  Document Type: The type of document being posted (e.g., invoice, payment) may influence how taxes are calculated and reported.
  Multiple Tax Jurisdictions: If the transaction involves multiple tax jurisdictions, it may result in multiple tax line items being created.

  Review G/L Account Settings: Check the configuration of the G/L accounts involved in the transaction. Ensure that they are set up correctly for tax calculations.
  Check Tax Code Assignment: Verify that the correct tax codes are assigned to the G/L accounts and that they are appropriate for the transaction.
