Product: Accounts Payable
Idea: AP - Subcontract open commitments do not clear when marked as complete
More information: Presently, changing the status of a Subcontract to Closed when it has any remaining balances fails to decrement Open Commitments to 0.
The use case/need for this is:
1) A subcontract is established for a vendor, and the vendor of choice is changed.
2) A subcontract is completed for less than the originally established contract values. An example would be adjustments for holdbacks related to job performance.
The current behavior is also inconsistent with the manner in which remaining open commitments are handled for Purchase Orders. For the identical scenario on a PO,the open commitment calculation does decrement for the remaining balance of the purchase order.
But separately, Purchase orders are problematic if you close and re-open them. The software allows you to re-open a previously closed PO, but it doesn't bring back any remaining open commitments on the re-opened PO.
I am contending the two should behave consistently, and the behavior for Purchase Orders is the right behavior (disregarding the second problem).
