Activating Extended WHT 3 years after company went live

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have one query as my client is having a requirement that they want to assign new WHT Types to the existing company codes, but I have doubt how it will impact the historical data that has already been posted.

Some related points:

• WHT is applicable at vendor Payment posting.
• These additional company codes(For those WHT type has to assign) are already live since 2010.
• If I'll give obligated from date while assigning WHT Type to Company code whether it will have any impact on historical data.
• If I will give the obligated from date as 01/01/2015 how can I convert the already posted data as WHT applicable. Do I have to use program RFWT0020 or RFWT0010.

Hi Mukhthar,

Thanks for the reply..

I am aware that we can assign tax type to existing company code but my question is what impact will it have on the data that has already been posted if I give the obligated date from say 01/01/2007(Go live date of company code) or if I'll give 01/01/2015(Current fiscal year).

And as far as I know RFWT0010 program is for WHT at open items where as we have it at payment level.

Correct me if my understanding is wrong about RFWT0010 Program.

Hi Amit,

Yes, you can assign it to existing co.codes. After assign it, you have to add these w.h.tax types to the vendor master records, if there are liable to deduct the tax. After add in it, then you have to run the program RFWT0010 for the vendors. These program will update withholding tax details for already posted items for the vendors.

If you give obligate date from 01.01.2015, then there is no harm. System will deduct the tax for the posting after you move the changes.
