Whether TDS will be applicable if a company (suppose "A") makes an advance payment to another company (say "B") for procurement of materials ?

The situation here is that "A" company has entered into an agreement with "B" company for producing goods on it's behalf. Now "A" company has paid a huge sum of money (say 25 lakhs) to "B" company for procurement of material.

The payment is an advance and invoice is not yet received.
