Understanding Automatic Payments with Supplier Withholding

After you create vouchers for payment, you can run the automatic payment process to pay the vouchers. The automatic payment process consists of creating, writing, and updating payment groups. When you run the automatic payment process for Mexican vouchers, the system uses Mexico-specific programming to determine whether value-added tax (VAT) and income withholding applies to the vouchers, and prints a report that includes the withholding information that applies to the vouchers that you process. The system also prints two copies of the withholding certificate for payments that include withholding.

When you process vouchers for payments, the system saves the withholding concepts and basic voucher information, such as the pay item and document type, to these temporary standard and Mexico-specific tables while you process the payments:

• A/P Payment Processing - Header (F04571)

• A/P Payment Processing - Summary (F04572)

• A/P Payment Processing - Detail (F04573)

• A/P Header Withholding Summary - MEX (F76M572)

• PCG Detail Withholding Amounts - MEX (F76M573)

When you complete the payment process, the system writes the payment and withholding data to these standard and Mexico-specific tables:

• Accounts Payment Ledger (F0411)

• Accounts Payable - Matching Document (F0413)

• Accounts Payable Matching Document Detail (F0414)

• Accounts Payable Header Additional Details (F76M413)

• A/P Matching Detail Withholding Information - MEX (F76M414)
