Provide hook points handle custom requirements for third party deduction processing

In EDSC the Garnishment Orders recorded does have outstanding balance similar to Curam Liabilities. As part of third party deduction processing, we need to reduce the outstanding balance on garnishment order so that if no outstanding balance is available then we should skip the deduction FC from creating a deduction ILI.
To address this we need pre and post processing hooks for MaintainInstructionLineItem.createThirdPartyDeductionILIs() method. The pre-processing hook should allow customers to set a new FCAmount. The post processing hook should allow us reduce our outstanding balance when there is a deduction ILI created (with input parameters as CaseDeductionItemDtls, FCAmount)

    Hi Benoit

    We have reviewed your enhancement suggestion. Based on the information provided and discussions with Lab Services staff, our understanding of your request is as follows:

    You are requesting an enhancement to provide pre and post processing hook points for the MaintainInstructionLineItem.createThirdPartyDeductionILIs() method in order to support custom processing such as setting new FCAmounts to reflect recalculated amounts for deductions and reducing outstanding balances on custom entities that store financial information similar to SPM liabilities.

    The theme is aligned with our current strategy for our product to continue to provide extension points that enable compliant customization of financials processing and we have accepted your suggestion as a consideration for a future release.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas with us. We are committed to involving our users in building our product roadmap and appreciate your suggestions.

    Thank you,

    Sheryl Brenton, SPM Product Management Team

    Hi Benoit,

    In order to help us evaluate your request for pre and post processing hooks for the MaintainInstructionLineItem.createThirdPartyDeductionILIs() method, could you provide additional information related to your business scenario and the business requirements you are trying to meet, including how you are planning to make use of and customize deductions functionality.

    Also, is this request related to another request you raised to provide a CaseDeductionItem post insertion event, and is so how?
