PRINT_ZERO_RULE is an optional fixed lexicon which is used throughout the application and thus has multiple usages.

The field is used in the Benefits Module (IBPN & IBRM) to control whether employees with zero premium amounts (for any reason) who are enrolled in the benefit plan should be reported.

The field is also used in the Define Interface Formats form (IDIF). This field is applicable to Numeric fields only and is used for Record Type = 'Detail Record'.

If the amount is zero, this field indicates to include this amount in the interface file or not. e.g. if the field is from 'Statistics Amount' and the amount is zero, the user may not want to report this amount

If all the numeric amounts are zero within one Record# and the Print Zero Rule are set to 'Do not Print zeros' for each field, then this entry will not be reported on interface file.
