Displacement by action period

Another important feature of a calculation register is the ability to displace certain records with other records by action period.

In doing so, each calculation register record generates an actual action period which, in general, represents the sum total of several periods contained within a single action period (fig. 17.8).

After adding a salary accrual record, the structure of calculation register table records looks as shown in tables 17.1 and 17.2.
