Payment Schedule - Current Period Start Date Field is Missing

Troubleshooting


Problem

On modifying a payment schedule to change the frequency to specific quarter the current period start date is not calculated automatically within the form preventing it from being saved.

Symptom

By changing the Frequency Type of the Payment Schedule to Specific Quarter (Location Specific) will not let the record to be saved because the Current Period Start Date Field is missing which appears to be a required field.

Cause

This has been identified as a product defect under APAR IV87389

Diagnosing The Problem


· Generate a payment schedule as below where the ‘Frequency’ field does not result in the ‘Period Start Date’ field being displayed. Fig 1.




· On opening the payment schedule and attempting to change the ‘Frequency’ field to specific Quarterly (Location Specific) are unable to view the current period start date. Fig 2. [This field is generated automatically if generating payment schedules.] unable to save / save&Close the form once this has been selected.




· Error message not showing on the general tab however an error message can be seen in the notes and documents tab. Fig 3.


Resolving The Problem

This is validated as a Documentation Defect.  If the Frequency needs to be changed, the user should delete the payment schedule then recreate the payment schedule using the Generate Payment Schedule form. See link below for the supporting DOC APAR,

Also, after the Payment Instruction enhancement was added in 10.4.2 there are other values that the user should not change on the payment schedule.  Following is the release note from 10.4.2.

"On a Payment Schedule in Pending status, the Payment Type, Start Date and End Date fields are editable. With the new Payment Instruction enhancement, we recommend that the Payment Type, Start Date and End Date values are not modified once the Payment Schedule is created. If Payment Type, Start Date or End Date values need to be changed, create a new Payment Schedule using the Generate Payment Schedule form to keep the Payment Instruction in sync. (Tri-164802)"
