Withholding Tax Data u2013 Table WITH_ITEM not updated/no value

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have some accounting documents originated on MIRO that have withholding taxes, and they are not appearing on table with_item, but you can see on transaction FB03 that the taxes (withholding taxes) are correctly entered on accounting.

But if you click on button Withholding tax data (posting key 31), the following message occurs: u201CWithholding tax information missing from line itemu201D , message 7Q301.

Any ideas? Thanks on advance.

Kindly regards

Dear Victor,

what You're reporting is very strange. You say that the WT line item is existing into the FI Follow on document, but that the WT pop up, that should contain the WT data for the vendor line item, is not existing. usually the error message You get depends on the fact that the vendor reconciliation g/l account status field has the fields that refer to WT suppressed.

Please check and let me know.

I hope this helps You.

Hi Luiz,

The table WITH_ITEM is specific to extended withholding tax.

Could you please confirm checking in your system whether you are using extended withholding tax for your company code?

Have you made appropriate settings in IMG for the calculation at time of invoice? This should be done at:

Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Withholding Tax -> Extended Withholding Tax -> Calculation ->

Withholding Tax Type -> Define Withholding Tax Type for Invoice Posting

In order to ensure correct calculation of withholding tax, you have to make sure you have completed all the required steps in IMG for withholding tax. In particular:

1. Assign the w/h tax codes to each w/h tax type

2. Enter percentage in each w/h tax code

3. Set up the customizing for w/h tax calculation in invoice or payment

(you have to set up either options for your w/h tax types).

Please review the documentation on the Withholding tax calculation for additional information on the steps above.

Please also refer to note 363650, you will see the following information:

C) Change Rules for classical and extended withholding tax

If the withholding tax base amount should be changed after a docment has been paid already, the following steps are required:

For Classical Withholding Tax and only if the withholding tax amount is zero.

Change of withholding tax base amount or withholding tax code of a cleared invoice.

If the withholding tax base amount and/or the withholding tax code needs to be changed after an invoice has been cleared please follow steps;

If a withholding tax amount other than zero has been posted, you cannot change the values via transaction FB02.

Please also review the IMG documentation for transaction OB32 via

spro -> Financial accounting -> Financial accounting global settings -> Document -> Line item -> Document change rules, line item. Here you will see the following information:

Document Change Rules, Line Item

In this activity, you determine under which circumstances fields within posted documents can be changed.

Note

For a number of fields, the system itself determines that they can no longer be changed after posting. This includes all fields which are central to the principles of orderly accounting, for example, the amount posted and the account.

The system also prevents the update objects from being changed in documents which have already been posted, independent of the document change rules

Thus as you can see from the above description if an amount has been posted to the account you cannot change the fields despite entering in the field in OB32 as changable.

As you know, the important table concerning extended withholding tax is WITH_ITEM. This is where the data found through the button 'Withholding tax Information' in FB03 is held. This should be customized in the document change rules (transaction OB32) . You will also have to ensure that the posting keys in the document are set to optional (transaction ob41).

I would also to review note 546564 FAQ: Withholding tax

Use report RFWT0010 to correct inconsistent withholding tax information.

If the withholding tax code is for a rate other than zero precent, this report cannot be used.

I hope that this resolves your inquiry.

Best Regards,

Vanessa Barth.
