Why APPLY TDS is ticked by default in purchase order/invoice items

ERPNext
1

Consider i dont have and i dont use any taxes, I go to purchase order/invoice and enter the supplier then enter the items, when i click on any item to see the details i note that there is a checkbox called “APPLY TDS” which is by default checked. so my questions are

  1. does it make any difference if i tick it or not?
  2. if it makes any difference i dont want it and where can i disable it, because i want to completely hide it and avoid its impact.

Having the same questions. It is very annoying to have to uncheck “Apply TDS” in every line of every purchase order.

So the OP questions are very important for people using ERP outside India.
1- Can we disable this by default?
2- What is the effect of leaving it checked if TDS is not setup (No “Tax Withholding Categories” defined)?

Nobody bothers to answer our question regarding tds

Check your “Supplier” Master you may have added a Tax Withholding Category. If not, then you may use Customize form to change the default value to 0 for the field.

Thank you Pawan, I was able to change the default behavior by using the Customize form.
Steps:
1- Go to Buying >> Purchase Invoice (list)
2- Select “Customize” from Menu (…) / or keyboard shortcut to “Customize” Ctrl+J. This will open Purchase Invoice form customization page.
3- Press “customize child table” and select “Purchase Invoice Item” from the drop-down list. This will open the Purchase Invoice Item customization page.
4- Scroll down until you find the rate related section (6th section in my case), which includes the “Apply TDS” option.
5- Click on “Apply TDS”, this will open an edit panel where you can change the default value from “1” to “0”.
6- Press “Update” button to save changes.

Thanks again to Pawan for pointing to the right direction to fix this.
