Recurring Entry not keeping Withholding Tax Code Change

228 Views

Hi Experts,

I need your help, please. We are on ERP 6.0 SP 13 and I have an issue in Production where we are withholding tax when we should not be.

The issue is:

When the Recuring Payable is entered (FBD1) for a vendor that has a Withholding Tax Code stored in its vendor master, we are not able to "change" the recurring payable document to NOT pick up the Withholding Tax code when the Invoice is created. For example, we'd just like to enter $0.00 amounts into both W/Tax Base and W/Tax Amount fields and that would solve the issue of us withholding when we should not be.

Constraints:

We can't change the Vendor Master record because in other instances, the WT does apply and we don't want to create a duplicate vendor master record - one without the WT in it.

After sending an OSS message to SAP, they clarified that note: 971202 is the reason we are having this issue. So even though at the time of the data entry of FBD1 when we put the $0.00 amounts in the WT fields, this note does not "keep" our data entry in those fields. We were told this is the correct system behavior.

So is it feasible to just pull out the note? Or is there a user exit that anyone can suggest that we can use?

Steps to recreate issue:

1. Create Vendor that has WT - try a 1042s . (XK01)

2. Enter recurring payable document (FBD1), but put a $0.00 in both W/Tax Base and W/Tax Amount fields.

3. Run F.14 to run settlement. Run SM35 to run job created by F.14.

4. Go to FBL1n to view that the $0.00 amounts did not transfer.

5. When F110 is run, a withholding will be taken.

Note: Yes, if we take the time in FBl1n to enter the $0.00 amounts AGAIN on the invoice document BEFORE we run the payment program, that is one resolution, but that is not always feasible for the business to do.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
