!__UPRETRO/UBRETRO key processing differences__
[UPRETRO] and UBRETRO work differently with regards to pay header requirements.
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.

*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.

When the UBRETRO process is run in 'Update' mode, a User Defined Field on the IPPH called 'Posted UBRETRO' is updated with a value of 'Y'.

!!Set Up Requirements
;[Pay_Components]
The UBRETRO program will only process for pay components attached to benefit plans that have a 'Retro' PC attached to the 'Retro Pay' tab on [IPPC]. It is important to update the appropriate element if new 'retro' pay components are created.
;__High Line Recommendations:__\\
* Create unique pay components to store the retro amount
* Create unique pay components for adjustments
!Retro Benefit Calculations Based on Earnings\\
When an employee receives a retroactive pay increase, their benefit deductions may need to be re-calculated to include the retro earnings.
The standard retroactive pay program (UPRETRO) will calculate the difference between the old and new wage rates and will insert a pay line into the current period's pay header for each pay line that was evaluated. In order to ensure that retro wages are used in the benefit calculation and are picked up in the correct period a UserCalc (as shown below) is required to capture the retro earnings.
The UserCalc example listed below us the Part Time Pension calculation and is associated to B0320 on the PT_PENS plan

;[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]
This represents the benefit plans to be processed. Multiple plans may be selected
;[Plan_Coverages]
This represents the coverages to be processed; the list of coverages will be restricted based on the benefit plans selected above
;[Trial]
If the value of this field is 'Yes', then the process will be run in trial mode and the data will not be saved to the database. If Trial is set to 'No', then the process will be run in update mode and the changes will be saved to the database.
