1. Go to Payables work center.
2. Select the Supplier Accounts view.
3. Search for the supplier for which the invoice was posted.
4. Click on View.
5. Go to Trade Payables tab and Invoice/Payments Sub tab.
6. Search for the invoice.
7. Click on Pay Manually By and select the relevant payment method.
8. In the Open Items - grid, you will find the column for Withholding Tax Amount.
9. When you select the invoice, Withholding Tax Amount is 0,00 and does not show the value as displayed in the invoice.

This results in different value for the payment than the invoice.

Depending on the country, it is a legal requirement to have withholding tax due at the invoicing and not relevant for the down payments /payments.

Hence at invoice level, withholding tax will be calculated and posted in the supplier invoice's journal entry. Since withholding tax is accounted at invoice level, it does not calculate again at payment level.

This is the expected system behavior. For some countries, withholding tax is relevant/posted at invoice level and for other countries it is relevant/posted at payment level.

In any case, the following formula should be consistent: Open Amount = Total Gross Amount - Withholding Tax Amount
