Use

The base amount for calculating withholding tax in Thailand is the payment amount less value-added tax and cash discount. This also applies to any partial payments that you make.

When you use the standard SAP payment functions to make a partial payment, they are not able to take any cash discount into account unless you first enter a payment request.

Activities

When you want to enter a partial payment, you must first enter a payment request for the amount that you want to pay. In the standard system, you use the standard special G/L transaction type for partial payments, P.

Then enter the outgoing payment for the payment request (using the automatic payments program or manually), specifying the special G/L transaction type on the selection screen.

Example

Assume you have an invoice for THB 10,000 and you want to pay THB 1,000, less a cash discount of 3% (THB 30) and withholding tax at 10%:
