Description:
We set our Budgets so that most of them have Budget Parents, and
some of the Parents also have Parents. For Example, a budget for "Dan's
Books" (ACQCA-2007) has a Parent called "Umbrella Books" (UMBBKS-2007)
which itself has a Parent "Umbrella Acquistions" (UMBACQ-2007). When I
ran p-acq-05 (Open Annual Budgets) for 2008 there was a glitch that I
did not catch until much later: one (yes, only one) of the budgets did
not have its Parent change years, i.e. ACQCA-2007 became ACQCA-2008, but
the parent for the new budget remained UMBBKS-2007.

Resolution:
This occured becaust the Z76-OPEN-DATE in the Budget record is 0. This field should contain the date the Budget record was created. It is a non-editable field and should be supplied by the system when the Budget is created.

The affected Budget - ACQCA-2007 - is the only one in the Z76 table with this problem.

All the 2008 budgets have an appropriate Z76-OPEN-DATE, so this problem shouldn’t reoccur in the future.
