Concept: Cancel a Completed Retro Pay Calculation

You can use the

Cancel Retro Complete

task to cancel a completed retro pay calculation for pay groups or pay run groups when:

No on-cycle payroll processes are running for any pay groups.
The pay groups or pay run groups have a
Completed
or
Completed with Exceptions
status.
No other pay groups have retro results with an
In Progress
status.
You haven't included the differences in completed payroll.

Workday recommends that you use this feature sparingly to avoid unexpected results when you already closed the ledger period. Example: You can use this feature for errors that affect a large population within a pay group whose retro results are complete.

When you need to cancel retro results you completed at different times, you can do so in reverse completion order. The

Retro Calculation Processing Report

enables you to find results by status and select the ones to cancel. Example: You complete retro results, then run and complete other results for the same period. You find inaccuracies in the first set of results and want to cancel them. Cancel the second set of results before canceling the first one.

When you cancel completed retro results, Workday changes the status of canceled completed retro pay results to

In Progress

.
