Garnishment reports retrieve garnishment data from the system. Three of these reports display relevant garnishment data, and one manipulates data to change the status of garnishments in the infotypes via batch input.

The garnishment reports are the following:

• The Garnishment History Report

The garnishment history report displays the garnishment history for a specified employee. You will be able to see the corrections and deductions for the history of the employee, as well as remaining balances and the total to date. You can see the service charges, if any, that were rendered by the company, as well as remittance information.

• The Garnishment Review Report

The garnishment review report displays all customizing parameters that are used in processing garnishments. These parameters include the tables in which the information is stored.

• The Garnishment Statistics Report

The garnishment statistics report displays the total number of employees with garnishments and without garnishments by personnel area, personnel subarea, employee group and employee subgroup.

• The Garnishment Batch Input Reports

A garnishment batch input report should be run after every payroll run to change garnishment status. These reports will do one of the following:

1. Change all expired garnishments with the status of Active to Inactive.
2. Change all relevant garnishments from Pending to Active.
3. Delimit all chosen garnishments.

The information is then updated automatically in the infotypes using batch input.

• Garnishment Letters

There are two types of garnishment letters that you can create and print using the SAP System. These are Answer Letters and Notice Letters. You can create each of them, either for an individual employee or a group of employees. The mechanism used for creating letters for a group of employees is automatic, depending on different events in the system. Depending on these events a flag is stored that is read by the report that creates the letter. The mechanism used for creating a letter for an individual employee is the employee’s garnishment infotype.
