• Key Concepts: 
  Retroactive is a feature in SAP Employee Central that allows for the adjustment of employee data after the fact. This means that changes can be made to employee data even after the original transaction has been completed. This feature is useful for correcting errors or making changes to employee data that were not known at the time of the original transaction. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Retroactive can be used in SAP Employee Central by navigating to the “Retroactive” tab in the main menu. From there, you can select the employee whose data you want to adjust and enter the new information. Once you have entered the new information, you can save it and it will be applied retroactively. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using retroactive, it is important to remember that any changes made will be applied to all future transactions as well as past ones. Therefore, it is important to double-check all information before saving it. Additionally, it is important to note that retroactive cannot be used to change payroll information such as salary or benefits.
