Formatting error with_item-wt_withcd in transaction code FBV0

Question

Hi,
When the user is posting the parked vendor invoice using transaction FBV0, there is an error message reported as
below: Message no. 00298 - Formatting error in the field WITH_ITEM-WT_WITHCD; see next message.
Even after executing the transaction RFBIPPG0, the above formatting error with withholding tax code field is not resolved.
As a solution for the problem, it is required to execute the note no. 709736 which resolves the formatting error.

Hi Maurizio
We are facing the error “Field WITH_ITEM-WT_WITHCD(5) does not exist in the screen SAPLFWTD 0100”. We are having an interface here for posting an Invoice document through T code FB01.
When we execute this in foreground we don’t get any error and when thesame is executed in background, we are getting the error “Field WITH_ITEM-WT_WITHCD(5) does not exist in the screen SAPLFWTD 0100”.
We have gone through various threads and found that the same is concerned with the number of withholding tax codes assigned to the vendor codes i.e. it should be limited to 4. If the same is more
than 4, the screen SAPLFWTD 0100 gives the above error. However we have the scenario where in more than 4 withholding tax codes will be assigned to a vendor code.
We also raised a OSS for the same, but the same being a Z development, we are net getting a satisfactory response from them.
Please provide the solution for the same.
Thanks & regards
Nitesh
