  2. Over maximum calculation is incorrect for task maximums if there is more than one over maximum account assigned to the same task in Microsoft Dynamics SL

Over maximum calculation is incorrect for task maximums if there is more than one over maximum account assigned to the same task in Microsoft Dynamics SL

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario in Project Controller in Microsoft Dynamics SL 7.0:
  • You enter a value in the Max Amount box in the Project Maximums (PA.PMM.00) screen for two or more account categories for the same task.
  • You use the Allocation Processor (PA.PRO.00) screen to book a project transaction to one of the account categories that has a max amount defined that exceeds that max amount. The overmax amount is booked correctly to the overmax account.
  • You use the Allocation Processor (PA.PRO.00) screen to book a second project transaction to the same account category that has a max defined.
In this scenario, you notice that Project Allocator incorrectly books the overmax amount of the original transaction and the new transaction to the overmax account. This causes the overmax account to be booked for more than expected.

Cause

This problem occurs because all overmax calculations after the initial calculation ignore previous over maximum amounts that were calculated.
