The CSU Paytape Period table (PS_CSU_PAYTAPE_PER) defines the fiscal year and accounting period that payroll transactions belong to. It ties the SCO payroll tape (pay file from the State Controller’s Office) to the correct Pay Run IDs and CSU accounting periods so that payroll expenditures can be distributed and reported accurately. The "balance clear" step ensures that balances from the SCO paytape are reconciled and reset for each processing cycle, so new payroll loads don’t conflict with prior period data.
