To maintain withholding tax reporting output groups, in Customizing for Financial Accounting choose Financial Accounting Global Settings
® Withholding Tax ® Extended Withholding Tax ® Generic Withholding Tax Reporting ® Define Output Groups.SAP delivers the following output groups for each of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) withholding tax forms:
Form |
Output group |
1601 |
PH1 |
2307 |
PH2 |
1604 |
PH3 (alphalist 3) PH4 (alphalist 4) PH5 (alphalist 5) |
Depending on your company's method of accounting, you configure the above output groups as follows:
Time of withholding tax posting |
Entry in the Reported doc. field for the withholding tax reporting output group listed in the above table |
Invoice entry (accrual basis) |
Vendor invoices, credit memos, and open down payments |
Payment posting (cash basis) |
Vendor payments (down, partial, and clearing payments) |

If you choose Vendor documents (according to W.T. posting time) as the reported document, then when you execute the withholding tax reports, the system checks for both invoices and payments, which detracts from system performance. For this reason, we recommend that you select only one of the above settings.
