Commitments / Encumbrances

After building this twice now, both while specs were being written (sigh) I suggest the following approach.

Multiple App Engines.

Main: Contains main outer loop(s)
Grouping Code: Contains calls to Element AEs
Element: Contains Section for each Element calculation.
Functions: Sections for populating component arrays and the like
Population: AE that deals only with splitting, account code mapping and population of temp tables.

... something lik ethat. Would make things more legible, pluggable.

The need for an environment that has accurate pay run data to compare against cannot be stressed enough, preferably dev. The lag between code changes and migrations and runs in downstream envs that have comparable data can be days, very slow and confusing.
