Limits on Deductions from a Payment

The payroll run usually take all deductions against an earnings type or non-payroll payment, but there can be certain circumstances under which it should take only tax deductions or only tax and pre-tax deductions. So that you can exercise control over deductions processed for a payment, Oracle Payroll generates all earnings in the Earnings and Supplemental Earnings classifications, and all payments in the classification Non-payroll Payments, with the input value Deduction Processing.

The entry in this input value defaults to All (process all deductions), as does the entry in the Deduction Processing region of the Earnings window. You can change this default for an earnings or payment element on its links using the Element Link window, or for individual employees using the Element Entries window.

Input Value for Tax or Tax and Pre-Tax Deductions Only

Input Value Name Purpose of Entry
Deduction Processing Tax Only means, process tax deductions only for this earnings type or payment. PreTax and Tax Only means, process only tax and pretax deductions. Default is All.
