I need to double up on some benefit deductions. I am using the human resources/benefits module and creating deductions from there. So far, I've only been able to manually change the deduction to take additional deductions. It seems that there should be a way to leave the human resource/benefit/deduction link alone and just add additional deduction. I've tried to do this while entering payroll, but when I choose Deduction from Type there are none to choose from in the Code column.
Thanks for replying! I usually only have one at a time, here or there. It's not really a big deal. So changing the deduction, running the payroll, then changing it back is what I've been doing. It's just that once you create the deduction through the Benefits module, I hate to mess with what was created. I guess I'm not messing anything up, but it just seems like there should be an option to "Add additional deduction" like there is to add additional salary, etc.
Thanks again.

Hello! Thanks for reaching out to the community.
You are correct, you can key in a transaction, but on the payroll deduction record in order to key in a transaction you have to mark the Transaction required checkbox on the left of the window. This means the deduction will only come out when you key a transaction.
I'm not sure how many you have, but you could change the deduction, run the payroll, then change it back?
Thanks
