Defining Deduction Elements

A deduction is a payroll element that subtracts from a person's pay. If you are using Absence Management with Payroll Interface, you can create deduction elements in addition to earning elements to compensate payees for time off. Do not create deduction elements if you are using Payroll for North America with Absence Management. Absence Management does not transmit deduction date to Payroll for North America.

To create a deduction element, define the deduction name and calculation rule.

Use the Deduction Name page (GP_PIN) to name the element and define its basic parameters.

You name every element and define its basic parameters on an Element Name page. All element components within Absence Management share the same first Element Name page (GP_PIN).

Use the Calculation page (GP_ERN_DED_CALC) to define calculation rules for a deduction element.
