Summary :
When using Extended Withholding Tax in SAP and processing a cross-company-code document via Transaction FB05, the system may generate an error (7Q601) if the document type used requires external document numbers for both companies involved. This error occurs due to a system malfunction where WITH_ITEM-BELNR field is left blank, affecting correct data storage for withholding tax during document clearing. To resolve, verify relevance with note 580618, adjust function module 'FI_WT_PREPARE_PAYMENT' in SE37, implement suggested code corrections, and run provided report 'Z_RFWT0570' to delete redundant withholding tax entries.

Key words :
