Garnishment Deduction Priority

Issue- US Payroll
Hello,

My client is facing an issue with the Garnishment Deduction Priority.

The Creditor Garnishment is getting deducted first instead of Child support.

Ideally system should take out Child support first, before taking out a 25% for a creditor. This is
happening specifically in Virginia

Can anyone tell me how to change the priority settings so that the child support gets deducted first

Thanks in Advance,

Pooja

Hi Jagan,

Thanks for your response..!!

Below is screen shot of V_T51P6. The Priorities are set right for Creditor and Support

RT before PRPRI funtion is below-

Processing of PRPRI funtion-

Payslip of the employee-

The client is expecting the below results-

This creditor should be 25% minus the support
(277 minus 209.78 with a balance of 67.68 is what should be the balance
deducted)

It took out the full 25% for the creditor when it

should have subtracted the support first out of the 25% then deducted the
difference for the creditor

Please suggest..!!

Check if there was any output from PRDNT function before PRPRI; this might have cancelled out
one entry of w/t 3020 with $15.00.

Post also output of PRPRI.

Hi Jagan,

All the entries of w/t 3020 exist. None of the entry is cancelled out.

PRPRI output is given below

Aplogies, I did not see the PRPRI log properly. Also you may not have posted the PRPRI log fully;
your post shows only 4 entries of 3020, and RT has 5.

As you can see PRPRI log, it is deducting in the order of priority and w/t - which means priority A w/t
3020, then priority B w/t 3010. This is correct.

Please clarify your requirement.

Hi Jagan,

The system is taking the priorities correctly as seen in the PRPRI log, however the calculation is
incorrect.

The Payslip currently shows-

3010 Creditor- 277.46 (25% of Net disposable Income)

3020 Child Support- ( 15+15+57.70+30+92.08 = 209.78)

Ideally the system should deduct the child support amount first out of the 25% of Net disposable
amount and then take the remaining amount as the creditor deduction.

277.46 - 209.78= 67.68.

67.68 should be the creditor Deduction

Can you please guide me as to how i can correct the calculation logic. I believe there are
Garnishment rules which can help us achieve this. If you have any knowledge about these rules
kindly help me with the configuration.

Please note- These are Virginia Garnishments

Regards,

Pooja

There are several threads in SCN and other resources like SAP Help portal - where you can see
specifics for the country/state. I believe you need to research more before posting questions on
SCN; that is how many of us have learnt.

See links for example:
