Is there is a relationship between the deduction sequence number on personnel data to the one sent on the payroll data?
For personnel processing, agencies may either report a deduction with multiple occurrences on Record ID 240 – Employee Deduction Information: • once as a rolled-up amount if all other fields are identical or • multiple times with each amount listed individually with different Deduction Sequence Numbers. For payroll processing, agencies should use a unique sequence number to report each vendor ID within a deduction on a 550 Record – Deduction Transaction. However, payroll deduction transactions are not verified against the deductions recorded in the SPRS personnel database at the deduction sequence number level; only the deduction code is checked against personnel data.
