Before you can set up benefit plans in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources, you must configure Benefits management parameters. These parameters set default values, reason codes, and other options.

Configure general parameters

1. In the Benefits management workspace, under Setup, select Human Resources Shared Parameters.

2. In the Benefits management tab, specify values for the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Country/region	The Country/region field determines the display order of ZIP codes/states. The selected country/region displays first in the dropdown list.
   Enrollment reason code	Select a default reason code to use when employee plans are created during open enrollment processing.
