Deductions

The Federal Fund and the TRS Care type deductions are required for charging to work correctly for the corresponding amounts calculated by the TEAM load process. Both deduction types must have a record in the deduction code/type pairs array on the Deduction Table page.

These deductions are used only for record-keeping, as fringe detail distribution records require a deduction code. They are also used to determine the TEAM charged amounts in payroll redistribution so that the correct withholding/fringe account is used.

Set up deduction codes for Federal Fund and TRS Care type deductions and assign them to the corresponding Deduction Type on the TX TEAM Report - Deduction Code Crosswalk page.
