Description
This report enables you to change the status of a garnishment from'Pending' to 'Active'. A batch input session is created that sets therequired status for all of the selected garnishments on the datespecified in the Activate with Begin Date field in the selectionscreen. If you leave this field empty the system will use the currentdate as the activation date.
Use the field Category to be included to select the category(ies)of garnishments that you want to consider. For example, if you want tochange the status from 'Pending' to 'Active' for Creditor garnishments,you would consider only all existing Creditor garnishments. If you donot specify any categories, all garnishments are selected for furtherconsideration.
Only garnishments that have status 'Pending' or 'Active' and that belongthe specified categories are chosen to be in the list.
A garnishment in the list that meets the following criteria is flaggedto be activated if:

• No garnishment in the list has the status 'Active',


• It has status 'Pending', and


• It has the highest priority, and earliest Date received of all
garnishments in the list.
There are two ways to start this report. If you have not set a flag forthe field 'Run as batch processing', a list is created of all selectedgarnishments, and the default garnishments are flagged (using the abovealgorithm). You can choose to reject these defaults or set flags forother garnishments that were not proposed by the system. To choose othergarnishments that were not proposed by the system, cross the 'C'checkboxes, to reject the proposed ones, unmark the 'C' checkboxes.
If you have set a flag for the field 'Run as batch processing', a listis not created. Instead, a batch input session is created immediately.Only the garnishments proposed by the system are used.
You can process the batch input session via the menu path System ->Services -> Batch input -> Sessions.
