APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  18th Aug 2021:
  
  1. Go to Exchange Rates application --> Create 2 exchange rate
  rows
  - 1 EUR to USD - 2.00
  Active Date: 01st Aug 2021
  Expiration Date: 18th Aug 2021
  - 2 EUR to USD - 4.00
  Active Date: 19th Aug 2021
  Expiration Date: 26th Aug 2021
  
  2. Set Invoice Upper Tolerance to 10 (Security Groups -->
  maxadmin --> Limits and Tolerances)
  
  3. Go to Purchase Order --> Create a new PO (1146)
  
  4. Change Currency to EUR
  
  5. Select any Vendor
  
  6. Go to POLines and select an Item (0-0031)
  Line Cost 50
  Storeoom - Central
  
  7. Save the record
  
  8. PO's Total Base Cost is showing as 100 (EUR) --> This is
  correct as the EUR --> USD rate is 2.00 (so 50x2)
  
  9. Approve this PO and wait for one day
  
  Next day, on the 19th Aug 2021,
  
  10. Go to PO 1146 and revised it (Rev 1)
  
  11. Go to POLine and delete the item
  
  12. Add the same item with the same cost (50) and save the
  record
  
  13. Approve the PO
  
  14. Go to Receiving and receive PO 1146 in full
  
  15. Now go to Invoices and create a new Invoice 1079 referencing
  PO 1146
  
  16. Go to Invoice Lines and click on Copy PO lines
  
  17. Save the record
  
  18. Now, try changing the status of the Invoice to Approve
  
  RESULT:
  Receive the following error:
  ---
  BMXAA2013E - Could not change invoice 1079 status to APPR.
  BMXAA1964E - Cannot approve invoice 1079. The difference in cost
  between line 1 of the invoice and the purchase order line is 25
  EUR, which exceeds the tolerance of 2.5 EUR.
  ---
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The Invoice should be approved without any error as there is
  actually no mismatch between the PO and the Invoice.
  Maximo might be considering the exchange rate of the revised
  version of the PO, which it should not.
