Symptoms

When the revenue GL account for a credit memo with rules is changed, the form still retains the original GL account and posts to the General Ledger using the incorrect/original GL account.

However, if the credit memo is incompleted prior to changing the GL account, the modified GL account is used as expected.

Reproduction Steps:
Responsibility: Receivables Manager

1. Navigation: Transactions > Transactions
   Create and complete an Invoice
2. Create a credit memo against this Invoice, save and complete it.
3. Navigate to the distributions form and change the GL account for the Revenue, save your changes.
4. Navigation: Control > Accounting > Revenue Recognition
5. Run Revenue Recognition
   
6. Navigation: Transactions > Transactions
   Go back to transactions form then re-enter and query up the credit memo again. Navigate to the distributions form and note that Revenue recognition has used the original GL account instead of the new GL account.
