The CSU Backout YTD Balances process is part of the larger CSU Labor Cost Distribution (LCD) framework. It enables campuses to reverse previously committed updates to Year-to-Date (YTD) payroll balance data. Use this process when errors are discovered after the Finalize Paycheck Data process but before or after downstream activities such as paycheck distribution or GL interfacing. The Finalize step not only marks paycheck creation as complete but also updates cumulative amounts in internal tables (e.g., PS_CSU_PAY_ERN_DIST, PS_CSU_PAY_DED_DIST, PS_CSU_PAY_TAX_DIST, and potentially HR_ACCTG_LINE). The Backout process reverses these changes and resets the corresponding LCD flag, allowing the paycheck data to be re-finalized.
