Amend a Support Order (USA)

Amend a Support Order (USA)

A support order exists for the employee in Workday and you receive an official amended support order from the agency.
Security:
Worker Data: Payroll (Income Withholding Orders) - USA
 domain in USA Payroll functional area.
Editing a support order and amending a support order are 2 different things. You only amend a support order when you receive an amended order from the agency. When you enter the amended support order details with different dates, Workday automatically inactivates the original order. Workday retains the original order for tracking purposes and creates a new record for the amended order.
Dates on amended orders can't be the same as the dates on the original order. Entering the original dates causes calculation errors.
If you need to make a correction, edit the support order instead of amending it. To edit the original support order record, select the related action on the order
