You would want to use Save without Validation if there were errors on the page, but you did not want to undo *everything* you've done in the transaction. One use case: Let's say you get an error that an FAU you are trying to redistribute to is invalid. If the issue is that the FAU is valid, but just hasn't been activated in BFS, you could save with the currently invalid FAU in your transaction, get the FAU activated in BFS, and then come back to complete the transaction.
If the checkbox for a row is grayed out in the search results on the Process Salary Cost Transfer page, one of three things will be true:
The row is associated with a check from October 2021 or earlier (This would require a Direct Retro)
The row has previously been redistributed by a Direct Retro (This would require a Direct Retro)
The row is included in an active transaction. If this is the case, go to the ‘Other Details’ tab in the search results to find a link to that transaction...

Multiple Components of Pay means that an employee's salary is comprised of different types of rows. In some cases this means multiple earn codes. In the context of a Salary Cost Transfer, this is talking about the under-the-cap (N-OTC) and over-the-cap (Y-OTC) rows.
If the earnings have not been split (Work Study Indicator is 'X' or blank), you can use the 'Leave as Is' option to redistribute to the correct FAU. Important Note: If there is a split in the earnings, you cannot use 'Leave as Is', and must instead use 'Re-Apply WS'.
If the earnings have been split, use 'Re-Apply WS'. Redistribute both the D and the W amounts to the new/correct chartstring. When processed by UCPath, the system will use that new/corrected chartstring when generating the new D and W rows.
UCPath has confirmed that the Direct Retro tool will be retired in June 2025. Once retired, transactors will still be able to view processed transactions via the Review Retro Distribution page, but will no longer be able to redistribute earnings that require a Direct Retro.
As a reminder, paychecks require use of the Direct Retro tool if:
The earnings are from October 2021 or earlier, orThe earnings have previously been redistributed via a Direct Retro
