- Select All Tax Returns.
- Search for the Tax Return ID that was created.
- Click View All > Release > Save.
- Click Download in the Attachments tab.
- You will see that there is no file to download.
Cause
You have to check if the supplier names are of length 30 characters or more and hence, they are being rejected by the system. There's a system constraint that does not allow suppliers of character length 30 or more.
You can check the information in the below steps:
- Go to the Tax Management work center.
- Go to the Tax Returns view.
- Go to Withholding Tax Returns.
- Select All Tax Returns.
- Search for the Tax Return ID that was created.
- Go to Tax Return tab.
- You will see the details under Supplier column.
Resolution
You have to rename the suppliers with a reduced length name and reschedule the run.
