Specify the pay cycle for which you want to review the withholding calculations and click run to run the Withholding Calculations report (APX7050). This report produces a listing of the calculations made during the specified pay cycle.

The PeopleSoft Payables calculation module calculates withholdings at voucher posting or at payment processing, depending on the withholding calculation setting on the withholding entity and the voucher.

The following diagram illustrates how the calculation model works (note that calculation for India is slightly different).

Withholding calculation process flow

When withholding is calculated at voucher post, the Voucher Posting process calls the Withhold Calculation Application Engine process (AP_WTHDCALC) to determine whether withholding vouchers exist. The Withhold Calculation process uses the payment hold option you define at the withholding entity or the supplier level, if specified, and the payment hold status on the original payment schedule of the voucher to determine if the scheduled payments should be placed on hold.

When withholding is calculated at payment post, and the payment is on hold, the payment is not selected or processed by the Withhold Calculation process.

This table provides various scenarios and expected results for the payment hold options:
