Understanding the Withholding Certificate for Contractor Services

You must give to your contractor a certificate that states the withholding that you deducted from the payment made to the contractor. If your contractor is a temporary enterprise union (UTE), you must give each member of the UTE a certificate. The system prints a separate certificate for each UTE member.

The withholding certificate includes this information:

• Emission date (payment date).

• Name, address, and fiscal ID of the company.

  The system retrieves this information from the company's address book record.

• Certificate number.

  The system writes the internal document number from the Accounts Payable Ledger table (data item RPDOC) as the certificate number.

• Name, address, and fiscal ID of the supplier.

  The system retrieves this information from the supplier's address book record.

• Payment number from the payment that originated the withholding.

• Legal document type and number.

  The system prints the supplier's invoice number and type on the certificate.

• Payment information.

  The system prints the payment amount that is subject to withholding, the percentage applied to the amount, the withholding amount, and the description of the withholding concept.

• Given name, surname, and title of the legal representative.

  You specify the address book record number of the legal representative in a processing option in the PO - PCG process -ARG program (P76A570) for certificates that the system prints during the Update process in the automatic payment process, and in a processing option in the Contract WH Certificate program (R7604851A) for certificates that you print manually.

When you print a certificate for a withholding adjustment, the system retrieves the original withholding amount and adds it to the adjustment withholding amount. The system prints the certificate with the result of the adjustment. For example, if the original withholding amount is ARS 100, and the adjustment is ARS -10, the system prints the certificate as ARS 90. The new certificate has a different certificate number than the original certificate.

The system automatically runs the Contract Withholding Certificate (R760485A) as part of the Update process in the automatic payment process. You can manually run the Contract WH Certificate program (R7604851A) to print a certificate for manual payments, and to reprint certificates.
