Pay a Vendor and Issue the 2307
Last updated: 2026-06-06 Summary:
- The payment screen computes withholding from the ATC code and shows the net amount before you commit.
- eKapital suggests the ATC code from the vendor’s entity type and what the bill lines say you bought — review it, don’t just accept it.
- Form 2307 certificates are generated from the same posted payments, per vendor per quarter.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- A posted bill for the vendor — see Add a vendor and record a bill.
- A working idea of what ATC codes are — see Withholding tax & ATC codes.
Pay the bill
Section titled “Pay the bill”- Go to Accounts Payable → Pay Bills.
- Select the vendor, then tick the bills you’re paying.
- Review the suggested ATC code — eKapital proposes it from the vendor’s entity type and the bill’s line categories, with a per-line breakdown when one bill mixes goods and services. Override per line when a transaction is the exception.
- Check the computed withholding amount and the net payment — that net figure is what actually leaves your bank.
- If the vendor holds a BIR exemption, the payment applies it; the screen shows the exemption state before you confirm.
- Record the payment. The withheld amount posts to your withholding payable — it’s now money you owe the BIR, not the vendor.
Issue the Form 2307
Section titled “Issue the Form 2307”- Go to the Form 2307 page under your BIR forms.
- eKapital accumulates each vendor’s withholding across the quarter — per vendor, per ATC code — into one certificate.
- Generate the certificate and deliver it to the vendor. The standing practice is within 20 days after the quarter closes, or when the vendor asks.
Where people get tripped up
Section titled “Where people get tripped up”- Accepting the suggested code blindly. The suggestion is good, but the exception transaction is exactly when it’s wrong. The code follows the payment all the way to the alphalist — review it at payment time.
- One vendor, several codes. A vendor you pay for both goods and services gets certificate lines per code. That’s correct — don’t try to blend them into one line.
- Forgetting the remittance. Withholding doesn’t stop at the payment: what you withheld has to reach the BIR on its filing calendar. See the filing deadlines checklist.
