The Four Steps to Defining Deductions

To define how you want the system to process a deduction, follow these four general steps:

1. Use the Deduction Table component (DEDUCTION_TABLE) to select a plan type, enter a deduction code, and specify the deduction processing rules, including the priority of the deduction, how the deduction affects taxes, related general ledger account codes, and other special payroll process indicators, such as how arrears should be handled.

2. Use the General Deduction Table component (GENL_DEDUCTION_TBL) to define the rules for the actual calculation of general deductions such as parking or union dues.

3. Use the Company General Deductions component (GDED_COM_TBL) to build a general deduction plan using the general deductions you have set up.

4. Use the Benefit Program Table component (BEN_PROG_DEFN) to define the rules for the actual calculation of benefit deductions such as health plans and dental plans.
