SAP Withholding Tax Information
Extended withholding tax is active in your company code (field: T001-WT_NEWWT is set) and you have open vendor or customer items in your SAP system.
The “relevant withholding tax types” change, for example, as a result of legal changes. A withholding tax type is relevant if the following conditions apply:
- The withholding tax type is entered in the SAP master record of the business partner and indicated as subject to withholding tax (vendor) or authorized to deduct tax (customer).
- The company code is indicated as authorized to deduct tax for vendors or as subject to withholding tax for customers for this withholding tax type (withholding tax data for company code: View V_T001WT)
- The posting date is in the validity period for the deduction authorization (customer master record or withholding tax data for company code).

Error: F5787 w/ activation of residual items and extended WT
There are some SAP FI problem when activating residual items and extended withholding tax function in SAP system.
If you use the extended withholding tax function in your company code and post a residual item in SAP system. When clearing the residual item, the SAP system issues message
F5787 “& items have not been activated due to inconsistent withholding tax info“.
In the original SAP invoice document no withholding tax code was defined. During the creation of the residual item the system did not generate any entry in SAP table WITH_ITEM for this withholding tax type without withholding tax codes. When activating the residual item, the system reports an inconsistency. This SAP problem occurs if you implement SAP Note 488133.
