Understanding the Pay Types and DBA Codes Reports

Because the Pay Types and PDBA reports share the same business view, they are combined into a single report, making maintenance easier. The two reports are now sections within the report. On PDBA Reports Choice Interface, when you choose either Pay Types or DBA Codes, the system displays additional options for the report. After you choose from the options and click Submit, the system runs the PDBA Reports program (R059116PD) and automatically includes the specified variables.

You can run the Pay Types report to view all of the setup information that was entered for each pay type. You can view the information by pay type code. To ensure that you have entered all the necessary pay types and associated information, you typically run this report after you define pay types and DBAs.

Because the payroll system calculates DBAs in order from the lowest to highest number DBA code, and backs out DBAs in the event of insufficient earnings from the highest to lowest number DBA code, this report can help you verify that you have assigned DBA codes that are appropriate to the priority of the deduction, benefit, or accrual.
