To automatically deduct time from a time sheet:You can deduct time automatically from your time sheet so you do not have to enter each day's non-work time. For example, if you take lunch daily and need to deduct that time, you can set your system to subtract one hour for each day, or 30 minutes for each four hours of work.
Use the Time Off Category Maintenance control maintenance record to sets the deduction category to use for automatic deductions. For example, you set your time sheet to deduct 30 minutes for every 4 hours of work. The setting in this control maintenance record is the deduction category used for those deductions. You can choose from any of the categories set up in Deduction Maintenance.
