How to prevent non-base pay accounts from blending with expense on the Deduction and Benefit Master

We do not want our health benefits blending expense accounts with non-base pays.

• Munis
• Payroll Exceptions

Add non-base pay codes into processing code 1 exceptions for the benefit deductions:

1. Access Deduction and Benefit Master: Payroll > Payroll Setup > Deduction and Benefit Master
2. Search on the health benefit and click Exceptions in the ribbon
3. On the processing code 1 record, click Update
4. TAB into a new row and enter the non-base pay code range(s)  you do not want this deduction's expense account to blend with
5. Click Accept

If a processing code 1 record doesn't already exist:

1. Access Deduction and Benefit Master: Payroll > Payroll Setup > Deduction and Benefit Master
2. Search on the health benefit and click Exceptions in the ribbon
3. Click Add, enter the deduction code and select Processing Code 1
4. TAB into the exclusion ranges and enter the desired range(s) of non-base pays
5. Click Accept

Note that this will also exclude the pay codes' pay amount from being included in the deduction gross.
