Applying Withholding to First Payment Only

In cases in which you have scheduled multiple payments for a voucher for a withholding supplier, you can apply the entire withholding amount to the first payment. When you do this, the system checks the total basis amount for the voucher when the first payment is being issued. It then checks that the first installment amount is greater than the total withholding amount for the voucher. If the first installment amount is greater, the system withholds the total withholding; if it is not, the system creates an exception and rejects the transaction. Make a correction at the voucher level and reschedule at a later time.

You can specify this option on the Withholding Entity page by selecting the Appl. 1st Pmnt (apply first payment) option. This information is stored on the WTHD_CATEGORY table.
