Adjusting Withhold Amount
Let's assume that outstanding against a Sales Invoice is 20,000. When a client makes payment, they will only pay 19,600. Rest 400 needs to be booked under tax withhold account. You can manage this scenario as described below.
Step 1: Setup Withhold Account
Create a Withhold Account in your Chart of Accounts.
Step 2: Payment Entry
To create a Payment Entry, go to unpaid Sales Invoice and click on the Make Payment button.
Step 2.1: Enter Payment Amount
Enter Payment Amount as 19,600.
Step 2.2: Allocate Against Sales Invoice
Against Sales Invoice, allocate 20,000.
Step 2.3: Add Deduction/Loss Account
You can notice that there is a difference of 400 in the Payment Amount and the Amount Allocated against Sales Invoice. You can book this difference account under Withhold Account.
Following the same steps, you can also manage differences availed due to Currency Exchange Gain/Loss.
