## Purpose

The purpose of this quick reference guide is to step through the process of creating an Accounting
Default Account record for Deduction Pay Codes. The Accounting Default Accounts are used to
automatically assign a specific Natural Account Number for the specified Pay Code.

It is used to set Pay Code overrides from the default Natural Account number. The intended audience for
this document is System Administrators / Standard Users.
