Start/End: This controls when the deduction does and doesn’t apply at a date level. Left blank no date restrictions will apply.
Max/Per: These two fields determine the most amount of money can be taken out per time period selected.
Priority: The priority determines which deduction comes out first should multiple deductions compete on a check.
Stop Amt: This determines the most the deduction can take out in total.
Condition: This allows you to specify if the deduction should only apply when the net or gross of the check is over or under a certain amount.
Vendor: Listing a vendor carries over to reports to easily view what vendors are owed what amounts deducted.
