A deduction history is automatically maintained for all deductions. It records payment processing for a deduction throughout its lifetime and is automatically updated when a user creates, activates, or de-activates a deduction. The deduction history is also updated during deduction processing. For example, if a deduction is not processed because there is an insufficient amount remaining on the benefit, the system updates the deduction history with a record of the skipped deduction.
Every time that the system detects an instance of processing for a deduction, the deduction is added to the history. The history displays a record of the deduction, the date the history was updated, and the status of the deduction. If the deduction has been processed, payment details are also displayed.
Additionally, the history also displays details of liabilities related to applied deductions, such as any outstanding amounts on a liability as well as the original liability amount. The deduction history allows a user to track the progress of a deduction from the time it is created to the time it is processed.
