Answer 1

Which level are you at
Pre 12.0.6 -
Person level balances do not aggregate assignments across periods_of_service.
So PERYTD will only give you summed up data for multiple assignments in the same periods of service.
Post 12.0.6 -
Person Level balances do aggregate assignments across periods_of_Service.
So PERYTD will sum all assignments for the person, across periods_of_service(term, re-hires cases).

You can check the actual Sql query. use thie -
select user_entity_id,definition_text from ff_database_items -- user_entity_id
where user_name = 'BASIC_SALARY_PER_YTD'; -- change this to your DBI
select route_id from ff_user_entities -- route_id
where user_entity_id = 1228; -- user_entity_id from the previous query
select text from ff_routes -- text
where route_id = 286; -- route_id from previous queryNow you can construct a sql statement -
Select /* definition_text */ -- from the 1st query
from
/* text */ -- from the 3rd queryHope that helps.
Plese close the thread if your queries are answered.
