Garnishment orders require an ordered amount type that determines how the application calculates the garnishment. You select this in the Ordered Amount Type drop-down list in the Order Details section of a garnishment record for a Canadian employee.
Before You Begin: Make sure that you are familiar with the concepts described in Garnishment Order Details for Canadian Employees.
Note: Quick entries and check entries in the Payroll feature also include the Ordered Amount Type column that you can use to override the garnishment calculation method for a payment. See Garnishment Entries in the Payroll Feature.
