Use this screen to print detailed information about how actual money is disbursed based on a compensation plan's budgeted amount. The program compares the selected fiscal year's YTD employee earnings against the compensation plan's budget for the same fiscal year. The compensation plan budgets are established by fiscal year and revision number on the Manage Compensation Budget by Organization screen. Only employees that are assigned to the selected compensation plan and/or organization on the Manage Employee Information Screen screen are included in the YTD earnings comparison.
You can print this report any time after establishing compensation plan budgets on the Manage Compensation Budget by Organization screen and posting employee payrolls for the selected fiscal year to the General Ledger.

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Enter, or click 
to select, a parameter
ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter
ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such
as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.
