3794399 - Flow Builder – Tax amounts not consolidated as expected in One Exposure - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

When running Flow Builder with the "tax consolidation" option, tax amounts are sometimes consolidated as expected, but in other scenarios they appear split across multiple cash flow items in app Check Cash Flow Items.

The inconsistency leads to questions about whether tax consolidation is functioning properly for journal entries.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Run job template Flow Builder in app Schedule Jobs for Flow Builder with Tax consolidation enabled.
2. Check the target journal entry in app Check Cash Flow Items and found that the tax line items are not consolidated.

The observed behavior is explained by the standard, sequential processing in One Exposure from Operations:

1. Tax merge function runs first.
2. Split logic runs afterward to determine the final number of flow items.

Due to the sequential relationship, the tax merge function cannot be considered to override or take precedence over the split logic. The split rules will still apply after tax merge and may lead to multiple flow items when distinct classifications exist.

Use Document Chain Tracing to analyze the G/L classification chain driving the split. If necessary, adjust the mapping so that classifications align with the intended consolidation outcome.
