Hi,

If you process correction of salary for the past month(for period) in the current month(in period), that is called <b>Retro</b>.

Retro calculation is done automatically by SAP when you make changes in master data in back date retro run will take place.

The retroactive accounting date or limit determines the exact date until which master data and time data can be changed in the payroll past. The retroactive accounting limit is based on the following values:

1.Per payroll area (payroll control record): Earliest possible retroactive accounting period

2.Employee hiring date

3.Per Ijndividual employee the feild Earliest personal retroactive accounting date Payroll Status infotype0003.

If the date set for each payroll area differs from the date specified for the employee, the later date is used.

The most important thing to remeber is with regard to retroactive accounting limit for an employee is the hire date of the employee., one can neither run retro from a date prior to the Hiring date nor he can make any changes to master data prior to hiring date

Retro is triggered in a payroll if u hav done master data change of an employee. This means 1) Any change in an infotype triggers retro. 2) Retro is also field dependent in an infotype.

This is configured using view V_T582A under frame "Retro Accounting Trigger".

Also note,

1) Control record - PA03 contains earliest retro date, meaning retro cannot be run previous to that date for all employees in that payroll area.

2) Infotype 0003 contains a field "earliest master data change" meaning during next payroll run retro will run from that particular period onwards for that employee.

3) Infotype 0003 contains a field "Earl.pers. RA date" meaning retro cannot run beyond that date for that employee. (this field values are stored in table PA0003)

Hi

Retro Billing is a special type of Billing which is used in Scheduling Agreements.

We may change the price of a material after it has already been billed and settled. In this case, we create a retro-billing list to reevaluate billing documents with the new price. we create an additional billing document to settle the difference. The retro-billing list function is only available for the standard self-billing procedure.

Because of the long validity periods of scheduling agreements, the system carries out a second pricing run during billing. This ensures that any changes to pricing agreements are taken into account.

New pricing agreements that made with the customers may affect billing documents that have already been processed and settled. If a new pricing agreement is effective before the pricing date of the billing documents, we can perform retroactive billing to call up a list of these documents and reevaluate them with the new price. we can then create additional billing documents to settle any differences.

With the retroactive billing type we can perform

1. Call up a list of documents affected by price changes

2. Trigger the system to create the necessary retroactive billing documents directly from the list

3. Create credit or debit memos directly

4. Review any errors in a log

5. Simulate the retroactive billing process for any document
