Structure
Subtypes
The infotype is divided into different garnishment types. The garnishment type and the garnishment number represent a subtype. The following subtypes have been set up in the standard:
You can set up more garnishment types in Customizing.
Initial screen: Administration Data
The system provides a garnishment number. Only overwrite this number in special cases. Choose a number that has not been used.
If you create a record, the system enter the default value 1 in the Status field. With this, the garnishment/cession is set to active. However, you can select other values. In the Date field, the system defaults to today’s date. You can overwrite this date.
Enter the creditor’s data that is relevant for the garnishment/cession. Record either the creditor’s company/department or his or her name (with title).
If you choose Maintain addresses, you go to the view Change Addresses Using Address Management: Overview. To create a new address, choose New Entries and enter a text for the new address. Afterwards, choose Address and enter the relevant data.
Next screen: Additional administration data
If you choose Additional Administration Data you enter another screen. Here you make your entries. Enter data for the court order for garnishment. If there are other garnishments that have been served for a particular garnishment/session, you must enter the required data in the Date of issue field.
Next screen: Correspondence data
If you choose Correspondence, you go to another screen. Here you make your entries. Here you can enter additional data regarding the correspondence with the creditor.
Integration
If you create or copy a record for this infotype and then save, the system gives you a sequence of the most important infotypes for garnishment/cession. You process these one after the other. The validity date and the garnishment type and number are then transferred to Garnishment/Cession A infotype (0131). When it copies, the system also provides other default data.
You can only delete the administration data if no data is available in the other infotypes for garnishment/cession. If you want to delete a record for Garnishment/Cession infotype (0131), you must first delete the other infotypes for garnishment/cession.
SAP recommends that you delimit a garnishment at first by using Environment
® Delimit Garnishment. If later claims come, you can then enter them at a later time. If you delete a garnishment, all data is lost.
