Garnishment Debt (Infotype 0067)
Definition
The Garnishment Debt infotype is accessed from the Garnishment Order (Infotype 0066). While the Garnishment Order infotype is used to store administrative information, the Garnishment Debt infotype stores the actual debt or debts of a garnishment order.
Structure
There are two main screens on which you can enter data:
Debt overview screen
In most cases, you can enter all the information pertaining to the garnishment debt using this screen. In the top half of the screen, you see the garnishment order case numbers and the order number. This tells you to which order the debts belong. The bottom half of the screen is for display purposes only. It displays any adjustments made to garnishment debts using the Garnishment Adjustment (Infotype 0068).
Debt screen
This screen contains all of the main fields of the Debt overview screen and allows you to enter additional information that may be required in certain cases. It also enables you to overwrite how the maximum garnishment limit is calculated in the rule.
From the Debt screen you can also access two additional screens:
This screen allows you to specify a special payment schedule. There is a field for each pay period per month. You can enter an amount in each field. This amount is owed in the corresponding pay period. For example, if the employee has a weekly pay period, five fields appear. Three fields are displayed for biweekly pay periods, and two fields appear for semimonthly pay periods.
A garnishment limit may depend not only on the number of dependants, but also on additional data. If this is the case, you can define fields for this information in the Garnishments IMG under Special rule. In the supplement screen, you can enter values for these fields, and the supplemental data can be used in the rule to calculate a limit. You can define up to two percentage fields and up to two amount fields.
