Reproducing the Issue
- Enter App Manage Automatic Payments.
- Create and schedule payment proposal or run.
- It returns to error and in Exception the error is: 051 (Item cannot be paid: Error in withholding tax calculation).
Cause
Withholding tax data is calculated incorrectly for vendor line items. There is a mismatch between vendor withholding tax data in BP master (under Company Code Data) and calculated withholding tax in the documents. Consequently, when you attempt to make a payment, an inconsistency error is triggered.
Resolution
Correct the related documents for consistent posting so that when running Manage Automatic Payments App again, withholding tax could be calculated based on the system configuration.
