Dynamics GP 2016: HR/Payroll Benefit/Deduction End Date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Our Company has been using Dynamics GP 2016 [Ver. 16.00.0552 (R2)] for Payroll and HR since January 2017.  We are using Human Resources module with Payroll.

My question is about the End Date field shown in the Benefit Maintenance window and Deduction Maintenance window. Does the End Date field actually do anything? I originally assumed that the End Date field would automatically stop a benefit/deduction after the End Date had passed but that hasn't happened.

Example: Employee X is setup with an Employee Loan Benefit from the Miscellaneous Benefits Card (HR & PAYROLL > CARDS > HUMAN RESOURCES > MISCELLANEOUS BENEFITS) with a Start Date of 1/1/2017 and End Date of 1/31/2017. The corresponding Deduction Card for Employee X reflects the same start date and end date as the Benefit. When the next payroll is run in February which doesn't include any days from January, the Employee Loan deduction is still taken. The Benefit Card and Deduction Card still reflect the Benefit/Deduction being active even though the 1/31/2017 End Date has passed. 

Feedback on how End Date is working (if at all) for other users would be appreciated.

    I had the opposite issue happen. 

    I entered an end date for an employee's heath benefit and deduction of 10/31/17 as I wanted the deduction to be withheld from the last paycheck in October (paydate of 10/27 which was paying for pay period 9/30-10/13) 

    I did not mark the deduction or benefit inactive, however, the employee's paycheck still did not have the deduction withheld, even though the deduction end date is not until after the pay period I was paying out for.

    Has anyone had this issue?

    Here is the verbiage from the GP payroll user guide from September 2012, which is for GP 2013. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34662

    I do not have the user guide for 2016, however this blog series is a good resource: https://community.dynamics.com/gp/b/dynamicsgp/archive/2016/03/30/microsoft-dynamics-gp-2016-new-features-blog-series-schedule

    Here is the verbiage from GP 2013: Enter start and end dates for the deduction. The start date should be on or before the ending date of the pay period the first deduction is to be made; otherwise, the deduction won’t be taken. If it’s a continuous deduction, leave the end date field blank. If the ending date is on or after the ending date for the pay run, the deduction will be taken.

    Based on this verbiage, it does sound like that if the deduction ending date is before the ending day for the pay run, the deduction should not be taken. If it's not working as such, this may be a bug.

    I do not have GP 2016 installed locally so I was not able to test this out.

    We are seeing something similar along with the inactive check box on the payroll side not being checked when there is a definite end date.

    Worked with a client today that has noticed this happening as well.  So they had a deduction end on 2/12/17 and when they ran payroll for 2/13/17 to 2/27/17 check date 3/3/17 it still took the deduction.  They noticed that this had stopped working the end of 2016.

    The workaround they are using is to inactivate the deduction.  Don't know if that will help with your deduction.
