Master Deduction Screen
Payroll> Setup> Deductions, Reimbursements and Other Compensation

Resolution/Fix/Answer

PENTA prohibits access to this window’s Deduction, Reimbursement, and Other Compensation blocks for the current deduction when the following conditions exist:

  • When you assign the current deduction to an employee that is part of an in-progress gross to net process. Once the gross to net process completes, PENTA re-allows access.
  • When the current deduction is set up to trigger another deduction.
  • When another deduction is set up to trigger the current deduction.
  • When the current deduction displays in the “Link to Deductions” block of an Other Compensation record in the Other Compensation Information window.

If you are unable to edit any of the blocks in question, please check all of the above conditions.
