PR05 Deduction priority assignments

We are evaluating our deduction priorities and needing answer to what fields determine the categories in which priorities are assigned. Infor Support stated that the priority is assigned within each of the following categories. Our question...what is the logic for determining these categories - is it a combination of fields on the PR05 and if so, which fields?

1.Withholding type deductions
2. Exclude from disposable income deductions
3. Garnishment deductions
4. Other deductions

Also looking for recommendations on smart coding deductions since the "Other deductions" category sorts numeric/alpha on the actual deduction code.

Thank you in advance!

Very interested in other opinions on this. We currently have an issue with employees who have an additional Federal withholding and because federal and FICA/Medicare are all the same priority the federal is coming out first. What if the employee wages are less than the Additional amount. No FICA/Medicare comes out.

We recently had the similar issue when there was insufficient wages - it took Federal (when there was an additional amount) instead of taking our 403b deductions. This is what prompted us to evaluate priorities on all of our codes.

This was happening to us when I first started, so when I finally got to talk to someone who knew the priorities, I made changes. I put OASE and OASC as 1, MEDE and MEDC as 2, FED as 3 and State as 4. I haven't had problems since!

What did you do with 401k ? We have the priority at 2 today and the federal overrides the 401k.

Hi KJensen, what priority do you have 403b/401k assigned to?
