1. Post a down payment document with Special G/L Indicator A.
2. Run the Withholding Tax report via the Run Statutory Reports app.
3. Observe that the down payment document appears in the report with a negative amount.

This is the expected standard behavior in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. Down payment documents are included in the Withholding Tax report with a negative amount, reflecting their original accounting sign.

No action is required. The negative amount for down payment documents in the Withholding Tax report is standard system behavior.

If local legal requirements in a specific country/region mandate that down payment amounts must be reported as positive values in the Withholding Tax report, submit a feature request through the Customer Influence portal and attach the relevant local legal documentation. This will allow the Local Product Management team to evaluate the requirement and determine the appropriate next steps.
