Column with CFWD/RETRO flags:

This occurs if the user selected LDS as correct in the variance process and there is an effect on a prior period. The CFWD commitment applies to the current fiscal period only because it is adjusting for an anticipated future correction to be made by Payroll.
  • A distribution line displays RETRO to indicate a retroactive adjustment. It indicates that a distribution to a prior fiscal period was changed, and therefore the displayed commitment reflects the amount of the adjustment.
