Vendor Invoices withholding tax CODE update after change WHT master data

[former_member436672]

Dear Gurus,

It is known the program RFWT0010 for updating WHT in vendor invoices after changing WHT TYPES in vendor master data.

But what about after TAX CODES? Many many years ago, here an ABAP Z program was developed for doing this:

1) Uncheck "liable" field on WHT vendor master data (trhu FK02) for the corresponding tax type, while changing tax code (i.e.: before -> tax type X1, tax code 01; now -> tax type X1, tax code 02)

2) Run RFWT0010 for updating WHT on vendor invoices (will delete tax type X1 info on invoices)

3) Check "liable" field for the same WHT (thru FK02)

4) Run RFWT0010 for updating WHT on vendor invoices (will populate wht on invoices with the new tax code)

So that is the workaround here have found to achieve. The job is well done as invoices now have the correct tax code and will be paid correctly.

Is that SAP has any standard solution for achieving this?

Thank you very much.

Finally, I submit an incident and the answer was that "is the normal behaviour". So the Z workaround will still be necessary...

from my point of view is RFWT0010 the SAP standard to resolve an unpleasant situation with withholding tax as you can even see in the documentation:

This link you share reflects my saying: always talks about tax TYPES, not tax CODES. My issue is with tax CODES: program RFWT0010 apparently does not consider when you change a tax code, so if you execute it after changing a tax code, nothing happens.

In fact, do this test: go to transaction FK02 and change a tax code. No message shown. Then, uncheck "liable" --> a relevant message is shown for your attention: "Postprocess open items after changing relevant withholding tax types".

Kind regards and thanks for the quick reply.
