;[Seq #|COMPONENT_SEQUENCE]:The Sequence field specifies the order in which the Benefits or Payroll Calculation program will calculate the benefits components.\\ \\''For example, in order to calculate the employee deduction that should be collected, it is necessary to know the premium amount. In order to know the premium, it is necessary to know the coverage amount. Therefore, the sequence of which of these items (benefits components) should be found, derived, or calculated first is essential for proper benefit enrollment maintenance.'' \\ \\Sequences are numbered in the order needed for processing, this means that some of the sequences __do not__ correspond to the BC code. It is recommended the sequence numbers not be changed without the supervision of a consultant.\\ \\Component_Sequence is a mandatory 5-digit numeric field that is provided.
