Understanding the Basis of Calculation Report.

The DBA Basis of Calculation report (R05903P) displays a list of basis of calculations tables. Each deduction, benefit, and accrual has a defined basis of calculation. The system uses the basis of calculation to define the base value when calculating a DBA. A DBA can be based on pay types, other DBAs, or a combination of both pay types and DBAs. For example, if you want an employee stock purchase plan deduction to be based on all of an employee's gross wages, the basis of calculation would be pay types 001 through 999. If you want a 401k employer match benefit to be based on the employee's 401k contribution amount, the basis of calculation would be the DBA code associated with the employee 401k deduction.

To review the basis of calculation that was defined for each DBA, you should use the DBA Basis of Calculation report after you set up your DBAs.
