Reference: Change No Retro Processing Prior to Dates

After you run retro for a pay group, Workday sets the No Retro Processing Prior To (NRPPT) date of the workers in the pay group. When workers have no in-progress retro results, you can change that date using these tasks and web service. The new date must be after any unsupported events that workers have.
