Follow this process to set up the Retro-Notifications report, and the correct RetroPay process for your payroll.

1. Set Up the RetroPay Component

   The RetroPay component determines the default style of RetroPay processing for your localization. For example, you can specify that your default style is Tax When Paid, rather than Tax When Earned.

   You can use either of the following methods to set up your RetroPay component:

   Method	How To	Advantages
   Set Up the Organization DFF	From the Additional Organizational Information window: Select Retro Component Usages. Select the Tax Area. Enter a Retro Style, for example, Tax When Paid. Enter an Effective Start Date. Enter an Effective Date. Choose OK to confirm your choices.	Processing the retrospective payments for all employees in the same style is a faster alternative than setting up details at the element level for each assignment. This method does not prevent you from making changes for individual assignments when you view RetroPay status.
   Set Up Retro Components and Spans at Element Level	From the Element window: Query the element. Choose the Recalculation tab. South African users: Select the predefined ZA Statutory Updates event group from the list of values in the Recalculation Events field. Alternatively, you can create and attach an event group of your choice. Choose the Retro Components button. Attention: Do not enable the Retro Component of the elements that are themselves being used to process retropay for another element. Select a Recalculation Reason. Select a Reprocess Type. Select an Element Span to indicate the start date and end date on which you want to report.	You can modify entries at element level to make exceptions for particular assignments.

   Note: Your localization may advocate one of these as the preferred method.

2. Set Up the Retro-Notifications Report

   Determine whether a retrospective change in Oracle Payroll will appear in the Retro-Notifications report. Set up an event group to contain all the retrospective change events that you want to record.

3. Set Up Your RetroPay Process
