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).
If the relevant withholding tax types with posting on payment are different on the invoice posting date and the payment posting date, this leads to the following problem when activating open items:
- For a manual payment, the open item cannot be activated. Message F5 787 (item(s) not activated due to inconsistent withholding tax information).
- For automatic payment, message 7Q 328 is issued (withholding tax information of the item is not consistent with master record/company code).
The SAP message appears because the entries contained in table WITH_ITEM do not correspond to the relevant withholding tax types for the posting date (of the payment).
If the relevant withholding tax types with posting at the time of the invoice are different on the parking date and the posting date of the parked document, this leads to the following SAP problem when posting the parked document:
No data exists for screen SAPLFWTD 100 or the subsequent screen :
A SAP message appears stating that no entry exists in table T059Z, or an incorrect withholding tax code has been used when posting the parked document.
This report adjusts open and cleared items that already exist in the SAP system to change to the relevant withholding tax types so that the the items can then be activated.
An adjustment can only be made for withholding tax types with payment on invoice for parked documents, since the invoice entry transaction for open item has already been completed.
The update run for this WHT report should, if possible, be started when no postings are being made. Make sure that for the company code for which the changes are to be made, no documents are changed or posted. Otherwise, the report may not be able to process all SAP documents (and would have to be started again).
