Understanding PDBA Setup for Canada

You set up pay types to categorize various employee earnings so that direct labor costs can be directed to different accounts in the general ledger. You set up deductions, benefits, and accruals (DBAs) to automate the process of subtracting monies, calculating benefits, and tracking accruals when you run a payroll cycle. You must set up DBAs before you can assign them to employees.

If you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Benefits module, you must also set up DBAs before you can enroll employees in benefit plans. You must set up at least one DBA for each benefit plan.
