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.
The value you enter has no impact on the balance exception calculation.
