What This Process Does

  • The Deduction Register Summary automatically sorts by Deduction Type and lists Deduction Gross, Deduction Amount and Sheltered Amount for each Deduction Description, along with an employee count. Recommend always checking the total number of employees being paid against the total employees for each required tax deduction.
  • If you run it sorting by who pays (employee, employer or no one), you will also receive totals of deductions that are Employee Paid, Employer Paid and Not Paid by Anyone. NOTE: The Deduction Gross total for the Pay ID is not meaningful, since it represents the total of all deduction gross amounts (so it includes several gross amounts for each employee).

Best Practice

  • Recommendation - RDA recommends that you review the details of the Deduction Register Summary to verify that the Pay ID's deduction totals are correct.

Deduction Register Summary

  • HR → Payroll → Start tab → Deduction Registers → Summary
  • In the Pay Identification field, pull in the current Pay ID.
  • You have the option to Sort by Who Pays (this is useful for entering totals on the Payroll Worksheet).
  • To include all Deductions for the Pay ID, no ranges should be entered and all select options should be on/true.
  • Click Select to run the report.

Troubleshooting

If a deduction computed incorrectly

  • If looking at the employee-level detail on the deduction might help identify the problem, run the Deduction Register (Deduction Registers → Deduction Register).
  • Undo the Compute by going to Maintenance → Undo Payroll Process → Compute Payroll
  • Make the necessary corrections to the Deduction Description or Personnel Deduction.
  • Compute Payroll.
  • Run the Deduction Register, and verify that the deduction(s) have now computed correctly.
  • If you use the Compute Completed setup option, you must run the Deduction Register (not the Deduction Register Summary), as it sets flags on the Personnel Pay Master for Compute Completed. Reviewing the Deduction Register is also a good way to research any potentially inaccurate totals because it provides the employee-level detail for each deduction.
