All generated deductions include the input values Additional Amount and Replacement Amount, for efficient management of one-time changes to the deduction amount.
Note: Oracle Payroll automatically stops issuing wage attachments from wages when the total owed is reached, regardless of whether a court-issued notice is received.
When you initiate wage attachments, the system generates elements with associated input values. You can use these input values to keep accurate records of the employees wage attachment. The following table lists the input value names and describes the purpose they serve.
