Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Use Migrate Your Data with object FI - Accounts payable open item and migrate supplier invoices (migration finishes successfully).
- Do not provide withholding tax data in the template’s "Withholding Tax Items" tab.
- Open the Post Outgoing Payments app and attempt to pay the migrated invoice.
- Observe error "No Withholding tax form type"(Message No. 8H004).
Cause
- Withholding tax-relevant invoices were migrated without the mandatory "Withholding Tax Items" data (for example: company code, reference document number, customer number, withholding tax type, withholding tax code) required to post and pay withholding tax-relevant items.
- The recipient type (Rec.Type / QSREC) might not be maintained in the supplier’s withholding tax configuration, preventing determination of a withholding tax form type during payment.
Resolution
- Before migration, verify the supplier’s withholding tax master data in Maintain Business Partner (role Supplier – Fin. Accounting) and ensure the recipient type (Rec.Type / QSREC) is maintained.
- In the migration template for FI - Accounts payable open item, populate the key fields in the "Withholding Tax Items" tab: company code, reference document number, customer number (as labeled in the template), withholding tax type, and withholding tax code.
