How are garnishments and Arrears handled?
A5. Garnishments do not follow the same Arrears principles as other deductions. The arrears functionality for garnishments only refers to deductions within a particular month. If the total amount of a garnishment cannot be taken for the month, the remaining amount does not carry forward to the next month. The values for Arrears processing are set in table T51P6 and for all garnishment wage types, the value for Arrears should be a ‘4’ and the Retro column should be blank in this table.(Please see Note 338841.
