IZ44300: CANNOT APPROVE INVOICE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• To reproduce issue in 7.1.1.2:
  
  Set all invoice tolerances for the user's group to 0 for all
  whole values and 0% where a percentage is required.
  In database configuration set the unit cost on PO lines as well
  as invoices to allow for 6 decimal places.  Keep the line cost
  in
  both places with the default 2 decimal places.  Run the database
  configuration.
  
  1. Create a new PO, add a vendor and then go to the PO lines.
  2. Add a new row for item 560-00.  Add a quantity of 21.  Add
  order unit EACH and issue unit EACH.
  3. Set the conversion factor to 1, set the unit cost to
  25.050000 which should set the line cost to 526.05.
  4. Save the record and approve it.
  5. Go to the Receiving application and receive the po line.
  6. Go to the invoice application and create a new invoice for
  your PO.  Add the PO line.
  7. Save the record and attempt to change the status to APPR.
  The result is that the following error message is displayed:
  BMXAA2013E - Could not change invoice XXXX status to APPR.
  MMXAA1983E - Cannot approve invoice XXXX.  The difference in
  cost between line 1 of the invoice and the purchase order line
  is -0 USD, which is less than tolerance of 0 USD.
