  The SAP error message ID_WT174 indicates that all invoices have reached a certain threshold for withholding tax, and it suggests that you should use an unexempted withholding tax rate. This error typically arises in the context of withholding tax processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with vendor invoices or payments that are subject to withholding tax regulations.
  Cause:
  
  
  Threshold Reached: The error occurs when the total amount of invoices for a particular vendor or transaction has reached the limit set for exempted withholding tax. This means that any further invoices or payments to this vendor will require the application of the standard withholding tax rate instead of an exempted rate.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of withholding tax codes or the vendor master data, which could lead to incorrect application of withholding tax rates.
  
  
  Vendor Master Data: The vendor may be set up incorrectly in the system, such as having the wrong withholding tax type or exemption status.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Invoices: Check the total amount of invoices processed for the vendor in question. If the threshold for exemption has been reached, you will need to apply the unexempted withholding tax rate for any further invoices.
  
  
  Adjust Vendor Master Data: Ensure that the vendor master data is correctly configured. This includes checking the withholding tax type assigned to the vendor and ensuring that it reflects the correct status regarding exemptions.
  
  
  Update Withholding Tax Configuration: If necessary, review the configuration of withholding tax codes in the SAP system. Ensure that the thresholds and rates are set correctly according to your organization's tax policies and local regulations.
  
  
  Consult Tax Regulations: If you are unsure about the withholding tax rates or exemptions, consult with your finance or tax department to ensure compliance with local tax laws.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like FK02 (Change Vendor) to update vendor information or OBW2 to maintain withholding tax types.
