Symptoms

When repackaging Pell grants, and the item types are set up with a Rounding Option of None - to allow awarding in Cents - both Pell1 and Pell2 item types are being adjusted incorrectly. Two specific scenarios/behaviors have been observed:

• The Pell1 has the last term amount canceled, and the Pell2, if awarded in a disbursement plan with all terms, has its term amount canceled, and moved to the term where the Pell1 was canceled.
• Pell1 is initially awarded over three terms (e.g. summer/fall/spring) based on loads H/H/F; load then changes to 'F' in second term; initial repackaging is successful, resulting in second term amount increasing, and third term amount moved to Pell2 item type; but if the award is repackaged again, with no further changes in load, the Pell1 second term amount is reduced to the original amount (rounded down) with the third term amount and Pell2 unchanged; finally, subsequent instances of repackaging (with again no changes in load) produce no further changes, leaving the award in the incorrect state.

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

1. On Set Up SACR > Product Related > Financial Aid > Awards > Financial Aid Item Types > FA Item Type 2, for all Pell item types, set rounding option field to None (No Rounding). 
2. Identify a student with 0 efc, and full time in fall/spring/(trailing) summer terms. 
3. On Financial Aid > Awards > Award Processing > Assign Awards to a Student > Student Aid Package, manually award the student Pell1 and Pell2 item types; leave the amounts 0 so the system assigns, resulting in 3172.50 per term. 
4. On Set Up SACR > Product Related > Financial Aid > Awards > Repackaging Plan > Repackaging Plan, set up repackaging plan with two rules, to validate each item type. Do not use the validate remainder of package, and do not insert any other repackaging rules.
5. Auto-repackage student with the plan, and note the adjustments to both Pell item types.
