IV95287: CHARGE DETAILS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR ISSUE ITEM, SO ITEM GETS ISSUE/BALANCE DECREASED WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CHARGE DETAIL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With DEACTIVE GL VALIDATIONS? checkbox checked, then in the
  Inventory application, if user selects Issue Current Item and
  does not enter a work order, asset, location, or gldebitacct,
  Maximo
  will NOT give the following error:
  "BMXAA1878E - The charge details for a material issue/return
  have not
  been specified."
  The balance is decreased but the item is not recorded against
  any charge details as none have been specified
  
  Maximo 7.6.0.5:
  We have the following system variables defined:
  VARNAME                       VARVALUE
  DISABLEGLSWITCH                1
  GLREQUIREDFORTRANS        0
  
  In the Inventory application, if user selects Issue Current Item
  and
  does not enter a work order, asset, location, or gldebitacct,
  Maximo
  will save the transaction with no errors.
  
  Steps to replicate:
  First go to module Financial<Chart of Accounts applicaiton
  Under More Actions select Validation Options
  Ensure Deactivate GL Validations? is CHECKED (This is the key to
  reproducing the issue) and Require Valid GL Account for All
  Transactions? is UNchecked
  Go to Inventory application
  REcall record XMP-3500
  More Actions<Issue Current Item
  In subsequent dialog box scroll down to DETAILS area
  Remove GL DEBIT Account
  Click OK
  RESULT: Although NO asset, location work order or GL is
  specified no
  error is thrown and the Balance for the item is decremented by
  the Qty
  specified in the dialog box
  
  I tested changing GLREQUIREDFORTRANS to true
  and
  it then requires something in the GL field or it will give a
  message:
  "BMXAA1185E - The debit or credit general ledger account is not
  specified."
  .
  Additional Comments
  
  - Turning off the GL validation should only stop the system from
  checking whether a GL account is valid or not (components are
  valid,
  string is valid etc.)....it shouldn't allow the user to issue
  the item
  to nothing.
  - Client needs to ensure that a user can't accidentally issue
  the item
  to nothing and believes that a message should be displayed as it
  does
  for the scenario where Deactivate GL Validations? is UNchecked
  - Validation should still take place to confirm that the item is
  being
  issued to a work order, asset, location or GL.
  
  Tested in 7508 and there is also NO error message thrown when
  the
  Deactivate GL Validations? is UNchecked, however, the Current
  Balance
  does NOT decrement when the OK is clicked in the Issue Current
  Item
  dialog box
  Tested in 7605  and confirmed NO error message is thrown and the
  Current Balance is decremented as per the report of the issue
  Tested in 7607 and confirmed NO error message is thrown and the
  Current
  Balance is again decremented
