To remedy the issue we currently have with the Expanded Amort release whereby the reporting by amort or posting period excludes all amorts that have been undone (using the In-life history undo option), thereby causing issues with report opening and closing report balances not flowing from one period to the next as the undo amort balances are completely removed from the reporting once the amort is undone. We need to include the undone (deleted) amorts in the reporting by including the reversal of the amorts undone using the HDR deletion date as the posting date.
Background: The in-life history "undo" option was introduced early on in the product's development and allows users to reverse single of multiple in-life changes easily. The GL does a "true-up" to cumulatively correct the GL postings when it sees an undo has been performed (based on previous amort header IDs). Although the GL correctly reflects the cumulative impact of the amort undone, none of the reports reflected the undone changes correctly. The reports would erroneously have changed opening balances when a back dated undo was performed. With the Historical Date Reporting (HDR) release we tried to capture when changes were made in the system and this allowed us to report the closing report balances correctly but this still left an issue with the opening balance and movement balances. The Expanded Amort release was meant to resolve this issue by allowing users to report by Amort or Posting Period with each amort having an amort posting date i.e., the date when actioned in the system to allow posting period reporting and the modification date and lease inception date would still be used for the amort period reporting. Unfortunately, although we have accurately captured the reporting posting and amort movements, we did not address the issue with undos. The undone amorts are simply deleted so you report on balances for x periods and then when the amort action is undone, the balance simply disappear from the reports. This is simply not acceptable from an accounting perspective, there should be full transparency of the report balances. To remedy this we need to include the reversal of the undone amort balances at the posting period when the amort action was undone.
