    SAP delivers the output group ID, used with process type STD. It reads withholding tax items from all vendor documents, and it specifies that Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) format tree IDWTFILE_ID_01 (tree type WTRE) is to be used to generate the flat DME file that is needed to later prepare the withholding tax return to submit to the tax office.
