling the requirements for an interval between the retroactive accounting limit and the archiving date.

If, for example, you require 12 periods for the calculation of averages, you can choose November 30, 1997 as the latest archiving date. The requirements for this date are also fulfilled, whereby the 12 periods for the calculation of averages increase the interval accordingly.
