A distraint order may specify a maximum limit for distraint, for which the settings of the "Distraint" salary type in Netvisor's salary model must be edited. For the maximum limit of distraint, two new salary types must be created, one with a fixed limit = "Distraint upper limit" and a salary type with a conditional statement = "Distraint at limit".

Add distraint at limit salary type to the formula of to be paid salary type
The new salary type "Distraint at limit" will replace the old "Distraint" salary type and will be added to the formula of the "To be paid" salary type. The to be paid salary type is specific to the salary model, so please make the necessary changes to each salary model to ensure the distraint deduction works correctly and as desired. In the future, the salary type "Distraint at limit" will be used in payroll and payslip, which can have either a normal distraint or a distraint upper limit as its value.
Payroll > Payroll > Salary model management > Formulas
Salary type formulas tab > click the Edit icon from the row of the to be paid salary type
Add "Distraint at limit" to the formula of the to be paid salary type as shown in the image below.
Once the salary type Distraint at limit is linked to the formula of the to be paid salary type in the desired salary model, a formula can be given to the salary type.
Payroll > Payroll > Salary model management > Formulas > Salary type formulas tab > Deductions > Distraint at limit > Edit
The conditional statement is set as follows:
Conditional statement: If distraint (salary type that calculates the euro value of distraint on the payslip) is less than the distraint upper limit (150 euros).
If the value is true, then the payslip will show distraint according to the conditional statement, which calculates distraint according to the settlement point.
If the value is false, the payslip will show the distraint upper limit of 150 euros from the salary type. 
Setting a fixed limit in employee salary basis
Set the distraint upper limit in the employee's salary basis.
Payroll > Personnel > Salary basis management
If another employee also has distraint, but no upper limit, set, for example, 999999 in the distraint upper limit column in their salary basis.
Formatting the salary model
Edit the formatting of the salary model to place the deducting salary types in the correct position and hide "Distraint upper limit" from view by removing the selection from "Visible".
Payroll > Payroll > Salary model management > Salary model name > Formatting tab
The formula built for distraint looks like this:
Removing distraint salary type from the formula of to be paid salary type 
Please also remove the accounting debit and credit accounts and income type allocation from the salary type "Distraint" in the salary type settings. The allocations and income type allocation are left only for the "Distraint at limit" salary type, which will be used in the future for withholding distraint in payroll.
Settlement point settings
Edit the settlement points to set the company's share to be settled based on "Distraint at limit", so that the value of the deducting salary type is obtained in the settlement on the payslip. The share to be settled is defined in the settlement point settings under "Deducting salary type on payslip".
Example
No distraint upper limit example:
(examples show all salary types created for distraint)
An upper limit is defined, distraint would have been €517.29, but the program only deducts €150.00:
On the payroll voucher, only "Distraint at limit" is allocated, which can be either distraint or distraint limit.
