3695624 - Nominal amount and payment amount mismatch after editing Cash Flow in financial instrument - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • The nominal amount differs from the payment amount in a financial transaction.
  • The nominal amount matches the payment amount before editing the cash flow lines but does not align after modification.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a financial transaction in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
  2. Modify the Payment Amount of cash flow lines.
  3. Observe that the nominal amount and payment amount do not align.

Cause

The discrepancy occurs due to the system design behavior when cash flow lines are modified without triggering the refresh process correctly.

Resolution

The inconsistency is not a bug in the calculation logic but a missing UI step during the data entry process:

  • When a manual change is made to the Payment Amount, the system requires a data validation/refresh step to correctly align the Nominal Amount (or the nominal base associated with that payment flow) with the newly entered payment value before saving the changes.

  • Clicking the "Check" button or pressing Enter serves as the necessary trigger to refresh the screen fields and update the related Nominal Amount to match the Payment Amount.
