  Review Changes: Check the changes made to the employee's record. Identify what was changed and why it was necessary to change the assessment date retrospectively.
  Correct the Assessment Date: If the change was made in error, revert the assessment date back to its original value for the affected month.
  Reprocess Payroll: If the change is valid and necessary, you may need to reprocess payroll for the affected month. This may involve:
  
  Running a retroactive payroll calculation.
  Ensuring that all relevant data is updated and consistent.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on handling retrospective changes to ensure compliance with internal processes.
