Sage 50 Payroll contains a Global Changes option, which you can use to make amendments to a group of payments or deductions, rather than having to amend each pay element individually.

To save you time, and to avoid repetition, you can use the Global Changes option to quickly set the calculation flags for one or more payment or deduction type at the same time.
