Opening Balance Error

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My client getting an error while posting payment in F-53 to clear the opening balance that <b>"1 items have not been activated due to inconsistent withholding tax info</b>". For other line items it was not showing any error. Only for opening balance it was not activating.

Regards,

Dear Prasad,

Kindly identify the vendor in the line item corresponding to the error and the withholding tax type intended in the document. <b>This error occurs when this tax type is not assigned to the vendor master.</b> Assign the correct withholding tax type and code in the master.

May be you can refer to the other vendor masters withholding section (vendors from the line items where the system dint throw this error) and create it in the same way for that withholding tax type in this vendor also.

Kindly let me know if it is useful.

Hmm...........i wont be able to tell u the immediate solution as I dont have access to SAP rite now. But I think u can try the following in the Test Server-

1. Create a vendor with Withholding tax code.

2. Enter an invoice and make sure that the withholding tax is deducted at invoice posting.

3. Now, change the Withholding tax code for the vendor. Obviously now when u try & clear the vendor line item, u shud get the same error.

4. Create a new vendor with the correct withholding tax codes.

5. Try & t/f the balance from the old to the new vendor.

Just see if this works & lemme know. I ll also try the same at my end.
