How does the rate control code (DEFR) work for dbas with table codes?
I have two dbas that have table codes. They both have the same pay types as the basis of calculation. These dbas both have the same start date in F06106 yet one will prorate and one will not prorate. I don't understand what it is doing.
The explanation in the help (shown below) for dbas that do not have a flat rate is confusing. I understand how the flat rate dbas work.

Prorate the DBA calculation using all rates.
Note: Defining that the DBA should prorate (value of '3') has two different results based on the type of DBA. Flat calculations (dollars or accrued hours) will use the number of days in the pay period that the instruction was valid, divided by the total number of days in the pay period, to get a proration factor. The proration factor is then multiplied times the flat amount to get the final DBA calculation. This calculation is performed for each valid DBA instruction during a pay cycle period.
