Found Another Bug...

[Matt]

I am using V.9 and have downloaded and installed the latest maintenance release (10/12/04). We upgraded to version 9 from version 8.5 the first week in October. Somewhere between loading the V. 9 upgrade and loading two maintenance releases (One dated around Sept. 30 and the 10/12 one) the monthly budgeted amounts for our general ledger accounts with budgets all got multiplied 4 times. For example, prior to loading the V.9 upgrade the monthly budgeted amount for our utilities account was $2500, or $30,000 for the year. But now the monthly budgeted amount is $10,000, or $120,000 for the year. This same situation happened with all of our accounts with budgeted amounts.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Users may want to re-check their monthly budgeted amounts if they have loaded the V.9 upgrade or any of the V.9 maintenance releases to see if this problem has occurred.

Also, a question for PowerChurch Support. Will the next maintenance release correct this or will I have to go in and manually correct all the budgeted amounts? If the next maintenance release will correct the problem when will this maintenance release be available? Thank you.

It actually was an issue that was fixed in a maintenance release. If you did any moving of accounts prior to applying the 9/24 maintenance release, you would see budgets get multiplied like that. Unfortunately, there's no good way of knowing what the budgets are supposed to be, so it doesn't automatically fix them. You'll have to reenter your budgets, or, if you've just converted, uninstall, delete the pcplus9 directory, reinstall, run the latest MR, and then convert again. The fix in the MR will prevent this from happening any more when moving accounts. Sorry.
