Symptoms

On : 9.1 version, AR Update - Reset process.

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
If ARUPDATE job that is trying to post a payment group runs to No Success when running AR_POST1 process and the reset process is run for that abend, it does not unlock the process instance on the PAYMENT table.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
If reset process is updating tables like ITEM_ACTIVITY, PENDING_ITEM then it should reset PAYMENT table as well.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

  1. Put some bad code at step AR_POSTING.DIFF_INH.UPD_INH.
  2. Enter payment and run ARUPDATE.
  3. The ARUPDATE will fail at "AR_POSTING.DIFF_INH.UPD_INH". 
  4. Now go to Receivable Update - reset process and reset the failed instance.
  5. Query PAYMENT table for the failed payment you will see PROCESS_INSTANCE is not set to 0. Query tables like PENDING_ITEM, DEPOSIT_CONTROL, GROUP_CONTROL resets PROCESS_INSTANCE to 0.
  6. Payment is not getting picked up by next ARUPDATE.


BUSINESS IMPACT
-----------------------
Payment is not getting picked up unless reset PROCESS_INSTANCE in PAYMENT table using SQL update.
