Defining Arrears

The following rules apply to deduction elements that have user fields and are defined to generate arrears:

• The user fields associated with the deduction automatically default to the auto-generated arrears accumulators as accumulator keys.

  This enables the system to track arrears separately by user field set.

• An arrears payback for a deduction applies only to the instance with matching user field values.

• If a deduction with arrears is sliced but does not resolve—and only the arrears payback is processed—the payback applies to the entire segment rather than to one slice or another in the calendar period.
