The Order column is used to set the order for each deduction/benefit added to the aggregate deduction/benefit group data grid.
- The system will utilize the Order column to stop the deductions/benefits when the maximum is reached. For example: If a deduction annual maximum will be reached in a payroll batch, the system will take the amount remaining within the maximum out of the deduction code with the lowest Order value first, then from the deduction with the next lowest Order value for any remaining amount available.
- The deduction/benefit with the lowest Order value will be considered the “master” deduction/benefit. This deduction/benefit is where the annual or lifetime maximum will be set in deduction/benefit maintenance. Any maximum on another deduction/benefit in the group will be ignored by the system.
  - Annual and lifetime maximums are set on the Deduction/Benefit Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Deduction/Benefit> Calculation tab> Revisions section). Click here for information on Deduction/Benefit Maintenance.
  - Annual and lifetime maximums that are set on the Deduction/Benefit Maintenance window will be overridden when the master deduction/benefit is attached to employee records that include employee-specific maximums (PR> Maintenance> Employee> Deductions/Benefits tabs> Revision section> Annual Max and Lifetime Max fields). Click here for information on Employee Maintenance.
