Symptom
Import Supplier Invoice template does not include fields for Tax Amount, Withholding Tax Code, and Withholding Tax Amount. As a result, users are unable to import supplier invoices with tax information that fully reflects the original vendor documents.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
Cause
System design.
Resolution
Withholding Tax fields are not available as input fields is not necessary, because the system automatically derives WHT type and code from "Central Business Configuration or Manage Your Solution" tied to your Supplier/Vendor master data.
Ensure that following Withholding Tax configuration are already in place before uploading invoices:
- Extended Withholding Tax is activated for the relevant company code (via Activate Extended Withholding Tax in SAP Central Business Configuration).
- WHT Type and WHT Code are defined and assigned to the company code.
- WHT Type and Code are assigned to the relevant supplier in the supplier master record.
After upload, invoices land in Draft status; users can open each draft invoice and navigate to the Withholding Tax section to review or adjust the WHT calculation mode (Automatic / Manual Tax Base / Manual Tax Base and Amount) before posting.
Tax Code, Tax Jurisdiction, and Tax Determination Date are present in the standard template but are hidden by default — they must be manually unhidden in the Excel template before use.
