Why is the BUSY Software failing to automatically calculate TDS on Bill Sundry expenses such as Freight Charges, Services Charges, etc., during the entry of a purchase voucher in the Transactions?

While doing purchase entry (under Transaction Menu), only one TDS will be applicable i.e. TDS on purchase under 194Q or TDS on expense will be applicable (BUSY Software Limitation)
In BUSY we have a limitation that TDS can be deducted on Items listed while creating a purchase voucher. It can calculate TDS on Item’s total amount. If a user still wants to deduct TDS on Bill Sundry expenses also he needs to post the Bill Sundry Expenses as a separate voucher entry under Transaction->Journal and deduct TDS over there.
