What causes this issue?

In the for-period &v4&, repayment differences were detected for the
garnishment (&v1&/&v2&). The for-period lies in the period of January to
March 2013, in which arrears payments were made based on a change of the
tax <LS>PAP</>. The difference of the garnishable amount, which
presumably led to the difference of the repayment, corresponds to the
amount of the net arrears payment and does not exceed the limit amount
specified in the report.
It can be assumed that the originally determined repayment amount in the
old cluster is correct.

System Response

cluster is necessary for this garnishment and for-period. The repayment
difference is ignored. The system outputs the message as an information
mesage and continues with the analysis. If no other errors occur, the
system assigns the status <LS>S02 OK</> to this case.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYDEPF289 - Garnishment &1/&2:Capping to guar. net amt &3, repayt diff. ignored in &4 ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYDEPF289 typically relates to garnishment processing in the payroll module of SAP HR (Human Resources). This error indicates that there is a capping issue with the garnishment amount, specifically that the garnishment is being capped to guarantee a net amount, and any repayment differences are being ignored.
  Cause:
  
  Capping Configuration: The garnishment is configured to ensure that the employee's net pay does not fall below a certain guaranteed amount. If the garnishment amount exceeds this cap, the system will adjust the garnishment to meet the guaranteed net amount.

  Data Issues: There may be issues with the employee's payroll data, such as incorrect amounts for garnishments or net pay guarantees.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Garnishment Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the garnishment in the SAP system. Ensure that the capping rules are set correctly and that they align with legal requirements and company policies.
  Adjust Guaranteed Net Amount: If necessary, adjust the guaranteed net amount to ensure that it is appropriate for the employee's situation and that it allows for the correct processing of garnishments.
  Check Payroll Data: Review the employee's payroll data for any discrepancies or errors that may be causing the issue. Ensure that all amounts are entered correctly and that there are no conflicting entries.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on garnishment processing and error resolution.
  Testing: After making adjustments, run a test payroll to ensure that the garnishment is processed correctly without triggering the error.
