From the Payroll screen, select the Maintenance menu and then Deductions.
Note: If desired, to access the Deduction File from Negotiations (if applicable), select the Payroll menu from the Negotiations screen and then Deductions.
At the Deductions screen, enter the ID of the deduction to change to a rate table in the Deduction ID field. If the ID is not known, click the down-arrow button or the Find button to select the correct one.
Select the Options menu and then Convert to Rate Table.
When prompted, click Yes to continue.
The system adds each different rate entered for the deduction for active employees (from the Deductions screen in the Employee File for active shares only) to the rate table, and updates the records for the applicable employees to reference the appropriate rate on the table and the applicable rate type (Fixed Table or Percent Table, depending on how the original rate was set up).
Tip: The Rate Type field (on the General screen in the Deduction File) is also updated for the deduction to reflect the appropriate type (Fixed Table or Percent Table), based on how the majority of the employees are now set up with the deduction.
To view the new rate table for the deduction, click the Rate Table tab.
If desired, edit the Rate Descriptions for the rates on the table. The description for each rate can be alphanumeric and up to 40 characters long.
Repeat the steps until all the desired deductions have been converted.
