Withholding tax dimension error in Payment Journal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I'm getting this "You must select a value in <dimension> field in combination with the following dimension values that are valid" for my withholding tax account when posting a payment journal.

System is not getting any dimension for the withholding tax entry. I've checked all the account structure and the journal dimension and it is fine. There is also no advanced rule structure nor customization in payment posting.

As per main account structure of the WHT account, we don't fixed any dimension value as it should come from the transaction. Only few vendors has this kind of error, other payments with wht proceeds on posting.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion regarding this issue.

    Hi Kvidal,

    Many thanks for this update.

    You mentioned that only some vendors are affected but others not.

    I would recommend that you check them and test it in a demo environment first.

    Just post some invoices and payments for those that always make trouble and then for those vendors that don't.

    Once you have such a good&bad pair you have to compare the vendors and transactions completely in detail.

    There must be a difference that causes the trouble.

    Best regards

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thanks for all the replies.
    Yes, what we were doing in the past was just temporarily fix the dimension to the account but we cannot do this everytime we post a payment journal.
    Vendor has no cash discount and for tax, all invoices has related withholding tax that they add only upon payment.

    Hi Kvidal,

    Unfortunately,  there is no warning or error that gives you the exact line where this occurred.

    In the past I often experienced that cash discount and related tax postings are the underlying reason. Can you check whether this vendor also has a cash discount associated?

    A quick fix is temporarily fixing the financial dimensions for account that causes the trouble. This is, however only a short term solution and need a subsequent investigation to avoid the issue in the future.

    Best regards

    Hi Ludwig,

    I already have identified the erroneous line from the payment journal and transfer it to another journal.

    However, error comes from one of the invoices settled on this payment journal. Same error when posting, and cannot identify which among the number of invoices has the problem.

    Thanks & Regards,

    KVidal

    Hi KVidal,

    Do you have the post and transfer option available for this journal that posts all lines that are ok and transfers those with errors to a new journal?

    If this is available in your journal then this would be an option to identify the errorenous lines.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank you for the quick response.

    It is always coming from same vendor. Vendor setup looks fine. And invoices settled on this are from PO invoice type.

    My problem is there are hundred of invoices settled on this payment line and as per error message there is only few invoice among them causing it. I think i need to pinpoint these invoices having error and investigate from that.

    Do you know some way to point these invoices? In the error message it shows temporary payment voucher number sequence assigning in each invoice but don't know how i can link this to which invoice?

    Thank you.

    Hello KVidal,

    Can you find a 'common denominator' of the payments that cause the trouble?

    You mentioned that some payments work but others not.

    I assume that the ones that don't work are possibly related to the same vendor, invoice type (expense vs. PO invoice), same employee who recorded the invoices, etc.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
