• Message text: Cust. &1: After changing rel. withholding tax types, reprocess open items

What causes this issue?

You have made changes and possibly changed the quantity of relevant
withholding tax types.
A withholding tax type is relevant under the following conditions:
The withholding tax type is entered in the master record of the business
partner and defined as subject to withholding tax (vendor) or entitled
to deduct withholding tax (customer).
For this withholding tax type, the company code is defined as entitled
to deduct withholding tax for vendors, and subject to withholding tax
for customers.
The posting date is within the validity period for the deduction
authorization (customer master record or withholding tax data for the
company code).

System Response

If you have changed the quantity of relevant withholding tax types, the
system cannot activate and clear the open items that were posted before
the change. The reason for this is the inconsistencies between
withholding tax information of the open items and information in the
company code or in the master data.
In the document display in the withholding tax dialog box, the system
provides the following information about the validity of the withholding
tax:
New withholding tax type
Another relevant withholding tax type has been added after document
entry
Withholding tax type no longer relevant
One less relevant withholding tax type exists after document entry.

How to fix this error?

After you have changed the relevant withholding tax types, perform the
following steps:
Adjust the open items to the withholding tax types that are currently
relevant.
Generate new withholding tax information for new withholding tax types.
Delete the withholding tax code in the existing withholding tax
information for withholding tax types that are no longer relevant.
Program RFWT0010 supports you when adjusting the withholding tax
information to the relevant types.
Start program RFWT0010 after changing the relevant withholding tax
