Documentation

Definition

You can use this indicator to set a payment or deduction wage type.

' ' defines a payment and 'A' a deduction.

• If you use this indicator, you must create separate payment and deduction wage types. Both payments and deductions are then entered as positive values. This helps you identify the original wage type even after corrections have been made.
Example:

' ' 7475 rent allowance

'A' 8190 rent deduction

Used as

7475 rent allowance 50.00

8190 rent deduction 50.00

• If you do not set this indicator, you must enter deductions as negative values. This requires fewer wage types.

  Example:

  ' ' 7000 rent

  Used as

  7000 rent $50.00 payment

  7000 rent -$50.00 deduction
