  2. When an overmax ceiling is changed, a previously calculated overmax amount is not adjusted correctly

When an overmax ceiling is changed, a previously calculated overmax amount is not adjusted correctly

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario in Microsoft Dynamics SL:

  • In Acct Category Maintenance (PA.ACC.00), you set up an account category OVERMAX to be used to track amounts that are over a defined maximum.
  • In Project Controller Setup (PA.SET.00), on the Bill to a Maximum Setup tab, you enter an Acct Category that will have a maximum amount (such as REVENUE), and enter OVERMAX as the Over-Max Adjustment Acct Category.
  • In Project Maximums Maintenance (PA.PMM.00), you enter a maximum amount for REVENUE for a project.
  • You bill more REVENUE than the maximum amount that was established for this project, and when you do that, you notice that the amount over the maximum is posted to the OVERMAX account category.
  • In Project Maximums Maintenance (PA.PMM.00), you increase the maximum amount for REVENUE for the project.
  • You bill more REVENUE for this project.

When you do this, you notice that the system recognizes the new REVENUE maximum and adjusts REVENUE correctly, but does not back out or adjust the amount that had previously been posted to the OVERMAX account category.
