Deduction Mass Change |
Deduction Mass Change job is used for Deduction Attribute Change, Deduction Mass Expiration and Deduction Move to or Create a New Type/Plan in a large scale. The job reads data from Deduction Parameter table to create new transaction. The data in the operational tables are updated when the transaction is submitted. The minimum effective date and maximum expiration date are retrieved from DED_MAS_CHG table. Deduction records, that are effective within these dates, are retrieved from DED_PARM table. For each Deduction record’s effective and expiration dates, deduction mass change records are retrieved. For each deduction mass change record, the selection criteria are matched with data in the current deduction Parameter record. If the selection criteria are matched, then a transaction is created for the Request Type in that deduction mass change record. If selection criteria are not matched, then the next deduction mass change record is matched against the current Deduction Parameter record and the process continues until all deduction mass change records are processed. A separate PDF report is generated for each deduction transaction at the end that contains Selection Criteria, Revised Criteria of MAS5 and deduction transaction information. Mass Change can create ENRL, MISC, NPD and PENS transactions. |

The Retro Deduction Calculation step performs three key functions:
Retro Deduction Calculation (HAB3620) uses the output from Extract Data for Retro Deduction to call the Gross-to-net Deduction (HAB2150) program to recalculate the Deductions. The process will then compare the new deductions to the previously generated deductions for the same period. Any differences will be outputted to the Retro Pending Deduction table to be processed at a later time into Pending Deductions for input into Gross-to-Net run. The Retro Deduction Processing Detail Report (HAR3640) will read the file of Retro Pending Deduction records producing a detail processing report. |
