ACTUAL BEHAVIOR:
----------------------
PRC: Generate Asset Lines is assigning the CIP to an asset instead of keeping the generated amount as Unassigned.

After upgrading to 12.2.8, the users noticed that when the generate lines was run for a new expenditure, it was assigning it to an existing asset if it matched the task assigned to the asset.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

Prior to upgrading from 12.1.3, the CIP was always to generated as Unassigned and the users would assign the required amount to the asset.

The important setups to note are:
Asset Allocation is NONE
Project screen grouping: Specific asset
Task level grouping : Specific assets
