Hi Ruksana

With EHP-4 & above in ECC 6.0 on activation of component  log_mmfi_p2p

You will have additional downpayment/retention TAB in Purchase Order, where it will ask you for the percentage to be retained on the invoice. Also you have to mention whether it is on PO header or line item level.

Then at the time of Invoice. The system will automatically deduct 10% & post it to the Retention special GL provided. Just like the JV you have given..

Additionally downpayment for line item level will also be present in the Invoice tab at the Item Detail of PO.

Dear Ruksana,

are You talking about Withholding tax? if Yes, please refer to SAP note 1551206.

If not, please give a longer issue description: what's retention?

thanks.

Dear Mauri,

Please see below explaination.

For ex:

Invoice is of Rs.10000

Retention is of 10%

Entry should be:

Expenses A/c.. Dr 10000

   To Vendor a/c 9000

   To Vendor Retention (with special GL for retention) 1000

Dear Ruksana,

You speak about retention at 10% and It seems to be aTDS or a withholding tax retention; but then You speak about a special G/L indicator that is used by Down payment bill of exchange, payment request and so on...

Therefore You should be so gentle to give us more details of what You're doing and which kind of business process You need to cover.

Dear Ruksana,

EHP5 is a Technical word speak your basis Persons,To active Retention Process EHP4 or above will be in ECC6.0 Version.when Invoice made against Vendor system automatically holds 10%,... amount and blocks that till the period given in config.

If EHP4 or above not activated in your system make a spl GL indicator.

Hope it will help .
