PR05 deduction set up net to zero/create arrears - will that work if we uploaded amounts to PR39?

We have a deduction set up on PR39 as 'net to zero/create arrears', but will that work if we uploaded amounts every pay period directly to PR39? We get a file from our POS system in the cafeteria when employees use their badges to charge during the pay period. We use the file and directly upload those amounts to PR39. So I am wondering if the net to zero/create arrears will work if an employee can not pay for the entire deduction - seems like it should, but we had to tweak the amount during payroll last week. Any other ideas out there are welcome! Thank you

We use PR14 for our cafeteria deductions. We upload a file each pay period using PR514 and have the deductions set up a Descending Balance Type - the amount of the deduction is loaded into the Amount or percentage and the Balance Amount - when payroll is run it takes the deduction and clears out the balance amount to 00.00 for next time. Hope this helps.

Any one-time deductions loaded into PR39 would ignore the 'net to zero/create arrears' setup on the PR05. That's because basically, PR39 are arrears and you can't create an arrears on an arrear.

Items on PR39 will be processed as 'all or none', meaning it will take the full amount of the deduction or none of the deduction.

thank you! that makes sense. It's not often that we have this issue of someone not having enough earnings to cover the deduction. Appreciate the alternative.
