Severity Level for Balance Exceptions
Severity Level controls the order in which the exceptions are displayed in the balance exception report.
While defining a balance exception, enter a severity level to specify the priority of the exception. An exception with a lower severity level has a higher priority than one with a higher severity level value.
When you run the Balance Exception Report, you can act on the exception based on its severity level. Let's say, you have these two exceptions:
-
Net Pay less than 100
-
The difference in Base Salary from previous period to current period is 1000
Ideally, you should enter a lower value for the first exception, so that when you run the Balance Exception Report, the payroll user can first look into reconciling the lower Net Pay exception.
