What is the use of correction status on the control record?

hi experts,

What is the use of correction status on the control record? I believe that it to correct any errors if you have any a payroll run. Can’t it be done by exiting the payroll? Correct me if I am wrong - it is for the reason, you don;t want to move to the next Payroll period.

Thanks,

Hi Jessica,

The Payroll Control Record screen is divided into 4 sections:

• Payroll Area: This section indicates the payroll area for which the payroll control record is applicable for.  For each payroll area, only ONE Payroll Control Record can exist at a time.
• Payroll Status: This section indicates, with a green tick, at what stage a payroll run is currently in.  It also defines the current payroll period with exact dates and indicates how many times a payroll has been run.
• Earliest Retro Acctg Period: This section indicates the greatest earliest payroll period for retroactive accounting.
• Last Change to Personnel Control Record: This section indicates who triggered a change to the Payroll Control Record, when, and what change occurred.

Thanks

Siva
