Rejected PR Amendment Is Creating Encumbrance Accounting When The Subsequent PR Amendment Approved (Doc ID 3047665.1)

Goal

When a purchase requisition (PR) amendment is created and submitted and then rejected, no accounting entries on the date of its rejection or its creation are created.

Another amendment to this same PR was created after that, it was approved. At the time the second amendment was approved, an accounting entry for the rejected amendment was generated in the Oracle EBS system. There was a dollar amount change versus the basic PR for the rejected amendment, but there was not with the approved subsequent PR amendment.

The following options are configured in the Oracle EBS system:

      Purchasing > Financials Options> Encumbrance> Use Requisition Encumbrance and Financials Options> Encumbrance> Reserve at Completion.

In order to prevent this issue from happening in the future,  the configuration Financials Options> Encumbrance> Reserve at Completion is being planned on removing this configuration. 

What is the impact per the following questions:

Question 1: Will this configuration change prevent rejected PR amendments from generating encumbrance accounting if a subsequent amendment to the same PR is approved from happening in the future?

Question 2: Will there be any undesirable impacts to the Oracle EBS system if we choose to uncheck this configuration in the Financials Options?

Question 3: Is the only way to prevent this issue in the future to cancel the rejected amendment before creating any subsequent amendments to a PR?
