If any of the following error messages appear:

  • Deduction already exists with this Pay Code and Reference..

  • Deduction with same reference already exists for...

when trying to set up a deduction on the Maintain Employee Deduction screen, it is because the pay code has already been used. The system will only allow a reference to be used once for historical purposes.
​
To resolve this, set up the deduction with a different reference other than the one currently populated on screen.

πŸ“ŒNote: There should be no spaces in the reference and maximum length allowed is 12 characters.

Follow these steps to add a new deduction.
