Cross-referencing cycle matching options

Summary:

There is a compensation plan which is created to generate a single compensation change statement that includes compensation awarded from multiple plans. The extraction date for shell plan is later than the extraction dates of primary plans which are getting referred (both primary plans are having different HR extraction dates but are earlier than extraction dates of shell plan).
