PR140/PR80 Custom Calcs - multiple passes???

Woozy,
We need to know how the custom calc is being called. Is this a routine inside a perform statements?

Can you post the statements that do the perform (calc) and the custom calc codes.

Actually I should have been a bit clearer. It's the PRUEDED user exit that is called by PR140/PR80 when the deduction code is set with an "X" to use a custom calculation.

It's the delivered payroll deduction user exit (PRUEDED) that I'm talking about.

Quite confused here. when you say custom calc is this your custom code or Lawson delivered? PRUEDED is a library member that only initializes you deduction bucket. When you say "processed multiple times" does that mean it has the same amount? After PRUDED there are several calculations involve depending on EE's benefit setup. BSI tax calculation happens during this process.

We have custom code in the PRUEDED user exit program. When we animate the PR140/PR80, we noticed that it runs through the PRUEDED code multiple times for each deduction code.

It appears that it processes each timerecord separately couple of times, then with the total timecard gross a couple of times but we can't figure out why, or where it decided which value to actually populate onto the check.

Because our custom calc uses the PRUE-GROSS-PAY as an input, processing based on a timerecord is going to result in a different PRUE-DED-AMOUNT result than running it as an entire timecard.

I'm just trying to understand what it is doing...

Thanks.

As far as I know, the deduction is calculated once per payment. If all the time records go to the same payment, one deduction will be creatred. On the other hand, if the field TRD-CHECK-GRP has a value, so separate checks are created for separate groups of time records, deduction will be created for each group.
