Primary Classification: Earnings
Costing at Element Link level:

Element#2: Test Retro Element
Primary Classification: Earnings
Costing at Element Link level:

Costing = 99.15002.50009.B104.11
Balancing = 99.15002.18021.M875.17

Run Results:

Test Retro Element = -500

Costing:
=======
DR 99.15002.50009.B104.11 400
CR 39.15001.18021.M870.11 400 --> Balancing is picked up from parent element instead of retro element
