3402688 - The withholding tax is not shown in the journal entry of the payment - nonlocalized Countries/Regions

Your supplier invoice has more than one withholding tax included on it, however, when you check the Journal entry of the payment, you notice the taxes are not included.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Supplier Invoicing Work Center > Invoices and Credit Memos
2. Search for your Supplier Invoice and open it
3. Go to the Document Flow tab
4. Open the Journal entry of the Payment Order
5. You notice that the withholding taxes are not included in the Journal Entry

During the configuration of the Withholding tax, the system offers two possibilities:  "WHT due at invoice and not relevant for down payment" or "WHT due at payment and relevant for down payment", depending on the country specific requirements. See page 16 of the documentation.

If you are using the option "WHT due at payment and relevant for down payment", there is a system limitation that does not support multiple Taxes.
Due to this limitation, the system does not show the values of the Withholding taxes in the Journal Entry of the payment document.

It is a known limitation in the SAP Business ByDesign system and there is already an Improvement Request in the Influence Channel for this topic. See below, please:
