R12.1.3 AP Module Rounding Difference during Withholding Tax Calculation

Question

Problem Summary:
Figures does not “round” While we make a payment for multiple withholding tax invoices in one go.
For eg
We pay Withholding Tax to a Tax Authority in one go @payment time.
In this scenario there are 3 invoices which needs to be paid through 1 payment.
When we make a payment for these 3 invoices the amount becomes 6515.52. This is a wrong figure. The figure should be rounded to 6516.
Invoice No Invoice Amount
INV1 5312
INV2 253.4
INV3 950.12
Total Payment Amount for these invoices i.e 1 Consolidated Payment which Oraclegenerates is 6,515.52 .
Expected behavior:
Instead of processing a payment of 6516, the system is generating a payment of 6515.52. which we don’t want.
We want system to generate a payment of 6516.
In order to arrive at the figure of 6516
Oracle says we have to customize AP_CUSTOM_WITHHOLDING_PKG....... in that package following SPECIAL ROUNDING SCRIPT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED.....
In order to get the following results; for instance;
eg----IF FIGURE for INV 1 IS ------ 100.51 MAKE IT  101
eg IF FIGURE FOR INV 2 IS --------100.50 MAKE IT    100
eg IF Figure FOR INV 3      is --------100.49 MAKE IT        100
Hence i found the following AP_SPECIAL_ROUNDING script................but needed to update to get the above results........pls help on how to update following AP_SPECIAL_ROUNDING script...........
procedure Ap_Special_Rounding (P_Checkrun_Name IN varchar2)
is
--l_org_id NUMBER(15); -- BUG 7232736

Hi.
As far as i concern your requirement should have a different explanation. Withholding Tax concerns retaining an amount to pay to the Tax Authority. At least this is the general concept, so the WT account must allways be credited, never debited.
