!!__RETROACTIVE BENEFIT EARNINGS AMOUNTS__
The UBRETRO facility was designed to calculate retro amounts on benefit deductions when an employee receives a pay increase. When an employee receives a retroactive pay increase, their benefit deductions may need to be recalculated to include the retro earnings.

!__UPRETRO/UBRETRO key processing differences__
!!Custom Functions
New Custom Functions - P2K_CF_WAGE_RATE and P2K_CF_PREMIUM. These new custom functions have been created to be used with UserCalcs which allow us to determine an employee's wage rate and premium rate based on dates defined in the UserCalc. These new functions are defined in the lexicon 'X_UC_FUNCTIONS'. If the functions are not listed in X_UC_FUNCTIONS lexicon, they can be manually added to the lexicon in {IMLN}
At line 11 changed one line
[UPRETRO] and UBRETRO work differently with regards to pay header requirements.
The function 'P2K_CF_WAGE_RATE' will pass the wage rate from the employee's assignment as of the date found in the Global Variable 'CF WAGE DATE';
At line 13 removed 21 lines
In the case of [UPRETRO] the program will include all the old pays that are to have retro calculated. Prior to launching UPRETRO all the pay’s that will be processed will be displayed using the “List” button on [UPRETRO].
[UPRETRO] will create a new pay if there is no applicable pay header or will update an existing pay header if no applicable pay header can be found.
UBRETRO behaves differently in that it does not create a pay header. Instead prior to processing, UBRETRO requires the creation of a single "To Be Audited" pay for the specific pay period in which the retro amounts are to appear.
Therefore the “[Trigger BE Retro|TRIGGER_BE_RETRO]" toggle found on [IEAS] must be enabled on a EASD record that has effective and expiry dates that fall within the specified pay period start and end dates on the pay header selected.
If there are no "To Be Audited" pays that fall in period specified on the EASD records, than UBRETRO will not process.
!!New Custom Functions

The function UBRETRO was developed to process retro calculation amounts on benefit components. Benefit amounts requiring a retro calculation must have been generated during the benefit process in UPCALC in order for UBRETRO to process and re-calculate the retro benefit amounts. Pay components requiring a retro calculation [must|] have a "Retro PC' defined. These retro pay components may need to be added to elements (i.e. Total Deductions, Pre Tax Elements, etc..)

* A pay header at a 'To Be Audited' stage must be created for the employee before you can run the UBRETRO process\\
*A report parameter __Post Negative Retro__ controls if negative amounts should be posted to IPPH. If set to __NO__ the negative amounts are not recorded; however, exception messages will still be logged.
*Reversals and pays that have been reversed are ignored
*Unit and Group information is obtained from the assignment, not the from the __old__ pay header being evaluated.

;[Retro_Start_Period]
This represents the starting retro pay period for which the calculations will be processed
;[Retro_End_Period]
This represents the ending retro pay period for which the calculations will be processed
;[Triggered_Employees]
This restricts the list of employees to those who have the 'Trigger BE Retro' toggle 'On' at the assignment. Once UBRETRO has been run in the Non Trial mode, the toggles will be turned 'Off'
;[Benefit_Plans]

__NOTE: It is always recommended to run the program in TRIAL first and verify the results before running it in update mode.__
;[Exception_Level]
The program can be run with various levels of exceptions and depends on the level of detail required; the higher the exception level, the greater the amount of detail.
;[User_Comment]
