3741381 - HCM Payroll Results Archiving — FOR-Period vs. IN-Period Design and Recommendations

When archiving HCM payroll results using archive object PA_CALC via transaction PU22, the standard system archives based on the FOR-period (the payroll period for which results were calculated). There is no option to archive based on the IN-period (the period in which payroll was actually processed).

You may want to archive payroll results by IN-period to retain more recent retroactive recalculation results in the database, even if their FOR-period falls within the archiving range.

Additionally, the following comment in class CL_HRPAY99_PAY_DIR_CU_CA may appear to suggest an enhancement option exists in SAP S/4HANA:

*     SEQNR check wrong in case of recalculations!
*     IPEND does not match in case of recalculations into new
*     CA entries. Keep in mind that for-periods are used to
*     decide which records are archived and the in-period does
*     not matter (classic PU22 behaviour!).
*     UT exists in S/4 code!

This may be interpreted as an indication that a BAdI, enhancement spot, or user exit exists to modify PU22 behavior to support IN-period archiving.
