This section describes the process of creating deductions on a case. The process begins with the selection of the deduction category. This determines how the deduction amount is processed, i.e., whether or not it is applied to a liability or issued to a third party recipient. The information entered for the new deduction is dependent on the deduction category. For example, third party deductions require third party account information.
The deduction amount must be entered for all new deductions. It can either be a fixed amount or based on a variable rate. The time period during which the deduction is effective must be defined and the priority in which the deduction is processed must be set.
