Limits on Deductions (Infotype 0165)

Definition

Infotype in which you can store information about limits on deductions. You can create certain maximum values for payments and deductions for individual employees and individual wage type classes.

Use

The infotype Limits on Deductions (0165) is not used in all countries.

You can create entries in the infotype Limits on Deductions when you want to create limits, for an individual employee or a group of employees, which deviate from a constant limit in table T51D1 (Limits on Deductions). An individual limit from the infotype Limits on Deductions overrides a constant limit, if its wage type class and interval for limits match.

Structure

You can make the following entries in the group box Limits on Deductions:

Wage Type Class

The wage type class is stored as a subtyp of the infotype. A limit is always only valid for one wage type class.

Interval for Limits

To assign a certain interval to the limit, enter a cumulation type here, for example M for monthly or Y for yearly. The system cumulates all amounts that accrue within this period for a certain limit.

Amount

To specify a fixed amount as a limit, determine the amount here.

Rule for limits

Instead of entering a fixed amount you can also enter the name of a rule for limits. This rule determines the wage types from which the system forms a limit, and how the amounts of the wage types are taken into account.

You can also specify several individual limits at the same time for one employee. When you want to specify a fixed amount and a rule, you must create two different infotype records. You can only specify either a constant limit in the amount field or a rule in the rule for limits field in one infotype record.

For limits processing during the payroll run only the lowest existing limit per wage type class is important.

Example

You want the following requirements to be met for an employee's deductions for the 401K savings plan.

The deductions should,at the very most, amount to 5% of the total gross amount
The deductions should also not exceed the limit of USD 4,000 annually.

To meet the first requirement you have to have specified in Customizing for Payroll a rule ABCD. In this rule you determined the wage type for the total gross amount and the percentage of 5%. There is an example of such a rule under Rule for Limits.

You create the following infotype records in the infotype Limits on Deductions:
