Working With Withholding Certificates Legal Numbers

When you work with RG 3726 withholdings, the system generates a draft certificate when you process a payment with the applicable withholdings. To obtain the legal certificate, you must submit the RG 3726 flat files that the system generates to the fiscal authorities. You submit the information using the government-provided web application SIRE. The SIRE application generates the legal certificate and provides a 25-digit certificate legal number in return for each certificate record.

You use the Withholding Certificates Legal Number Maintenance program (P76A001) to associate the information in the legal certificate, which the authorities generate for your submitted withholdings, to the records generated by the system. When you enter the associations, you must update the certificate legal number, the certificate issue date, the withholding amount, and the status of the legal certificate.

The program lists the records for all the certificates processed by the system: Drafts that have not been associated to a legal number yet, certificates with a legal number associated, and replaced certificates.

You can update a single record manually or update multiple records simultaneously by copying and pasting information from a file.
