Symptoms

When calculating the FM EFC for any ISIR Record loaded in Aid Year 2024, the ISIR computed budget duration field - initially set to 0 at the time of the ISIR load - is not getting updated by the FM EFC Calculator. 

In 2023 and prior aid years, the FM INAS calculation would always update the field from 0 to the value defined for the student - in Global Options or FM Extensions; it's assumed the same behavior would carry forward in Aid Year 2024. As a result, any equation engine equations previously written to incorporate this field could produce incorrect results in Aid Year 2024.

The budget duration on the award period record (STDNT_AWD_PER or FAN_AWD_PER_VW) is still being updated as expected for Aid Year 2024, compared to prior years.

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

1. Run query of ISIR_COMPUTED.BUDGET_DURATION (or same field on FAN_ISIR_CMP_VW) for AID_YEAR 2024 and 2023.
2. If necessary run FM EFC Calculation (2024) and FM INAS (2023) on any student for comparison.
3. Note all records in 2024 show 0 before and after the EFC is calculated, whereas 2023 shows value value > 0 after FM INAS is calculated.
