[SchoolFinance] School ERP Pro

[Chad Allen]

Hi Katie,

We received the update last week. The deduction type is "State of ME - Paid
Family and Medical Leave" not "Paid Family and Medical Leave - Maine" as
noted in the instructions (insert eyeroll). Look under "State of Maine" in
the drop down menu under "type" when creating the deduction and you should
see it. If not, I would call or email support and request the update so you
get it sooner rather than later.
