Definition

The data for garnishments is stored in several infotypes. The garnishment document information is stored in the infotype Garnishment Document (Infotype 0194). This infotype must be created before you can create a garnishment order.

Use

The Garnishment Order (Infotype 0195) allows you to store the processing data for a garnishment request. This data includes:

This infotype can be displayed in either a fast-entry or detail-entry screen. Both screens allow you to enter the main data of the garnishment order type, but only the fast-entry screen allows you to insert several order types using one entry screen.

If you need to fill in more fields than there are in the fast-entry screen, you can use the detail-entry screen, which you can access from the fast-entry screen by choosing Garnishment ® Order, by selecting Order from the toolbar, or by simply double-clicking the desired entry in the fast-entry screen.

Structure

The order fast-entry screen enables you to enter information on multiple garnishment orders at one time.

The deduction is defined in two fields. The Deduction Unit field refers the specified unit to the value of the deduction for calculating the deduction of every pay period. The Value of Deduction field is the value which will be taken from payments to the employee, for all periods, until the garnishment end date has been met.

The Limit information corresponds to three fields. The Limit Indicator tells you whether the Limit Value is for the exempt or the non-exempt amount. The system refers the Limit Unit to the value for calculating the non-exempt amount. The Limit Value allows you to enter either an amount or a percentage.

The Lock Indicator allows you to lock an order type so the information is not considered during the payroll run.

The detail-entry screen includes all of the fields on the fast-entry screen, except for the operation field, as well as the fields discussed below.

If you copy an entry in the detail screen of this infotype, a new field will appear, New Balance. This tells the system to no longer use the remaining balance. It will deduct the initial balance, ignoring the old balance. If you do not select this field, the system will correct the remaining balance by calculating the difference between the new entry and the old entry.

You can choose Supplements on the toolbar if you need to add additional information pertaining to a Federal Tax levy or State tax case. This information includes the tax filing status, the model for levy statement, the number of exemptions, any additional standard deductions, and the levy form date.

Integration

Adjustments to a garnishment, such as a refund, a stopped payment or an additional deduction, are performed in Garnishment Adjustment (Infotype 0216).
