This article explains how to open and edit an existing deduction header, and which attributes become restricted based on how the deduction header has been used.
⚠️ Important: You can edit all deduction header attributes until the deduction header is linked to a deduction on a payee record. After that, you cannot change the Deduction Type. If the deduction header has been used in a pay batch, some additional fields can no longer be edited.
Edit an Existing Deduction Header
Open the deduction header record in the Deduction Header Entry screen.
If the record is not already open, search for the deduction header, then click the view/edit button next to the required record.
Change the deduction header attributes as required.
Click Save.
The deduction header is saved.
Understand Edit Restrictions
The fields you can edit depend on whether the deduction header has been linked to a payee deduction or used in a pay batch.
When the Deduction Header Is Linked to a Payee Deduction
Once the deduction header is linked to a deduction on a payee record, you can no longer edit the Deduction Type.
When the Deduction Header Has Been Used in a Pay Batch
Once the deduction header has been used in a pay batch, you can no longer edit these attributes:
GST / VAT.
Show on Payment Summary for AU Payroll.
Banking Details where EFT payment applies to the deduction header.
