How do I calculate benefits using debit overrides? (2024.05)
Calculate benefits will use the default GL accounts in Organization to calculate benefits. If you would like to use the GL debit override from the pay code, then you can set up the options to choose to calculate benefits using the debit override account from the employee pay code instead of using the account that is usually associated with the benefit pay code.
The debit override account is saved in the employee pay code in Modify Existing Employees. If the debit account is blank, Connect will use the debit account from the pay code to calculate benefits. However, if the employee pay code has a debit account, Connect will use the debit account from the employee pay code to calculate the employee's benefits.
This is a new feature in the 2024.05 release.
Setting up my preferences to use debit overrides
1. Open Connect Payroll > Employees > Calculate Benefits.
2. Click Options (F12).
3. Click to select Calculate using debit overrides.
4. Click OK.
