Hi Farhad,

Could you paste the screen shot of the scenario here in this thread ?

I want to know if you have defined a Wtax code that its value is deducted from VAT in the A/P invoice.

Is it manual deduction or not ?

Hi,

For such error mssage, here is the solution from SAP Library help file:

10001013

Message

In “WTax Amount”, enter negative amount

Diagnosis

1. You have created a sales or purchasing document with a negative total, and you have chosen the Add button. The Withholding Tax Table window has appeared.
2. In the Withholding Tax Table window, in the WTax Amount field, you have entered a positive amount and have chosen the Update button.

Since the document total is negative, the amount of withholding tax due must also be negative.

Procedure

In the Withholding Tax Table window, in the WTax Amount field, enter a negative amount and choose the Update button.

Have you tried to apply the solution ?

yes I tried it, but firstly i dont understand why i have to put negative amount . here i am going to deduct this wtax amount from my Ap which already has the remain amount equal to calculated wtax

on the other hand i cannot change wtax amount , i can change the automatic to manual and put negative in the last fileds but agian i have same error

Hi,

I am afraid your downpayment is more than you should pay. That is the cause of the trouble. Tax should not be paid for downpayment.

Thanks,

we didnt calcuate any tax in downpayment , we just paid this amont .and In AP we want to apply and make BP balance =0

the VAT and wtax which mentioned in downpayment part applied in AP part not in downpayment

(VAT=2971.57

wtax from VAT=2228.68)

[Former Member]

When you pay the full amount for the AP, better pay to the account. Downpayment can only handle partial payment well.

[Former Member]

we already registered as a downpayment and now we want to reconcile them , is there any solution?

and other hand about paying on account, in AP we couldnt apply it in AP for decrease this amount

but we need deduct this amount from AP?!!

[Former Member]

By paying to the account, you only need reconcile it later. Then AP will be deducted.

[Former Member]

the problem is , we make paymet as a prepayment in other account as a BP prepayment account. not, directly in Account payable account

[Former Member]

In this case, you may need to reverse the transaction. Make sure downpayment amount should be less than the total for AP before tax.
