When using the Set Up Allowance Plan Adjustment task to update an allowance plan amount,...

Employees managed byManage Basis Total (MBT)require theirprimary compensation basis totalto remain unchanged when allowance plan adjustments are made.

By selectingRetain Basis Total for MBT Employees, Workday keeps the overall basis constant and reallocates other plans in the MBT calculation instead of increasing the total.

Why not the others?

A. Clear MBT checkbox→ Would remove MBT management completely.

C. Clear Retain Basis Total→ Opposite of required behavior.

D. Adjust to New Defaults→ Updates values, but doesn’t enforce retention of MBT total.
