SAP Note 499902 - SAPF124/E: No clearing of documents with withholding tax

Component : Posting/Clearing - Withholding Tax (Calculation)

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/499902 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note addresses issues when using the clearing programs SAPF124 or SAPF124E, specifically for documents involving withholding tax. The affected transactions FB1K and FB1D do not compute withholding tax during the clearing process, which leads to incorrect financial postings when clearing documents like vendor invoices and credit memos with withholding tax. To resolve this, the note advises calculating withholding tax separately before clearing such documents, and explicitly recommends using payment transactions for this purpose. Manual interventions in FB1K are suggested only when a pure clearing, with zero balance, is necessary in specific cases such as reversals from Material Management.
