Thank you, can you please confirm this part:

Specify the maximum percentage of the payment that can be deducted. Normally, the second Ledger would be negative, representing the debt owed by the payer. So when that amount reaches 0 (zero), the Garnish Order will stop deducting money from payment

pretty self explanatory

Do I set up a ledger, where all the vending amounts will go into?

if you want to

I take it, this is not a debt they are paying back?

No it's not

So typically, there are for example municipal by-laws that says you can take some of the guys prepaid electricity payment to pay other debts (Cape Town). This functionality was specifically geared towards that. But you can use it for other things.

Okay I will set up one to test

A test garnish order has been set up, therefore 2 x ledgers.

A top up was made but on the other ledger there is nothing?

(pls remember to give more details on an actual support call)

try to pay money into the other account? Or try to deduct money from the destination account first to make it negative.

did you tick the checkbox? I see the one you didn't pay in to is zero, so he 'doesn't owe any money'

Where is the check box

on the add dialog box window

it says to always deduct, not just when owing

if you didn't check that box, it will only garnish if the second ledger is NEGATIVE
