Auto Apply Withholding Tax Marks All Bill Lines and Requires WH Tax Code for Non-WHT Vendors
We are using the Withholding Tax SuiteApp (Bundle 47459) in NetSuite with:
- Tax Point = On Payment
- Auto Apply Withholding Tax = Enabled
- Applies To = Total Amount
Issue:
When a Vendor Bill is created, the field “Apply WH Tax?” is automatically checked on all bill lines, even for vendors that do not have any WH Tax Code assigned on the vendor record.
Because “Apply WH Tax?” is checked, NetSuite then requires a WH Tax Code to be entered before the bill can be saved.
For non-WHT vendors, users must manually uncheck “Apply WH Tax?” on every line to save the bill.
If we disable “Auto Apply Withholding Tax”, then users often forget to manually check “Apply WH Tax?” for vendors that do require WHT, and therefore the “Tax Point = On Payment” process does not work.
