Defining burden pool drivers

Burden pool drivers identify the criteria used to select source transactions for burden calculations. The burden pool drivers you define are based on the driver type you selected for the burden code. For example, you have a burden code with a driver type of Employee. Burden pool drivers let you identify the specific employees that make a transaction eligible for burdens. Use this procedure to define one or more burden pool drivers for each burden code.

  1. Access Pool Driver Values (AC62.1).
  2. In the Burden Code field, select the burden code for which you are defining drivers.
  3. In the Pool Number field, specify a number and a description for the pool. Pool numbers can contain up to three digits.
    Note: You can define multiple pools for a single burden code, but ensure that each burden code and pool number combination is unique.
  4. Select the pool driver values that you want to use as criteria when selecting source transactions for burden calculations. Complete one of these tabs:
