The Enable Deduction command makes a deduction available to be assigned to employees. If a System Deduction or a deduction in the Active & Disabled state is enabled, employees to which the deduction is assigned will have the deduction assessed against their wages in the next payroll period.
Both active and inactive deductions can be enabled.
When a deduction is enabled, employees to which the deduction is assigned will have the deduction assessed against their wages in the next payroll period.
The command also encumbers the employer’s portion of the deduction amount as applicable.
Important: The process of enabling a deduction will temporarily prevent users from accessing the General Ledger Journal Entry screen, especially if the deduction being enabled was in the Active & Disabled state. This "lockout" happens because the system is enabling the deduction in every employee deduction set that includes it and writing the encumbrance transaction to the GL.
In the Manage Deductions window, check the box(es) for the disabled deduction(s) to be enabled.
Click the Enable Deduction button, and click Yes when asked to confirm the action. This process may take a few minutes, so the job is process is added to the job queue. Once the process is complete, you're notified that you can view the result.
