Definition

Currently, this field supports the following values:

1 - Garnishment has access to remaining amount of support garn.

In compliance with garnishment law, the standard system assigns support garnishments higher priority than other garnishments. As a result, deductions for support garnishments occur before all other deductions.

Under normal circumstances, an entry in this field is not required. However, as the following example illustrates, cases may arise in which an entry in this field becomes necessary.

A support garnishment has a non-exempt amount of 50% of the disposable net. A creditor garnishment has a non-exempt amount of 25%. If the support garnishment uses 30% of its non-exempt amount, no earnings will be garnished for the creditor. However, in some states (such as Oklahoma), the creditor garnishment should receive its 25% non-exempt amount from the 50% non-exempt amount of the support garnishment. Consequently, the support garnishment receives its 30% first, followed by the creditor garnishment, which receives its 20%.

Select value 1 if you want the system to perform as in the example.

As of note 704671, the new value 2 is available:

2 - Multiple creditor exceptional case.

If multiple creditor garnishments are present, the exceptional case configured via value 1 applies the creditor limit (25% in the above example) individually to each creditor. However, it might be intended to apply this limit jointly, i.e. the total deductions of all creditors may not exceed 25%.

This deduction behavior can be achieved using the value 2.

In order for the calculation to work properly, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • All creditor garnishments must use the same model for calculating the non-exempt amount (view V_T5UG3).
  • Within V_T5UG3, the fields 'Limit 1', 'Limit 2' and 'Additional Amount' define the limit jointly valid for the creditor garnishments. The same fields on infotype 0195 (Garnishment Order) must not be populated.
  • The limit for the creditor orders using value 2 is below the support order limit.
