3691855 - Incorrect VAT Calculation for Down Payments in app Document Chain Tracing for Cash Flow - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • In the app Document Chain Tracing for Cash Flow, the VAT amount for down payments is inaccurately calculated.
  • The VAT amount is added to the payment amount, despite VAT already being included, resulting in an inflated payment amount.
  • The total sum displayed in Cash Flow does not align with the amount shown in the bank statement due to the incorrect VAT calculation.
  • The VAT amount is displayed with the opposite sign compared to the total amount; It is expected the VAT base, VAT amount, and total amount to have the same sign.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

In the standard behavior of the product, not all document line items contribute to the flows' generation. Details of these contributions can be reviewed via the app 'Document Chain Tracing for Cash Flow'.

For flow generation within one document or clearing, the standard pairing logic relies on GL Classification, rather than directly depending on the G/L account itself. This pairing mechanism is responsible for the outcome.

If there is a need to adjust or customize the standard behavior, implementing a Business Add-In (BAdI) could be considered.
