than the old IAHHH's 1Internet applicationcomponents2 deliverd vide the I)' where the display format is #ind of fixed.In 'AP C@
the new appriasal system used .'P.$ell this is only basic information. %ou may wish to use the (.' 1$A'version2 to try and
developed a simple application using .'P.
.'P is a set of pages that represent a user interface 1layout and page flow definition2. )he layout part of a page normally contains
A.AP or Sava'cript code which is inserted into the C)(& structure. )hey can contain server5side scripting code in either
Sava'cript or A.AP. .'P applications use all the conventional A.AP technologies, such as ,pen '7& and internal tables,

employeeHHH's initial entrydate.
-arliest @etroactive AccHHH'g Period0 )he period furthest bac# in the past for which it is still possible toperform a retroactive
accounting run. )his means that retroactive accounting ta#es place for a period for which payroll has already been performed.
Q1 How to write a variable brea8s1 #or e@ample in a manu!acturing unit *3 emploees are wor8ing' all the *3 emploees

brea8 aroun" 11<&3 to 12<33'
A. Bariable or flexi brea# means if you are fixing the brea# as+*.**5+D.** and saying that only E* min brea# then they can ta#e a
brea# of E* min at any time in between +*0**5+D0**.
In config, under time managemnt and then wor# schedules, go to brea# schedules and create two brea# schedules 1+2 ++5++E* and
the other for ++E*5+D**. I thin# each will have its own 4$'. In this case for brea# schedule +, the 4$' will be L*** and for
brea# two it will be L**+. reate wor# schedules for each and assign to the relevant group of employees. )his is the solution I
could thin# of.

A. It is very much possible to implement C@1PA2 without !I,. .ut it sounds very odd that the company wishes to implement
only C@ A that too only PA. $hat about other modules N If you want other modules li#e (( / '4 you will definitely re"uire
!I,. 8tilitiwise its really absurd if some company only want to use C@1PA2.
It is not madtadtory to have !I/, or other module while implementing C@ but it is re"uired to maintain the min. config while
