MSR Deductions Table Maintenance (MSR DEDS)

Use MSR Deductions Table Maintenance to maintain the setup for payment of the Maine State Retirement System (MSRS) benefits via the Vendor Invoices and Checks feature.  The MSR DEDS table establishes the links between Run Codes and the associated Deduction Codes for the MSRS.  The Monthly Retirement Report prompts for the Run Code, and therefore retrieves the correct Deduction Code associated with the Run Code.  In turn, each MSR Deduction Code establishes the links to the associated Vendor Number and Fringe Number.
