Disabling a deduction or benefit

The Disable Deduction command is used to make a deduction unavailable for assignment to employees.

• Both active and inactive deductions can be disabled.

• When a deduction is disabled, any employees to which the deduction is assigned will have the deduction disabled in their deduction set.

• Any remaining encumbered funds are released for each employee with which the deduction is associated.

Important: The process of disabling a deduction will temporarily prevent users from accessing the General Ledger Journal Entry screen, especially if the deduction being disabled was in the Active & Enabled state. This "lockout" happens because the system is disabling the deduction in all employee deduction sets that included it and releasing the encumbrance transaction in the GL.

To disable a deduction:

1. In the Manage Deductions window, check the box(es) for the  enabled deduction(s) to be disabled.

2. Click the Disable 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.

3. Click on the View Result link, and the Results window opens showing success or failure and giving error messages for failed results. Note: This report can be exported to Excel or PDF so you can review the results after you close the window.

4. Click Close when you're finished reviewing the results.
